[seanmoha]

Helo All, and thank you in advance!I've been going on through this forum trying to figure out why my computer stays stuck on the welcome screen once I type in my admin. password. My computer isn't frozen,as the mouse and the spinning circle are active. I'm not sure what to do. The last time I used my computer was yesterday to do pc tuneup using cap pc tune up software, I used it once every week and never had any problems . I've had Windows 7 Pro installed for maybe 10ish months now and have never encountered this problem.Please help!Specs:ASUS P6T Motherboard - LGA 1366, Intel X58Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64BitIntel Core i7 960 ProcessorKingston HyperX 12GB DDR3 1333MHz MemoryWD Caviar 500GB Serial ATA HD 7200/32MB/SATA-3GEVGA 512-P3-1154-TR GeForce GTS 250 Video Card - 512MB DDR3LG GH22NS50AUAU DVD Writer - DVD+R 22x, DVD+RW 8X, DVD-RW 6x, DVD-RAM 12

Please forgive me as you can tell that I'm not too tech savvy, I'm trying to do that but all I get is a black screen and nothing is happening.

Restart the PC and immediately start tapping the F8 hot-key to see if you get this "Repair ... " in this screen below, if you do you may be able to start the system restore from there.

OK let's try this; restart the PC and immediately start tapping the space bar to get here, when there select the F8 option to get to the screen I posted above to see if you get the "Repair ... " option.

BFK, I did that and all I got is a blank screen.Thanks Kword88

 

[scrooge]

not sure you understand me . when booting up go to your bios and in the memory settings check and see if it's 1t or 2t in the command rate. if it's 1t change it to 2t and see if that helps.

You may have bricked the system, do you have a Windows 7 installation DVD to do a repair install with, have a look at this tutorial at the link below.

How to Do a Repair Install to Fix Windows 7

If you create a recovery DVD, you may be able to boot to recovery options
Create Recovery DVD. It may be necessary to use another computer to complete this portion of the repair.
The Windows 7 recovery disk, which you have just created, is used to boot Seven when it won't boot to reach the
System Recovery Options
If necessary boot the Recovery CD to run Startup Repair which will allow you to reach System Restore or System File Checker, which will allow you to fix any corruption.
If Windows still will not start, try booting into Safe Mode to run sfc /scannow to repair System files.



Below is a bulletin distributed by MS to explain the start up procedure when Windows will not boot. Startup Repair

Problems starting up a PC can be tricky to fix, since Windows hasn’t had a chance to load its arsenal of troubleshooting tools. Some people simply give up and reinstall Windows.
Startup Repair is designed to prevent a time-consuming reinstallation by diagnosing and repairing problems that prevent Windows from booting. Introduced in Windows Vista, Startup Repair is even easier to use because Windows 7 now installs it on your hard drive for you.
