Boot Screen Freezes?
May 13, 2012
If I close down my computer by switching it off with the on/off switch, when I next boot, I see the message"Start Windows Normally" and a stopwatch which counts off the seconds until the machine will boot normally together with several options to boot into Safe Mode, which is expected. However I cannot select"Start Windows Normally" or move up and down to select Safe Mode options. I have to let the timer run it's course and boot normally because the whole window is frozen

The problem is that when the bootscreen is showing, the animation plays just a bit and then it freezes, but windows boots ok. How do I fix the bootscreen animation?

My systems sometimes freezes during the boot process and all I get is black screen.
This happens when the error occurs:
BIOS shows up normally
Window 7 logo is shown for a brief second
black screen
With boot details enabled, I see that drivers are getting loaded until classpnp.sys. After that the screen goes black as well and the system hangs.
Now when I turn on the machine, I get a text screen asking me whether to start normally or run a recovery attempt. Usually starting normally is all it takes and Windows boots up fine. Once Windows is up and running, it's rock solid. No lockups, no BSODs or whatsoever.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to get debug details of this part of the boot process (os loader phase?).
I already switched the SATA Ports, switched to a different brand and even switched to mSATA. So I'm pretty sure it's not the SSD. Using Windows SATA drivers or Intel RST doesn't make a difference either btw.
Hardware :
Motherboard : Intel DN2800mt, latest BIOS (156)
Graphic Card : GMA 3650 (recent drivers)
CPU : Cedar Trail Atom @ 1,8GHz
Ram : 4 GB - Corsair 1333 MHz
SSD: Crucial M4 64 GB in AHCI mode, latest FW (000f)

As of about 3 days ago my Dell Inspiron N7010 (Windows 7 Home Prem 64bit) fails to boot up. It gets to the initial Windows screen before the login screen and freezes, then sends me into Startup Repair. [code] I've tried running the diagnostics and get no error codes. I've tried restore points, memory diagnostics.. pretty much everything except factory image, with no success. I have a lot of government programs installed on this laptop, so.

I find that the Windows 7 boot screen slows down the boot process on my machine. Is there a way to restore the old Vista scrolling loading bar? I know it's there as my netbook uses it.

About a month ago my PC was freezes on bootup. When I eventually got into Windows, the PC would often freeze again resulting in several bootups and system startup repairs etc. I ran several free and paid-for hardware diagnostic applications which all gave the results that no hardware had issues. I updated all the drivers so again eliminating any issues here.

Earlier today my computer had a rather nasty shut down with no battery and then this started. I have checked around and I have done everything I can think of to see what could be causing the screen freezes including: Checking Processes for something hogging CPU, checking event viewer system and application for excessive errors, running memory diagnostics and running in safe mode but I have had no luck. What could be slightly more alarming is that I am fairly sure that this freezing problem is actually occuring outside of Windows, in the BIOS I could still notice the freezing.

I've had trouble with BSODS and screen freezes on and of for a couple of weeks. Sometimes there is no dumpfile and sometimes there is nothing in event viewer. I uninstalled Avast free and the problem was gone for 4 days. I've tried almost everything. Cleaning out dust updating drivers sfc scannow/ diskcheck. I also reinstalled an image from before the problems started I had another this morning but no log I attacked what I've found relating to it. This is a Windows 7 64 bit with 8 gig ram and a NVIDIA GT 9800 video card. It's a HP dt500.

The last few days I've been getting annoying screen freezes, and it doesn't matter what I'm doing. I must have picked up something somewhere, but Spywareblaster, Malwarebytes, nor Avast are giving me any clues.

My laptop was working fine the other day and then all of sudden that same night my laptop would no longer load. It will always freeze at the Windows 7 welcome screen. The loading circle just stops spinning.I did not install any drivers or programs that day or even the past few days. Here is some info on what ive tried.
1) Safemode works without a problem.
2) However, safemode with networking still freezes. It will get past the welcome screen but then freeze after about 10 seconds
3) Ive tried doing alt+ctrl+del while booting in windows but it will still freeze. For some reason, I was able to get past the welcome screen but then it freezes like a few seconds later.
4) Ive tried restarting from safemode. It will still freeze at Windows 7 welcome screen
5) I had a password but then removed the password and enabled automatic login
6) The last thing Ive tried is to use chkdsk /f. I couldnt use it while in cmd so I allowed checkdisk to start when I restarted my computer. Checkdisk ran and gets stuck at 57% during phase 2, index searching. Now I cant even get to Windows because any hard shutdown and restart brings me automatically back to chkdsk. FML.
7) I need to try startup repair utility but I do not have the windows 7 installation CD handy at the moment. That also rules out windows repair.
Possible causes:
1) My HD may have become damaged during in transit. I had to bring with my other gear on to a plane
2) My windows 7 build may have expired. Probably not likely as it was working fine that same day.

whenever I turn on my Dell XPS Studio 13 laptop I get onto my log-in and it asks for my password. When I do enter it, the display "Welcome" shows up and I get stuck there. I've been looking at the forums on the page for similar problems and here is what I can say about the situation so far, Booting my laptop on Safe Mode (with Networking) works fine. Tried disabling networking, sound, and wireless devices in device manager did not work.

My laptop freezes on the welcome screen, windows7 home premium. Start up menu does not work in any safe mode. Would it be in my best interest to restore to out-of- box status?

Sometimes when I boot up the computer, It freezes up. It will say the network is available like normal, however when we click on anything like a shortcut, start menu, etc.. the screen goes transparent and says the program is not responding, it never responds and if we click "Yes" the whole screen is clear, no start menu, shortcuts, nothing except the desktop background.

My laptop is continuously freezing after startup. I after booting up and logging in everything will load completely then will often freeze for 10mins to upwards of 50mins, and I will eventually get a Microsoft Explorer error and everything will disappear from my screen leaving up only my wallpaper. And all attempts at bringing up the task manager will not work.

Firstly, my system specs are on my profile I got a new ram stick for my PC. Here's the link from where I bought it:Flipkart: Corsair DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMV4GX3M1A1333C9): RamSo I put it in and booted up the computer. Worked fine till the welcome screen of windows7. I then logged in and after the startup processes were loaded, I got a blue screen of death. Got it couple more times when I booted it up. After that the screen never gave any BSOD. Just kept freezine. This kept happening again and again. I thought it might be because my older corsair ram sticks could be conflicting with this one. So I booted it with the new stick only. Same freezing of screen. So it definitely isn't conflicting RAMs.
I decided to see if the problem is with the stick or some driver issue. So I booted into Ubuntu and am currently typing through it. Been using it since a couple of hours and is working fine. So this definitely is a windows issue with the RAM stick as windows works fine if I remove the new stick. Also, windows works fine in safe mode with the new stick too. Any idea what is the issue here? I'll be posting the minidumps of the BSOD in a short while.

I am sure everyone recognizes this: at almost every startup, you see the boot animation. Windows 7 uses those 4 colors that merge into a Windows flag.
But the animation freezes at a random moment, then after 3 seconds it disappears and there we have the normal menu where you choose a profile to login with.
I want to see the animation completely, so making use of those 3 seconds where the OS is loading to continue the animation.
You have this in Windows XP too, where the loading bar freezes.
Are there any solutions for this? It would be fantastic to see the Windows flag at the end, and not just those 4 colors about-to-merge.

XP installed and working fine on the first 100 Gig partition of a 250 Gig Drive.
Installed Windows 7 on a second 100 Gig partition.
Windows 7 boots and runs fine.
Boot menu works fine.
XP boots but freezes after it reaches the desktop.
Deleted the Windows 7 partition.
Boot menu with choice of Windows 7 or XP is still there.
XP starts and runs normal again.
Tried installing Windows 7 on a separate drive.
This added a 2nd instance of Windows 7 on Boot menu.
Windows 7 works fine
Windows XP freezes again after reaching the desktop.
Started XP in safe mode and disabled all startup programs and retried.
Same results, freezes at desktop.
Unplugged the Windows 7 drive.
Boot menu remains the same.
XP starts working normal again.
Evidently something in Windows 7 is interfering with the XP startup procedure.
What am I missing?

have asked this question before but I relocated my question here. I recently built a new computer. i5 quad core, Ga-p55 mobo, 8 gigs of ram- ddr3 1600 corsair, nvidia 460gtx se. When i start my computer up it freezes on the Windows Logo. I tested my ram, for 8 or so tests, no problems. I used 2 different hard drives and the problem happens on both of them. One of them is 500gig which i know works, the other was 750gig. when windows does load it takes about a minute or 2, with no other programs on it

Each time I turn on my PC, it boots up fine, but then when I open FireFox, I get a freeze up. I can still see the cursor and move it with the mouse, but there is no response when I click on anything. I have to shut the PC of manually and then when I restart it again, things work normally for the rest of the session.

I have a problem where windows 7 freezes just after logging in. It's happening on a new build (i7 2600k, asus P8Z68-V PRO, thermaltake 775w psu, 16gb 1833mhz corsiar vengence, crucial 120gb ssd, evga gtx 570). for three weeks the computer ran great and super fast. while playing a game it froze and required a hard restart. I began playing the game again and 20 minutes later it did the same thing. after another hard reset it began freezing after logging in. Sometimes getting stuck, sometimes getting a blue screen. in safe mode the computer would work fine. I had the asus autotune OC on the first time it happened, subsequent times had it off.
I discovered the issue seems to be the video card driver. after removing the gtx 570 the problem still occurred with the onboard video and intel drivers. When i uninstalled the intel drivers and just had standard vga there were no problems. this led me to believe it was a motherboard issue. luckily my motherboard was under 30 days old so i returned it for a new one. Same problem and i'm stuck on what the solution might be.

I am struggling to fix my computer. It all started when I went to install an 3rd 1 TB drive to my computer. The computer seemed to boot up just fine, then once windows started to load, I got the BSOD. Now I have disconnected all the drives but the one my os is on. When I load windows, I get a couple mins of use, then everything just freezes. I can work with safe mode a little, but it will randomly reboot after a few mins sometimes. I don't know what the problem could be. Here is what I have done/attempted so far. Disconnect all unnecessary devices - no changeRan a memory test - okTried startup repair - it says it fixed a couple problems, but I have not noticed any changesRan a DiskCheck - Fixed a couple bad clusters, but I have not noticed any changesSwapped PSU with one I know works - No changesRight now I am running a virus scan, I'll post later what the results were. I have attempted to do a system restore, but windows keeps crashing before it completes it. System Specs:Windows 7 x64AMD Athlon II x4 635MSI 880GMA-E458 GB DDR3 RAM (4x2GB)Saphire Radeon HD 5450

Dell Inspiron 537S has been working without a problem for 3 years. Suddenly, it will not boot -- the system freezes when the Flash screen appears. I have tried the following with and still get the same result.Tested all voltages on the power supply under load -- all are ok replaced the 3 volt bios battery.Originally, I thought the problem was bad hard drive, but the problem occurs before the operating system takes over. I also replaced the hard drive with a new one. Then I used the original Windows 7 Reinstallation DVD in an attempt to fix the problem. Same result with a new un-used hard drive as with the original hard drive.

Whenever I boot from an alternate source, (Knoppix linux CD boot, windows XP from dual booting), windows 7 freezes at the login screen. It does this everytime without fail, and only after the alternate boot once.
After this happens, I turn off my computer and restart and it boots fine. I did install a dual boot and mess with the partitions, but I found this happening even after I booted from a linux cd (knoppix, and did not change anything)
So it seems that after booting from an alternate source something changes for the windows 7 boot, and after a hard reset it fixes?

symptoms/occurrences:- playing online league of legends video game (biggest culprit, crashes 1 out of every 5 matches on average, sometimes just freezes with static sound, or sends me to bsod and shuts down)- sometimes afterwards will shut down again after gaming crash, for e.g. i played a Internet video and it crashed, restarted tried playing it again, crashed again.- sometimes crashes randomly, however it seems that when there is audio or video running, or high performance programs such as video games running, it is more prone to happen.have not done a memtest yet, but will probably do shortly, just need to go out and buy a blank cd.

I have a 7 month old Gateway desktop I got from Best Buy. Not long after getting it I replaced the power supply and put in a graphics card, no problems whatsoever. I didn't plug or unplug anything, but this morning I tried to turn it on and it sticks at the black screen with the logo, the logo will do the small wave thing and pulse but the computer won't go past it. I have tried recovery, repair, memory repair, and CHKDSK, all say they can't fix it automatically. Safe mode doesn't work and gets stuck while trying to load the files for it.
I took out the PSU and GPU and put back in the original power supply and it didn't fix it (not good with hardware so don't laugh if that sounds stupid). It did not come with a Windows 7 repair disk. I don't want to take it back and trade it in because I have files on it I want to keep, is there anything else I missed that may fix this?
Specs are (general as I don't know specifics):
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
i5 2320 CPU quad core @ 3GZ
8 GB RAM
Radeon HD 6770 GPU (Intel HD now that it's taken out)
