So, did the replacement card work? I'm in the same boat, stuck on the "Starting Windows" screen afer installing the GeForce 8400GS card.
Hello,
using a Gigabyte GeForce 8400GS for about 2 years with no problems (Win7 64b).
Last week windows stopped booting, having this black screen problem. Tested with the HDMI and DVI connections.
I'm almost sure that this happened after a windows automatic update.
Safe mode runs ok but windows can't automatically recover :-(
In safe mode I am not able to run automatic update (i think this is a known behavior in 7).
Already download the drivers from gigabyte.com but didn't solve.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Regards
Solved the problem!
Safe Mode-->Device Manager-->Uninstall 8400gs device
Then installed drivers from manufacturer (Gigabyte) and restarted the pc.
Everything ok until automatic update applied the KB2762895.
New restart and the problem came back!!
I repeated all the process and hidded the KB2762895 update.
Some restarts to test and the problem went away.
Regards
