Windows 7 not booting
I seem to have a curious problem with Windows 7. I'm running it on a machine with the following spec:
- Intel Pentium 4 2.93GHz
- 2Gb RAM
- 80b Primary SATA HDD & 500Gb Secondary SATA HDD
- NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
I can install Windows 7 without problems - however after updating Windows 7 refuses to boot - I just get a black screen. I've tried getting W7 to boot under Safe Mode, that just hangs on the "Please Wait" screen.
Initially I thought this may be a problem with the BIOS being out of date - so I reinstalled W7 and flashed the BIOS (at the same time 3 updates installed). On this occasion after the OS booted fine. However after more updates, the same thing happens again.
Any ideas how to resolve this? I can't understand why it would freeze on the loading screen (or not even trying to load anything via Safe Mode). Any help would be greatly appreciated!
