Slow Logon...Black screen...Icons refresh!! Win7 64BIT

Hi Rich,

Yes I have all the latest drives installed... tested my ram and hard drive and no problems there! I would think it it was a hardware problem I would get some beeps during post boot! My RAM configuration is as follows
Slot 1: 2GB
Slot 2: 2GB
Slot 3: 1GB
Slot 4: 2GB

Cant see this being the problem but I may be wrong.... Windows is seeing the RAM ok and using it fine.... My graphics card seems ok as I play games using it and no crashes or overheating... It may just be Windows buddy...It's always been a buggy OS anyway.... Might go over to Linux or Apple :) Thanks for all your suggestions tho.... more would be welcome as I do like getting to the bottom of a problem.... Oh my PC.... I built it myself so nothing official as in make like (Packard bell) or anything like that :) Just this blank black screen when I log in... and my icons refreshing...the waiting and the overall problem does irritate me

Thanks again

Ok I've done the RAM thing rich...not doing anything any different...still getting the same problem...... Ezio just going though the set up of Soluto...I'll post back results :)

Did you check the RAM for being identical? yes I did I had two identical pieces of RAM the others not the same....anyway I tested it and with just the identical and I still got the same problem

Thanks

Sam

Britton,

Wasn't being funny buddy, just posting results of what I had done further to ideas put forward to me on this group! Sorry if I came across the wrong way mate.

I have tested my hardware
Flashed my BIOS
Checked my RAM
Checked my Hard drive
Changed the RAM about ( using only Identical RAM)..... But my problem persists!

I have a feeling that I have some sort of 0 day root kit or other nasty on my system... I have found two within the last two weeks and they seem to be deep in my system.

I had Zone alarm security suite on my system and it didn't notice a thing!

This week I have used two different antimalware scanners...that being superantispyware and ad aware and they both found different bits of computer low life that have the ability to use some sort of in memory dll injection techniques....!! they can inject themselves into legitimate running processes on my system.. I know a little about exploits as I'm just in the process of learning how to use metasploit for an upcoming course I'm taking....and the good ones are hard to detect..... I think I have something in my system ( a root kit?) and I've done all the basics as in scanning for malware in safe mode to checking my netstat command to see if any unusual outgoing connections are present...but most important keeping my system patched.... I have found my mouse cursor moving around sometimes and the slow logon seems like some sort of process is trying to kick in and start up...once my computer is logged in its all running fine!! after about 3-4 mins..... Anyway hope someone has had the same problems

Thanks for all your input
