    Same thing on my HP Win7x64 Home Premium Desktop. That's a quirk in Win7, I believe it's a preload of the Windows logo for the GUI, which doesn't run with no gui boot.

    Apparently so, I just disable GUI Boot on my lappy and as you stated, it doesn't occur. When I plug in my external monitor it does. Gotta love M$
