    Windows 7 can't get past logo


    Hi guys,

    I'm having a problem sort of relating to BSOD. I honestly wasn't sure where to put this so I put it here. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Problem is that my freshly installed Windows 7 which worked great for a couple of days began getting bluescreens everytime I tried to shutdown or put it into sleep mode. It said something about usbhub.sys. Apparently I haven't installed all my motherboard and graphicscard drivers yet. Problem now is that my windows 7 hangs at the "floating" logo in the beginning. The logo "floats" for a while but then freezes completely and does not advance. Therefore I am unable to get into Windows and install drivers. Safe mode loads up the drivers but also hangs there.

    Thanks in advance!

    Try my best, but as I said previously I'm unable to access my desktop and information I could find from there so it will be limited:

    Specs:

    4 GIG's ram, 3.50 in use
    32bit (x86)
    ASUS M2N-2 Mobo
    ATI Radeon Sapphire -something-

    And yes, it was a clean install (previously had XP), though I have recently restored some things from my external hard drive. System was functioning as it should before the install.

    Things I've tried so far:

    Memory Diagnostics, no success (found no problems)

    Tried to boot in safe-mode, no success
    Repeatedly tried to start the computer over and over again, success (took maybe 10 tries)

    And right after I finish typing this (I'm on another computer) I'll try doing another clean install, seeing it wouldn't cause me much trouble since I barely have anything installed anyway. I'll wait for a few hours though, if you guys could figure something out to save me some trouble.

    PS: The Windows 7 worked fine for a day or two, but then started malfunctioning as explained in my first post.

    in your bios check your SATA controller and set it to IDE replace your SATA also if you have a spare

    Don't change the hard drive type in your bios, it could render the system unbootable. I would try booting into safe mode (press F8 before the windows logo comes up) and do a system restore.

    I agree. I had this problem soon after I installed 7. I quick system restore fixed the problem. Make sure you are installing the correct drivers for either 32 bit or 64 bit. That was where my system froze.

    you need to find the root cause of the issue system restore is not the answer as the problem could reappear if it was caused by something you installed or did wrong

    A system restore might well resolve the issue. If the problem occurs again, Then you will have a tighter timeframe to remember what changes you have made.

    believe what you will but system restore can just as easily compound existing problems

    Okay. Thanks for all the help guys, but I did a clean install from the disk, and the problem still occurs, yet most of the time I'm able to boot my computer normally. Only rarely does it freeze at the logo anymore. Even so, it's still very irritating. Blue screens have apparently gone away, atleast for the moment...
