View 9 RepliesOkay so lately I've noticed that my PC isn't displaying the BIOS splash screen anymore and skips straight to the Windows login screen.It didn't really bother me until today when I wanted to boot into Ubuntu and I couldn't select which OS I wanted to use.I'm pretty sure the problem isn't the BIOS itself since I unplugged all the peripherals except the speakers, removed all the RAM and the BIOS did beep repeatedly. And given enough time, I can boot into windows (and only windows ).Apparently people have had this problem before and all the solutions I've read such as "Press 'del' to go into your BIOS!" really doesn't help since I can't see anything in my BIOS menu.The only solution that made sense to me was that my CMOS battery could be dying. I haven't changed my rig since I built it in 2009. The only significant event that happened recently might be that Windows updated itself.
-PC doesn't display BIOS splash screen
-Can't see messages displayed by system
-When windows does bootup, everything runs just fine
-Haven't changed rig for ~3 years
We just got a new HP Pavilion p6-2220t with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. The setup started out fine, booted/rebooted several times - no problems. Then the updates started coming in and after one of them (have not been able to determine which one) the HP splash screen does not come up any more, it starts to boot, then the Windows Boot Manager comes up and we need to select "Windows 7", (no other OS installed) a simple "enter" does the trick and everything boots up and runs like it's supposed to. I have tried to set the boot time to less than 30 seconds, but the screen just sits there until I press enter. I have run bootrec /fixmbr several times, no change. I have gone through all the diagnostics offered, even run sfc /scannow, everything comes up ok. - If I press ESC when I am on the Boot Manager screen it starts to boot but then gets stuck in a loop which does not stop. I have to shut down with the power button. So I don't press ESC again, but those two actions might be related. -- It bugs me when things aren't running the way they are supposed to, so I kept reading, searching. I thought it might be a software conflict so I reformatted and started from scratch - same results

Up untill now there I never had a problem, the monitor would stay off untill Windows started loading and then it would switch on.Last night Tune up Utilities asked me to do a Disk Check and I clicked on next time I boot.Now the PC won't go into Windows and I can't see what happening.

But i noticed when i boot up, it bypasses the Bios boot screen and goes directly to windows to login my password. It used to have an Alienware wallpaper background and you were able to see where it says hit f2 etc for boot setup. I no longer see that. I checked msconfig and the no gui is not checked off. i checked it and then re-checked it, no luck.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIt boots fine but when it gets to the windows 7 splash screen the log in box takes up to 20 mins to display. When it does display I can log in and the computer runs fine.I have tried:
- virus scan which is clean
- malwarebytes comes up with nothing
- restoring to before the problem started
But, the problems remains - up to 20 mins for the log in to appear. It is almost as if it forgets to put it up.
I just wanted to throw this out there. The animation when windows is loading is the best loading screen for any OS I've seen. Anyone else have any thoughts on that part of the boot process?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got Windows 7 Pro 32 bit as a early Christmas gift and was excited to try the new OS. I have been running XP pro for years and my current system works great. I backed up my files and tried to load it on a RAID 0 configuration. It started just fine then it got to the splash screen and froze. After about ten minutes I realized this was not normal so I ejected the disk and it moved to the next screen which is the windows wallpaper.
It said windows is “starting up” and froze again and continued to freeze throughout the process. I did a custom install. I repeated the process until it started to expand the files then nothing. It said it couldn’t recognize my hard drives. I deleted all raid partitions and rebuilt the raid array. I tried to reload it again and still nothing. I reloaded XP then ran the installation disk. It loaded up Windows 7and after several ejects Windows 7 was running. I tried to load Office 07 and it wouldn’t load. The CD sounded like it was working but it seemed like the disk could not be recognized.
I downloaded all the updates and correct drivers and Office 07 still wouldn’t load. After several hours and repeated attempts to get it working right, it crashed. I have not been able to get it to work at all. I tried again to load Windows 7 but I gave up thinking I am missing something but I don’t know what. I have since loaded XP back up and I am looking for any help at all as to what the problem might be. I ran the advisor and it said my system can run Windows 7. The Mobo disk has an updater but there were no new bios files available. I am stuck. My comp specs are below, maybe it might shed some light on the problem. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Before this happened, I was having problems with my graphics drivers repeatedly crashing. I updated to the latest NVIDIA drivers and upon restarting the computer the screen had a shade of pink. I started to do a restore and when the computer rebooted, the screen went black after the splash screen with nothing but the mouse pointer.I went in to my UEFI click bios and ran a memory test which said the memory was fine. I tested a Visiontek Radeon 5750 which returned the same result, a black screen after the splash screen.The only thing that I can conclude is that there is problem with the operating system. I may however, be very wrong.Does this sound like an operating system error? If it is, I can get Windows 7 professional upgrade for $65 because I am a student. If this is not an operating system error

View 5 Replies View RelatedBeen trying to fix this for hours now. So, this morning I was gaming a bit, playing Cryostasis which I got for super cheap from the sale on Steam. You can see my system specs in my signature. You'll notice that I have a PhysX card running with ATI. The game itself has been having some freezing issues, I looked online and read there was PhysX freezes but the 1.1 patch was supposed to fix it, and that's the version from Steam. So anyway, it was running ok for a while and then the game froze up during one of the "dream sequences". I had no option but to do a hard reboot (previous freezes allowed me to ctrl+alt+del and close it). After this, I saw the windows splash/loading screen, and then the screen goes blank at the login screen. I don't see anything but I hear the chime sound. I can even login but again no video signal - the monitor can't find an input.
I rebooted into safe mode and it worked. I then ran Driver Sweeper and deleted all my ATI, Nvidia, and PhysX drivers completely. After that, I rebooted and I can get into windows with a normal login, but not again after that as it will automatically install some ATI drivers. I've treid reinstalling 10.6 and 10.5 multiple times but after install it always goes to blank screen at login. It certainly seems like a driver issue, but the drivers have been working fine for a couple months. One thing I noticed is that now when I run the Catalyst driver installs, it fails at the end trying to do the "Drag and Drop Transcoding" which I know is a Windows feature so maybe that's a part of the problem.
I've taken out my Nvidia card completely to rule out incompatibility issues. I've taken off the Crossfire bridge and even removed the 2nd card. As I stated, I've completely deleted everything relating to ATI and Nvidia and tried a fresh driver install of the ATI drivers with no luck.
I've read of people getting the blank screen after login but mine is different as it's occurring before I'm able to see the login page. I found one response where it appears the poster had the exact same issue as me and nothing could fix it, except for a system restore... Somehow, however, I don't have any restore points... I've seen it say it was creating restore points (such as before a windows update) but when I went deeper into the options I found that there was 0HDD space allotted so it probably tried to make a point then didn't save anything (I've now allotted space).
Seems like the only option I have right now is to do a reinstall of Win 7 and hopefully be able to copy over most of my files... although anything requiring an install is a huge pain in the butt since simply copying won't actually install it.
So basically over the weekend I shut my computer down because I was not going to be home. On sunday I go to turn my computer on and it hangs at the windows logo splash screen after POST. So I grab my laptop and start researching. I am able to get into safe mode with out any trouble only when I start windows normally do I run into problems. So here is what i have tried and with no success. Start up repair w/ and w/out disc, system restore, I have reinstalled windows 3 times, with 2 different versions, pro and ultimate and on first reboot I have the same problem. I flashed my bios about a year ago and have had minor issues since then that were all fixed by using krndbg and windows symbols server as a reference...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI share my computer with my father in order to pay off a debt I owe to him, and when I arrived home in the afternoon I was greeted by him, informing me that my computer wouldn't turn on. Generally this would simply be a random issue, or perhaps he turned off the computer and thought it was in sleep (though he's smart enough to tell the difference.). This time, however, was different.I turned the computer on, and to my horror the splash screen shows and then the computer hangs. The only responsive key is Tab, which then shows me the detailed POST description. It tests my memory and shows my processor, etc as well as my drives, but after that it freezes at 'Looking for IDE drives...'. At that point, the only responsive (often it isn't responsive either) key is Delete, and that simply shows a 'prepare to enter Setup' message, and proceeds to do nothing else.I have already tried draining my capacitors (turning my PSU off and holding down the power button), removing and replacing my CMOS battery, continually restarting it, pressing multiple buttons, removing and then putting back my GPU (had to in order to expose my battery) as well as disconnecting and then reconnecting my two drives. I've considered reseating my RAM, but in my past experience doing so has done nothing for previous, similar problems.Both of us have done absolutely nothing that could have damaged the BIOS.

i have important files on my system, so want to repair the install, as opposed to restoring from an image, or reinstalling.i have Windows 7 x64 on a single raid disk (single because is already setup when i buy more disks). this system has been operation for more than 6 months. Virus maybe i had avg=-x64 free, it had some errors last week(first time i have ever seen this), so i removed it, and installed m$security essentials. after a few days i got a virus and or trojan, maybe vundo, from running a program fix that was cleverly disguised. i tried scanning with MSE to no avail. so i removed the deadbeat program and reinstalled avg-x64 free.in the recent past, the pc started to exihibit some symptoms. after boot, and after splash screen, it would stay on a black screen for about 30 seconds while hard drive thrashed incessantly, then the login screen would finally come up. this is the main symptom that bugged me enough to run the scans. i also had checked the windows firewall, and i cant get into that, its kicking back errors and wont let me access some stuff across my network. looks like the virus had a field day.
so after putting back on avg-x64 free, i updated and ran scan, and installed/updated malwarebytes and ran scan. it found stuff, i removed them, restarted. i thought teh system was clean eventhough still thrashing like mad, the next day i ran them again it found more stuff, and removed them. a couple of them were registry entries, a couple of them were just game files found bad. nothing really in the system directory which you would expect to see with a virus. one of the things i noted to be the virus was a file called mse or msde in the user appdata temp folder, then onto the system32 or syswow64 folder. no boot now on the last run of the virus scan, it rebooted, but it wont make it past the splash screen. this is where i am stuck.what i have done i have ran system repair several times, and i manually ran sfc /scannow a couple times, and chkdsk /f /x. i started to run kaspersky 10, but i saw that it has problems completely manglind raid arrays, so i avoided that. i have tried to start in safe mode several times, same symptom after splash screen goes black, then reboots. i have tried booting in logging mode,i have tried booting in command prompt, the last driver is loads is ahcix64s.sys, it thrashes for a bit, then restarts,i have tried to load last known good configuration, and it restarts after splash screen goes black as well. one more thing, i have system restore turned off since im a virus remover kind of guy, not a m$ dependent kind of guy, but i think this has shown that system restore is needed on Windows 7 more than xp.
im having a problem with win 7 booting it get stuck on splash screen and when im trying to repair in the recovery mode it tells me that not all problems could be fixed and gives me these details: [code] i can boot with safe mode most of the times, some times it gives me blue screen and restart ,but if i unplug and then plug the power cable it works in safe mode.

About week ago my computer started freezing and rebooting and then hangs at bios splash screen (will stay there with nothing happening for hours if u let it) until you reboot it than it comes back fine until it does it again. The only thing I noticed is if the machine is off for a while it takes a lot longer for it to happen, If you restart it it last around 15 -20 mins.
1) Updated all drivers and checked device manger for errors.
2) checked and defragged drive C: drive (ssd)
3) checked both for events and dmp files (nothing ) made sure reporting was on
3) Ran windows mem check froze twice while testing once with both strips and once with only one strip installed
4) replaced ram

I'm not sure of the system specs of the computer in question.I bought it cheap off of a friend and he's doesn't remember the specs and I can't get into it to check them.When I start up the computer it loads with a new loadup screen (did not happen till after the problems started). The screen says Asus Motherboard A8N-SLI Deluxe. It then goes to a screen that shows PCI device listing.I'm not sure what it all is for.At the bottom it says "A disk read error has occurred" "Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.Occasionally it skips this screen and instead goes to the windows 7 Splash screen, but regardless of which it goes to I can't do anything else except restart the computer.When I press F8, F10 or F11 it goes to either RAID Utility or Setup Utility and then I can't get any further with it without restarting and the aforementioned problems continue. I'm fairly certain it's a virus, my computer was showing signs of a virus in the days leading up to this problem but as Malwarebytes failed to show any problems with the computer when I scanned it I ignored the problems. I'm also aware that all I may be able to do is wipe the harddrive, and I'm fine with that.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a 2 month old Lenovo with Windows 7 Home Premuim. When the Windows Splash screen comes up, the PC Freezes. After about an hour i can login with no issues, but the event viewer shows many errors. the error is:

I can also boot into Safe Mode just fine immediately after the freeze.
When I get to the splash screen it just blinks. It won't boot. I've tried going into the safe mode by pressing F8 at the previous screen. I've tried booting from a start disk. It won't go into the advanced boot options, and booting from a disk made no difference. This has happened before but I was able to get in through safe mode. Once I get in I can do a system restore and it will work for a while. How can I get in to my machine?
