black screen after first setup restart
Setup (win7 ultimate 64bit) went fine until its first restart, then it took 10 minutes or so from bios to black screen to login.
After login, everything is fine and smooth. Installed latest nvidia driver for 8800gt win7 64bit, installed antivirus and spybot s&d. restarted.
Again with the 10-minute-black screen. I can't have this.
I have winxp 32bit on the same hard drive but different partition.
I use two monitors but tried using just one and still have the same problem.
I have updated my bios (gigabyte motherboard), still have the same problem.
What is causing this problem? I'm not willing to upgrade/downgrade/change video card, motherboard, cpu or hard drives. Does not make any sense. I only want to try win7 since it's "faster" but I'm perfectly content with winxp sp3. Why is winxp not having this problem? geez.
Can anyone help or should I just give up on win7?
Thanks,
