Computer keeps freezing on startup.

[Trey813]

Well here is the problem I am having. When i start my computer it turns on fine but once i hit the
start windows normally button it goes to the starting windows screen but never goes to my user accounts screen because its freezing. So I have tried a number of things I have did safe mode and safe mode with networking this works but after 10 minutes my computer freezes up and I cant do anything but restart my computer and go through the same thing over and over again. I looked up possible causes and saw something that said it might be outdated drivers but I dont know where to find the correct driver and I dont want to mess my computer up anymore than what its is. If anyone can please help!!

Computer specs:

Gtx 650 ti ssc 2gb
Asrock 990fx extreme3
1tb seagate harddrive
8gb ram
amd 8320 8-core

Ok maybe you can try a system restore to when it wasn't happening. Just follow http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html and pick a date that it was not happening on

Well i tried that and it continues to freeze up on me for some reason i just put this pc together less 6 hours ago and it worked fine when i installed windows but when i installed my motherboard drivers thats when the freezing started. could i have installed my drivers wrong or do i have a faulty part.

 

[benjy206]

Oh ok so. Didn't know that. Maybe it could be a driver issue? Did you use the drivers that came with the hardware on a disk?

yes i used the drivers that came with the disk but i figured they were outdated but i just wanted to have some drivers on for my motherboard til i downloaded the up to date drivers but i never got a chance due to the freezing promblem

 

[benjy206]

Ok since it only occured when you installed these drivers, you should downlaod up to date drivers of the manufactors website. Even if you have a spare pc go to that and download them there and just save them on a usb.

ok so once i download the driver onto the usb how to i install them to my mother board

Ok you would need to go to device manager. To get there goto start-right click computer- manage - device manager - then under each device you right click the device and click update driver and point the path towards the usb stick.

there are alot of devices there to go thourgh one by one do you know the one just for the motherboard? also while i was going through them it froze once again.

 

[benjy206]

Ok well what driver did you download? The chipset are you talking about?

 

[Trey813]

Ok well what driver did you download? The chipset are you talking about?

I went to asrock website searched for my motherboard which is the 990fx extreme3 went to the tab that said download and it asked what os did i have i hit wwin 7 64bit and it gave me driver downloads and utilities. i downloaded the first one in the driver section which was 190 mbs. Is that what you wanted me to do

 

[benjy206]

Well see you said that you installed drivers for your hardware. What drivers did you install of the disc? Are you using onboaard graphics or your own graphics card? I need to know what you exactly what you installed

I have my on graphics card which is posted above. The drivers i used for my motherboard where from the disc it came with. i went to the manufracture website like you said and downloaded the updated drivers like you said to do and put it on my usb. i have different drivers for my graphics card which i have not installed yet because of the freezing issue. I am only working on the drivers for my motherboard hopefully that clears things up

Well since you only installed the Operating system. It would be better just to do a clean install? That way with out the driver disk you can just do them each one at a time? Or we could just go through them one by one.

so after messing around with and doing the things you said it finally started to boot up properly. But after about 5 to 10 minutes later while im on the desktop it freezes once again. Also in that time I can get the drivers installed but I dont know if that is the correct drivers to use so im gonna hold off on downloading them to confirm with you here is a link ASRock > 990FX Extreme3 . thats to the website and to my motherboard so if these are the correct driver i will download them.

 

[benjy206]

Yes they are the correct driver's for your motherboard the link I gave you earlier also is the same driver's to the motherboard
