Freezes during boot phase

MattMJB0188 said:

HI installed Windows 7 RC in May and ever since then sometimes when I load Windows 7 it will freeze during the part when the Windows logo is moving and just hang there. So I restart by pushing the power button. Then I am prompted with Windows Recovery, I use it and it doesn't find any errors or says cannot be repaired if you have attached any new hardware to the computer please remove it or something like that. Just wanna know how to resolve this. Perhaps, it's only my computer. To clarify, it always does this during the windows logo boot. It doesn't happen all the time but enough to bother me and for there to be something wrong.

Dual booting Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 RC both 32bit.

HP M9000t Desktop
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.33 Ghz
3 GB of Ram
Nvidia 8400 GS

Hi and welcome

there are a bunch of things that could cause this. Have you tried safe booting? if successful it could be your vid card. It could also be a power setting, a bios setting, etc.

Let try this first. If you can bootinto windows go into device manager (type deice manager in search) and see if there are any "unknown devices. Second you can go into event viewer (type event viewer in search) and see if there are any errors relating to the problems.

If there are either use the snipping tool (snipping tool in search) to take a snapshot of it and upload it to us.

At least you can start to diagnose the problem

Hope this helps

See now I normally was able to boot perfectly fine, its like only certain times it freezes. Went into device manager and everything looked fine, went into event viewer but maybe you could direct me where to go in there so I could provide a screen shot?

Ok I just need to know how to upload pictures on here.

could this be related to my graphics card?

Yes, Did you check your bios for the HPET option?

Steven

I did, and there is no HPET option, but what I did is reinstall the original driver for my video card which was on a cd. So far so good, but I don't think this problem is resolved.

i 'm having the same problem right now d$#@ u Microsoft

i don't think is the video card

i have a 8400m gs Notebook

and worked just fine a few weeks an now suddenly hangs at Starting Windows

Hi fast4life,

Are you able to get into windows at all - or is it just slow/intermittent?
