Windows 7 Crashes on Boot after Shutdown, but fine on Restart
I just installed Windows 7 SP1 x64 and everything seems to be working perfectly except when I shut down my computer. When I reboot the machine, windows loads with out a problem, but when I shutdown the next time I boot up windows crashs on the "Starting Windows" screen. I have found that if I disconnect the power, windows will boot normally (this is the only way to get back into windows after a shutdown).
Everything seems to work fine and I do not believe it is my power supply (have never had this problem with WinXP). I did notice that when windows is working and I do a reboot that memtest shows no problems, but after a shutdown memtest says my ram has many errors. Then if I disconnect the power memtest says the ram is fine again. I have 4x1GB Corsair XMS CM2X1024-6400C4 DDR2 sticks in my motherboard.
Any help would be appreciated.
Computer:
ASUS N2N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
AMD X2 4600+
eVGA geForce 7900GT
ViewSonic VX2235wm-3 driver shows up at ViewSonic VX2235wm-7
Again, what happens is memtest fails, "after a shutdown" in Win7, unless power is disconnected after the shutdown. It is fine after a power disconnect and subsequent restarts.
Thanks in advance,
Tc
