Win 7 too fast? Something is wrong here...
Not sure how this has happened, but when Win 7 starts up - it is flashing, rapidly (the coloured logo) and then when it gets to the log in screen, the little hourglass(well, round thing) is spinning so fast, it is like it is on speed or something.
When I go to type in the password to log in, each letter I type repeats to fill the entire screen log in box. I managed to get into the Win 7 after using the "hold Shift 8sec" thing for the keyboard, but win 7 after that is crazy. Any click I make is like 100 clicks, everything is running at hyper speed. I cannot access my CD rom and clicking on firefox or win explorer flashes rapidly and opens and closes quicker then I can keep up.
I am running a dual boot with win xp (which I am using now), so it seems my keyboard, mouse and motherboard are alright.
I tried a REPAIR with Win 7, and it said there was a START UP error that was fixed, but it is not and things are still running at hyper speed.
This is after an update last night when turning off the computer - it updated automatically.
Any ideas?
Do I need to reformat?
I am going to flash my bios and see if that has any effect on it.
Using Asus M4A785-M mobo, AMD X4 620, XFX 8600 GT video card.
Also I updated the drivers on the video card while in Win 7 today (although it was going crazy) and the keyboard and mouse drivers as well, but no dice.
