I've been getting these black screens at startups and the only thing I can do is move my cursor. It lasts for about 30 seconds then it loads normally. I've tried doing a system restore but it's still there and even reinstalling my drivers. I did a full Malwarebyte and Anti-virus scan and detected nothing. Please help. I'm thinking about reinstalling windows but that would have to be my last option.
Are you getting any BSOD's ?
Did you change anything to your system before this started to happen?
Drivers, Hardware, software?
No I didn't get a BSOD. I haven't changed any of those either.
No, the black screen doesn't show up in Safe Mode.
Okay so its possible this is driver related, please run Driver Verifier.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
InformationDriver Verifier runs in the background, "testing" drivers for bugs. If it finds one, a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) will result; the corresponding dump file will hopefully show the faulty driver.
