Windows 7 - Display Issue

Whenever I turn on my computer, the windows logo shows up, but after that, the screen stays dark. If I put the computer to sleep with the keyboard and wake it up again, it goes right to the welcome screen. I have XP installed on the same computer, and this problem never occurs when using it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome

Any screen saver? what video card? what else in in startup. Is the video driver installed and working?

After the windows logo, the screen stays dark, no screensaver, nothing. The graphics driver works fine after I put the computer to sleep and wake it back up; something seems to be wrong with the driver on initial bootup. I have a Geforce Go 7900 GS.

Here is the boot log:

What happens if you boot in safe mode?

When I boot in safe mode, everything works just fine

Welcome to seven forums artillerydude: You can try modding your graphics card inf with this program. The fact that it doesn't happen in safe mode leads me to brelive it is driver related. Your card is listed and has had success in the past. Fabe NVIDIA MobilityModder - DriverHeaven.net

Using the driver mod posted didn't fix it

Under system devices, there are three devices that have issues:

• PCI Standard ISA Bridge: Previous instance of driver is still in memory (Code 38)
• Base System Device
• Base System Device

Could these be causing the problem?

Your base system device is your sd card reader and most likely your touch pad. I would suggest you make sure you also have the latest chipset drivers for your system. And are you using the lates 195.62 driver for your card? Lets see what happens once you have fixed the 3 problems listed above then go from their. Fabe
