Can only log in on safemode, normal log in page flashes black

[dhymel]

When I turn my computer on normally, it gets to the page to enter my password and about 5-10 seconds later while loading, the screen begins blinking black as if it is repeatedly trying to load the user list and password box. I left it like this for hours to see if it would load after a long time and came back to the screen still blinking.

I did a manual restart and was able to start the computer in safemode and this is the only way it will work. My laptop runs on Windows 7 home premium 64 bit.

I have tried updating drivers, clean reboot, and a system restore.

Does anybody have an idea of what's wrong? I can upload a video of what's happening when I startup if needed.


Thank you, DHymel

While running in Safe Mode... did you go to an Administrator Command Prompt and use the command...

scannow /sfc

THAT does a scan of ALL the computer System Files and prompts you when/if it finds faults

Hello,

Boot again to safe mode and we will put your computer into a clean boot state. That will hopefully let you boot into normal mode to troubleshoot the problem.

Follow the steps below to place your computer in “clean boot”
Click the Start orb on your Desktop
Type msconfig in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
On the General tab, click Selective Startup.
Under Selective Startup, click to clear the Load Startup Items check box.
Click the Services tab, click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable All.
Click OK.

When you are prompted, click Restart and let the computer boot in normal mode.

@sammyone

command prompt says "'scannow' is not recognized as an internal or external command."

@Archer, I have tried it before and when it restarts it does the same exact thing.

I believe the command is "sfc /scannow" (without the quotes). Be advised this scan can take quite a while.

 

[dhymel]

@md2lgyk that is in fact the command.

Once it finished it said "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."

Hi, are you using external graphic card or onboard. Please fill your system specs.

If it is external, remove the drivers for it and then try to boot in normal mode. If you are able to login with drivers removed, then you can install the latest one. Or, you can try to connect with your onboard card and check if the issue persist.

If it is onboard, also try to remove the drivers from safe mode and then try to logon.

Keep us posted.

Thank you, DHymel

Try to upgrade the video driver. Upgrade it to "standard-VGA graphics adapter" and test.
Posting the video of what's happening will be helpfull as well
