Stuck At The Windows 7 Logo During First Boot?
Sep 6, 2010
I am trying to dual boot Windows 7 Home Premium and Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop (Toshiba Portege M400). I had Ubuntu 10.04 installed previously but I decided to wipe my hard drive before installing Windows 7. I used GParted to delete all my partition and setup two new ones. I formated the first partition as NFTS for Windows. After that, I proceeded to installing Windows. The first time I tried it, I was successful although I did need to reformat that NFTS partition I had made because it said that the partition table type (GUID) was not compatible. Windows 7 installed fine after that. However, when I try to install Ubuntu, it sees the whole disk as blank. I tried resolving this issue with GParted but that too saw the drive as if it were blank even though Windows 7 was installed. After that, I booted up the GParted Live CD once again and changed the partition table to MS-DOS. My Windows 7 boots up and goes through all the tasks before the first boot up. When it restarts for the first time, it fails to boot; it simply stays on the glowing Windows logo. I've tried formatting the entire disk through the Windows 7 disk and partitioning from there several times and I still get the same results.

Last night, my computer spontaneously rebooted. When it got to the 'Starting Windows' screen, the animated windows logo never appeared. I rebooted. Tried running System Recovery. This time, the screen is "Windows is loading files..." The progress bar fills up and then freezes.
Tried booting into safe mode. Again, the "Windows is loading files" progress bar fills up and then freezes. Tried to reinstall Windows. Boots from DVD, then the "Windows is loading files" progress bar fills up and then freezes yet again. Have been running Memtest86+ for the last ~9 hours, no issues.
Specs: MSI 790FX-GD70 | AMD Phenom II X4 945 | 4x2GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3-1333 | 1x80GB Intel SSD (OS) | 2x1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 7200RPM HDD (other) | 1x2TB WD Elements external HDD (backup) | XFX RadeonHD 6870 1GB GDDR5

I wanted to dual boot Win 7 64 with my vista 32 but after the install completes and the computer reboots it hangs on the Win 7 boot logo and then just stays there until i turn off the power button. It's kinda like the problem when you have a USB plugged in and the boot logo hangs except there's nothing plugged into the comp. Reinstalled again the the same result. When I look at the win 7 drive from vista it looks like all the files are all there but it just keeps hanging on that logo =(. What should I do?
Also when i try and boot into safemode it hangs on "Classpnp.sys"
I've looked elsewhere and seen that people solved this problem by updating bios but I have the latest version of mine =(
I've tried EVERY boot option in F8 to no avail.

The problem is this. I got a new GPU for my moms computer. She installed it, it worked fine. She played her game for a bit then went to restart the computer and now it wont work. It'll get stuck at the windows logo where it will pulsate but nothing else after (it just keeps doing that).The only other thing we can besides starting windows normally is doing Windows Start Up Repair. We don't get the option to start in safe mode ( I think. We we supposed to hit F8 while on the windows logo to do that?). When we run Start Up Repair, it goes to Windows with some kind of progress bar that just keeps going and going (it's not really a progress bar, more just to show that it's loading something I guess).When we try booting Windows from the disc, we get the same two options "Start Windows Normally" and "Start Windows Repair" or or something like that.The only things we have not tried yet are:*Letting Start Up Repair go for 15+ minutes (we went for 15 minutes but decided to try other things to fix the issue)Taking out the new card and putting in the old card *Going in to Bios and press F5 to set everything to default Resetting Bios (idk how to do this processes but I've reada bit and I can find a guide)We tried press F8, but that just takes us to the boot menu with a list of devices to boot from. If we try to boot from the device with windows on it, it just gives us the options to start Windows normally or run repair.For some reason, we just cannot reinstall windows. We set bios to boot from disc, we even try manually booting from disc via the boot menu, but no go. So booting from disc and repairing or something similar is apparently not an option. What could it be?I am thinking that it is an issue with the hard drive. I don't know. Any thoughts or opinions?I feel really bad at this point. I wanted to help out and I caused this headache Edit: I forgot to mention, I live several hours from her, so I cannot do anything manually myself. Any instructions or tips or whatnot I will have to give over skype

I'm not 100% sure if this is even the right place to post this, so sorry if it's in the wrong forum. I have a Asus N53S laptop runnin windows 7 32 bit and I am having some trouble with it. This will probably be a large post so bear with me, the first problem I started having was blue screens on startup. I was able to fix the computer by running Startup repair a few times (tool about 3-4 hours) after that it worked for a day but the next day when I turned on the computer it froze and the music that was playing turned into a loud droning noise. After that I ran the startup repair again it did not work so I did a system restore, it seemed to fix the problem but sadly on startup I started getting blue screens again and this time neither startup repair nor system restore would work (I get a message saying there was a unexpected error: the system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002) please close system restore and try again) I re open system restore 5 times and I get the same message.I restart my computer , spam f8 and choose the use last known good configuration. After I restore everything to factory settings and finish installing my steam games and other files I Ty restarting the computer to see if it fixed the problem. It seemed to have worked however that night there was a particularly large windows update (90 or so a one time) I clicked shutdown and let it finish the updates while I went to sleep. The next morning I wake up and turn on the computer it finishes syncing the updates then stays at the starting windows screen ( the logo would not show up just those words and a black screen. After it sat like that for 10 minutes or so I hold the power button and try again ,this time it did the same thing but only for a few seconds and it ran startup repair itself , startup repair could not fix the problem.

I recently built a computer, and tried to install Windows 7 OEM on it, but it gets stuck at the screen where it says starting windows and the logo appears. The logo gets smaller and larger. I've been told it might be something with the RAM, but tested it out and that's not the problem.

I tried to flash drive on another computer it worked fine, but on my desktop it will not..If i turn my dektop on without the flash drive it comes up and says Reboot and Select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.If i insert the flash drive it freezes..If i start the computer with the flash drive in, it wont even get to the screen it freezes at the screen that tells me to press f12 for this, esc for that etc etc.This person has the same problem..And I cant boot from my origonal Hard drive because I believe its gone bad, If i start it with that hard drive it says Reboot and select proper boot device, its like it doesnt even recognize it, which im guessing means its gone bad.. But it wont freeze with that hard drive, but I also cant do anything

Well it had been awhile since I reloaded windows and found out about win8 so I decided to try the new windows 8 release preview. After it installing it, It would go past the windows loading screen and leave a blank screen. Disappointed I went to load windows 7. Installed fine, but after the first restart it will not go past the windows logo screen.
When I say I'm reloading windows I am not formating my harddrive. I'm running a single harddrive setup and have 500gig of entertainment and miscellaneous I have not way to backup. I do the write over partition thing where it throws everything in a windows.old folder. I'm considering getting a solid state just to load windows to. Formatting the current drive is not an option.
I can boot to safe mode, but being this is a new install there is nothing I did to undo.

i recently built a computer and got everything working . Now my problem is that after i shut down my computer for example at night and turn it on in the morning it will always get stuck in the windows 7 logo. I have to turn off the pc and turn it back on once or twice for it to boot correctly. Is there any way to fix this problem? I have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and i have re-installed it twice already but still get this problem. This only happens when i leave the computer off for a long period of time.

I am running an Advent desktop PC and its stats are as follows; Intel Core i5-2310 CPU @ 2.90GHz 8GB RAM Win 7 64 bit.The problem I am having is when ever i boot up the computer it shows the Advent logo-screen where I can access the boot menu etc but then it goes to a black screen with a cursor/underscore flashing in the top left... This screen stays for quite a while and I am not sure if it stops because of a key I have pressed or just because it has run its course but after it disappears the computer goes back to the logo-screen for a moment and proceeds to boot up as normal except slightly slower than usual.It is a relatively new computer and it has no problems running at all once the boot up is complete it is fast and as friendly as ever.

I have just bought a laptop with OEM Windows 7 in it. There are some minor annoyances in it. When I switch on the laptop, a logo of the institute from which the laptop's seller got the laptop (the engineering institute presents a laptop to every student), appears then booting process continues as it should.
I wish to remove this logo. Also, CD/DVD Drive isn't visible in Computer.

I have a machine running windows 7 64bit and previously i had a 500gb hdd in the machine, i purchased a tv monitor of a friend who had upgraded his, but once i connected this through dvi i have the issue stated no signal past the windows logo upon boot. my friend came around to my house one night and solved this issue, he did something within the task manager and something else and by magic it worked, i think he said something about conflict of drivers i'm not too sure we are going back a few years. So i KNOW that my monitor works because it has been working for 3 years at least.Now my hdd failed so i recently upgraded for a nice new ssd super quick as we all know, i did a fresh install of windows and now i am having this same issue with my monitor not displaying and unfortunately for me this time i have not got a friend so close by to come and fix this again.so what i do know is that there is a fix somewhere within windows and that i do not have any faulty hardware or monitor, but i am stuck.

I can't access system recovery or most of the advance boot options. I have tried using repair cds and install cds but the computer refuses to boot from cd drive my laptop is an hp model g61. I don't really know what other specs you need I have noticed it always stops when loading a certain driver atipcie.sys. The full error I get is: "Stop: c0000135 the program can't start because %hs is missing from your computer try reinstalling the program to fix the problem". I'm not even sure what that program is.

have done a few internet searches on this one, but the things to try that i have come across have not worked in reinstating the nice animated windows logo on start up of windows 7. I appear to have lost it after doing a windows system restore and am now left with the very dull green progress bar which is low res and boring!!
As i say i have tried the bcdedit and bcdboot commands that are listed on many sites as resolving this issue.

i'm building an htpc with xbmc on my windows 7 so i'm trying to customize the boot process. I changed successfully the boot logo (win 7 one) and the boot logon screen. The problem is that my tv supports only 1280x720 res and not the 1024x768 that needs the new windows 7 boot logo, so it automatically starts with the old windows vista boot logo.Can i customize that too in win 7? If i can how can i do it? It's the same of windows vista?

Alright I am running Windows 7 ultimate x64 on my newly built computer. My computer can successfully boot past the bios and get to the logo screen. Then I get to the Windows logo which is a hit or miss. Sometimes it will boot successfully and I will have no problems whatsoever and I can enjoy my computer without worrying about anything. Then sometimes it will get hung on the logo and it will just stop responding. I don't know if this is an issue with my HDD or maybe my power supply. I think that this may be a problem with my power supply because I notice that my keyboard LED turns of when it hangs like that. The only question then is "why is this not a consistent problem that I can isolate?"
Here are my specs:
Case: Coolermaster HAF 922
CPU: Core i7 3930k (3.2 ghz stock; will OC to 4)
Motherboard: x79 Asrock Extreme 4 (x5 sata 6.0 Gb, x2 usb 3.0 ports, PCI-e 3.0 support, and quad-channel memory)
RAM: 8 gigs (2x4 gig's) of 1600 DDR3
GPU: x1 Radeon 6870
PSU: 600 Watts
HDD: 500 gig's 7200 RPM (Seagate baracuda)
Cooling: closed loop liquid cooling, Tuniq TX-2 High Performance Thermal Compound, and the standard fans on the case
Optical drive: LG 12x Blu-Ray reader and DVD combo drive
Monitor: 22" LED 1920x1080 -- ASUS VS228H-P (21.5 viewable)

I need help and suggestions on what to do with this black screen crisis. Mine is a little different that others. so sorry if this is a repeated thread. ive looked everywhere, and no one has the issue when they have dual boot.I have dual boot on my laptop with windows 7 ultimate 32 bit and windows 7 home premium 64 bit. the home premium came pre installed on the laptop and the ultimate version i installed later dual boot (i needed some capabilities that home premium doesn't have).I cannot see anything on my screen after windows logo while booting up my laptop bcz of the black screen after the windows logo. When i boot into WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM. i hear windows logon screen notification noise but see nothing! oddly enough even my built in webcam logs me in with VeriFace software with my face, passwordless! ALSO my laptop boots fine with windows 7 ultimate and i can see everything, and it works great! i need the other version to WORK cause my life is in that other version of windows. i cannot factory restore!!!
What i have tried: the keyboard is also unresponsive, bcz i held down a bunch of keys to see if it makes the beep noise. I closed the laptop lid to see if it goes into hibernation and waited 3 mins to see if it still does, so that when i open it i can see everything (it has worked before). nothing. i rebooted a bunch of times even with a second screen attached, tried to guess switch into projector mode with my function key and switch screen/projector button. i have also done a power cycle. i think the registry is screwed, or maybe the graphics card drivers are ruined. have not done a registry repair through the other windows version (doing that next). i have defragged both partitions for both of the windows 7 versions through the one that works.What may have caused it: the last time i used home premium, i rebooted so that i can use the ultimate version (for the extra capabilities). i was not watching and it booted up in home premium, and the built in cam is so fast that i merely looked at the laptop and it logged me in. i was being unpatient, bcz you have to wait for the lenovo programs to load before you can restart. so i forced shut down (very bad idea) by holding the power button and booted up in ultimate finally while watching.

I have this weird issue since i installed Comodo Firewall 3.9
I start the computer, the bios logo loads up, it takes 1.5 mins (like 10 sec before) till it continues to the windows boot manager, from there on everything works fine.
So far ive updated my bios, loaded the defaults without any success.
I also disabled my bios "quick boot" feature, and it seems that it lags for 1.5mins at the point where it checks that everything is ok, it says something like: CPU: amd athlon 64...xxxx, thats where it takes 1.5mins, then continues to test memory etc but that took too long for me, and i ran a memtest 2 days ago without any problems.
I wondered if it could be in any way possible that the firewall i installed is causing the problem, as far as i know its not officially Windows 7 compatible.
Some specs that might be useful:
ASUS Crosshair (Newest bios)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
ASUS ATI EAH4850
2GB of DDR2 memory
Ask if you need any other information.
