Windows 7 startup problem

I've been facing this problem ever since i formatted my computer,, at first it loads normally, then just after the windows starts up (right before the Welcome screen), the screen goes black, the computer lights stay on, as if the computer is running normally, but the screen stays black,, i tried to install the graphics driver, i've also tried formatting the computer a few times and changing from x64bit to x32bit,, but no good,, there are 3 ways i use to make the computer work fine:
1) Safe mode
2) running on low resolution mode
3) Restart on command (restarting the computer instead of shutting it down, or pressing F8 and then pressing Alt + Ctrl + Del)

So can anyone please help?.......

Have you tried previous versions of the driver, or better yet, letting Windows Update install the driver?

no i didnt try installing any old versions,, but i did use windows update to download the driver but it didnt work either...

well,, any other ideas?....

I would try another video card that uses the same drivers. If you tried all of that, and swapped OSes, I would start to point my finger at the card itself.

Here's a little off the wall question...

I am assuming you aren't using a Dual Monitor setup by any chance?

I havent tried that yet,, (cuz its really hard for me to get my hands on an other graphics card),, but i did try using my HDD on my friends computer,, and it worked fine....

I'm not...

It's not a hard drive issue, or else you wouldn't be able to boot without drivers or in safe mode. If you tried your HDD in a friends computer, try the video card from that computer in yours.

The reason I asked is that a similar problem would happen when someone using a Dual Output card was hooked into a different DVI output. The card opts as to which one it considers 'primary' and blanks out the secondary output the way you described. But before it gets to windows, the card outputs to both channels with the same video. But then again, you are seeing it in Safe Mode, so technically that isn't the problem and you aren't using a molex splitter, as the images of the card shows both DVI outputs, so technically, it should have been fine in general.

Although try seeing if you move the video over to the other output of the card and see what happens. Probably same result, but worth a chance to see what happens.
