Windows Shuts Down At Windows Logo?
May 14, 2012
I've been having a lot of problems recently with my Toshiba laptop first it just started with my computer freezing at my desktop and windows explorer would stop responding etc so I wasn't able to do anything. I did a virus scan and malware scan in safe mode didn't find anything then decided to download a registry repair big mistake. I repaired all errors it found and then decided to defrag my registry thinking maybe that'd fix my problems.
After doing that I restarted my computer and now it won't even startup it gets to the windows logo then shuts off startup repair can't repair the error automatically and when I try to go into safe mode I get blue screen of death.

AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor 3.6 GHz CPUKingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) RAMGeForce GTX 560 Ti GPUm5a78l-m lx plus MOBO600Watt PS So the problem began a few months ago. it was a random shut off here and there. i was given 2 new parts after the problem started. it was the power supply (old one was 455W) and a new GPU (old one was gforce 9800). to think of it the problem might have started when i got a new motherboard cpu and ram. so im pretty sure one of those 3 is the problem. bare in mind that it would shut off aspecialy during game play but still only doing it once, twice a day. Now it shuts off while watching a movie or even chatting on facebook and when i try to start it, it just shuts off on me during the windows 7 logo loading again. it gives me 2 options to boot from: normal, and repair mode. if i go normal it just shuts down. if i repair it not always but sometimes fixes the problem for an hour or 2. but sometimes it just shuts off again.I play this game of cat and mouse for about 4-5 tries and get it to load. it's like an old car. forgot to mention i also went from windows vista 32bit to windows 7 64bit and problem is still here my computer uses 4GB ram for hardware reserve which i don't mind. i tried to reset the bios from a backup and it still keeps screwing with me.

My laptop is an old IBM Thinkpad T43 and there is no windows key logo in the keyboard.
There is any way in Windows 7 to set up other key to do the windows logo key function?

I have spent the last few days working on my friends Sony Vaio PCG-7184L(which by the way is not listed anywhere on sony's website). It runs windows 7 64bit and it freezes immediately after the Windows logo starts it's animation and there's about an inch of the top of the screen that is filled with weird colored lines. So I told him sure, I'll fix it, it's probably just a virus and should be fairly simple. I will list in sequence what I have done so far to diagnose/fix the issue. One more thing, it started doing this freeze up thing the same day he got it back from the Geek Squad at Best Buy, who were doing a simple update and cleaning from what my friend told me. Tried booting into safemode, froze, on hal.dll, with same colored lines at top of screen, Tried booting into ERD Commander 2k8 and froze at the same spot. Booted into Linux live CD and scanned for viruses with avast, there were none.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64 will hang after the "Starting Windows" logo, showing only a black screen, forcing me to hold down the power button.Windows will boot in safe mode and will boot if I disable my video card from Device Manager.I have run hard drive and memory diagnostics without any errors showing up.I did not change anything before the problem began occuring.I've already tried restoring to the initial system image from Lenovo OneKey Recovery (I'm using an IdeaPad Y560) and using the Windows System Restore, as well as updating drivers and BIOS.Attached are my event logs in administrative view from today (The problem has been occuring for a week or two, however, I don't have access to logs from that time), in which I reinstall my drivers and attempt to install a download manager in safe mode among other things.

After a recent power failure at my home, I tried to turn back on my computer and I get hanged at the windows 7 logo. I tried to restart multiple times but it don't work. So I to to do safe mode but it don't work either. It gets stuck when it loading to drivers. So I tried to put in the windows 7 installation disk to try and reformat my hard drive, but even that gets hanged at the logo screen when it tries to boot up.

When you turn it on it gets to Windows logo animation and at the beginning of the animation it just restarts.I loaded a Windows 7 image and tried the start-up repair but that gave no results so I thought I'll heck out the bootcat.cache file.

I recently built a new setup using two 350GB Western Digital SATA hard drives. They are raided and until today I've had no trouble with the computer at all. When turning my computer on it loads to the Windows logo (the pulsing coloured "squares" ) and after 10 seconds or so it reboots. When booting up it detects my raided drive however when I insert the Windows 7 cd to enter the repair menu it doesn't see the drive. What I mean is on the screen where you choose the OS to repair, it does not appear. It DOES appear, however, after inserting a USB device with my raid drivers on it and then locating them first. The trouble is, the first time I did this it detected my 700GB raid drive (or approx 630GB space). The second time, however, it only detected my old 200GB drive which I store music on. After switching to different SATA ports as suggested by another post I found on the net, I then encountered a 0xc000000F error which reads "0xc0000000f. Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible". I tried doing a MBR repair but I don't think it worked.

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 recently purchased an i7 Ivybridge, Corsair Vengeance 8GB and Asus Z68 to upgrade my home built PC. Today, after assembling the parts, the usual splash screens show up all the way up to the windows logo. After windows finishes loading, a STOP: 0x0000007B error prevents me from going further. I have attempted to restore to 2 days previously with no effect and startup repair cannot solve the issue. When using my old motherboard, windows starts normally. Diagnosis and repair details state the Root cause as 'Unspecified changes to system configuration might have caused the problem'.
EDIT: Switched ACHI to IDE in BIOS. This allows me to reach the login screen but I am unable to use mouse & keyboard.

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)

Windows 7 won't boot past logo. Will not repair when selected. Running in safe mode stops at Loaded:windowssystem32driversdisk.sys. Have tried to reload windows 7 and it says files are loading then comes back to the same point and locks at the windows logo.

I have a HP Pavilion G6 notebook and Windows 7 Ultimate 32. The OS froze today while I was working and the only solution was to shut it down by holding the power button. I restarted it afterwards and after the Windows 7 logo screen my display shuts off (it's not just a blank screen, the monitor is off). I tried using system restore and it gets me as far as the log-in screen and after I enter my password, it gives me another blank screen (this time the monitor is on, but the screen is blank) and ctrl+alt+del does not work, nor does anything else. I am writing from safe mode right now, it seems to work just fine, but a normal start-up gives me a black screen.

I'am running windows 7 professional. When i boot the PC, i have no trouble up to the point of the windows logo. When this disappears my screen (SyncMaster 913n) keep displaying the text "optimal screen resolution is 1280x1024 60 hertz" and then i dont see anything else than that. Even if i change the screen resolution to 800x600 i get the message. My GFX is 8800 Geforce GT with the drivers 285.62 (64Bit) same issue. Everything was working fine earlier today, then after a reboot i got this issue. The computer is a clean re-install so can their be missing some drivers besides the GT 8800 that can make the problem?

today i was working on the PC when the power got down for a second, i started the pc and the power blinked again, so i just waited 30 mins or so and i turned on the pc again, but this time it only got to the color balls that form the windows logo, showed the "please wait" message with a black background to finally led me to a black screen with the windows 7 ultimate logo on the bottom center, a button with some accesibility options to the left and the red button to turn off and reset the machine,i cant do anything more, Ctrl+Alt+Supr doesn't work or the windows key+R. starting in safe mode doesn't change anything neither.
my specs are:
Intel core 2 duo 2.4 ghz
2 gb RAM
250 GB HDD
geForce 9500 gt
PS: i didn't install or configure anything before the second time the power got down, and after the first one the pc started fine.

Basically my laptop was working fine last night. I turn it on this morning and after the windows logo appears the screen goes black. However i can see and move the mouse cursor still.I tried pressing f8 at the beginning of the start up, and tred to repair my problem using the windows 7 repair features, but it didn't work, annoyingly i forgot to set a restore point as well so i can't try that.When i go into safe mode the exact same thing happens, but with the mouse being slightly more pixelated and blocky.I've got a Windows 7 Premium 32 bit disk which i purchased from Windows, but when i load that up it tells me that to install it i need to log into windows, which i obviously can't.I'm using a HP G70-120EM, i've had it for just over 12 months (Annoyingly exactly a week after the warranty is void) and like i mentioned, i've been using Windows 7 premium 32 bit for the past 2 months

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.

My laptop is hp-dv6-3122tx with ATI 5650 and intel hd switchable graphics.Recently my laptop started giving me a black screen after the windows logo. I was having some issues with my GPUs too.Sometimes my ATI card was not coming up in the device manager and i was only using intel HD. i have noticed that when that happens i can't see my laptop charging icon changes to plugged in mode even though i plug in the charger , but the laptop was of course charging perfectly . But recently i found my ATI card back in device manager and it was working pretty well. But after exactly a week I started getting some white lines appearing in the display too. With that knowledge i assumed that the black screen issue is a counter-product of the GPU issue. I used safemode to uninstall all the GPU drivers. Then i can log into windows and work normally and windows detects the GPUs and install the plug and play drivers. After they install it i can restart the pc and work normally. But once a shut this down and later when i try to switch it on i get the black screen issue from ground zero. that makes me believe that this is mere a software issue. But those white lines i mentioned about is due to hardware fault i guess. I don't know what to do right now. I don't want ATI graphics, intel HD is ok. i just want to switch this thing on and do my work coz i can't afford another laptop right now.

So last night I turned off my PC as usual. Rebooted it this morning and every time the Windows 7 Logo disappears, all I see is a black screen, no mouse pointer, cant bring up task manager, the pc seems unresponsive. I am currently running the PC in safe mode.
There are other threads on the forums and on google, I have tried everything so far. As a list for you, this is what I have tried:
Windows Restore
Windows Repair
Reinstalling Windows 7 (will not allow me to do so from safe mode)
Booting Windows in low resolution mode.
Booting windows from the Win 7 CD I made, this causes me to get past the windows logo, then all I see is a mouse pointer and a windows background.
Using winkey + P does nothing.
I have 2 GeForce 9800 GX2s - I use 2 displays normally, occasionally using a third. The machine was running fine last night and no new software has been installed for the past 3 days. I assume the issue is multi-display related, however the pc is totally non responsive after the windows logo which suggests something else =/.
I am totally at a loss and need this PC for my work (I work from home in Austria for several companies in other countries), I have been at this since about 5am and 5 hours later there has been no change.

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.

I've been having this issue and have been unable to fix it so far. I can get into my computer in safe mode but have not been able to get on normally without it freezing on the windows logo screen. I tried running various tests which have failed and even reinstalled windows (upgraded so I wouldnt lose data) but that failed as well. System repair doesnt work either. I have no idea what could be wrong.

I bought a new Samsung RC520 laptop. I logged in fine and started to install virus software, applications, windows updates etc. In between all this I had to reboot for the installations to be completed with no problems.
I then installed more window updates (office 2010) followed by a reboot. From this point on wards when I power the laptop on it will get as far as the Windows logo screen and then goes into a black screen. If I leave it for 5 minutes the mouse arrow appears but still black screen.
I tried booting into
Safemode, last know configuration, Enable low-resolution video (640×480)" startup but still get the black screen. Ran the repair from the Windows 7 disc. Can't do a system restore as the laptop is so new it hasn't created one yet, doh! Tried plugging it into an external monitor and still black screen on laptop.
