System hangs after boot

[FiGGiX]

Hello, I'm new here and I have one major problem: my computer seems to really not like to stay stable after booting. This has happened to me around 15 times in the past 2 weeks and I really have no idea what is causing it. Safe mode works (thats how I'm posting this) but normal mode starts up and i see everything that i should. Then, I notice that the CCC icon disappears in the bottom right and when i put my mouse over the icons the first one that i hovered over stays lit and the task bar freezes. I;m not able to get more that 10 seconds of normal running time. The task manager says that the cores are fine and not being over flooded with programs. I have done over clocking but its all taken off now and this isn't a heat problem either. Virus scans have taken away all the bad stuff and I'm still stumped. I'vs also tried fixing Windows with the disk. If i have to re wright my operating system I will but I'd really rather not.

Figgix,

Welcome to SevenForums.

And nice to see that you've filled out your system specs as this help us rule out some possible problems.


Your problem is very probably driver-related.

Do following:
Go to Device Manager.
For your mouse, your touchpad and your graphics card--
Locate in Device Manager,
Right-click on same.
If there is a Disable option, select Disable.
Now if there is a Uninstall option, select Uninstall.

After this, TURN OFF your computer and make sure that there is no power to your computer.

Apply power to your computer, and turn your computer on.

Wiodows will tell you is is finding equipment and installing drivers. Just be patient and let Windows finish doing its thing.

Now you will have a system with the defaul drivers and your system should work.

After you get back to a working system, then go to the manufacturer's site and get their latest and greatest driver if you desire. Personally, I follow the principle that If it works, don't fix it.

Ah yes,
forgot to say how to get to device manager.

WIN key | type DEVMGMT.MSC | ENTER key

WIN key is the one with the wavy flag on it.

It may be driver related but i don't think that that was the problem. I did what you said but i couldn't even get to the download page before it started to hang. I'm starting to think that it may be a Windows Explorer problem.

 

[josef613]

your ram is set back to stock speed, correct?

 

[FiGGiX]

yeah, I've looked into that and tried with only 1 of the 3 stick in (lol) and it sill does the same thing.

 

[josef613]

ok. have you tried to download the drivers for your Graphics Card and try to install it through Safe Mode?

 

[FiGGiX]

When i try to install in safe mode i get an error that says that the detection drivers could not be installed

 

[josef613]

hmm. Your Antivirus detected problems on your drive?
did you scan while in safe mode?
also, try Malwarebyte's Anti Malware and run a scan with that, just to make sure your system is clean

 

[FiGGiX]

I already did and the drives are fine. Spybot picked up a few cookies but thats all.

 

[josef613]

hmm, that is very odd. It sounds like you might need to do a clean install.
but first, try running CCleaner. run it on files and on the registry.
It could just be a registry error

 

[FiGGiX]

Ill try that now.

 

[FiGGiX]

CC Cleaner did take some stuff out but it still hangs. I think that I'm just gonna do a clean install. It may be the easiest thing, and I won't loose much, I have a boot drive.

 

[josef613]

ok, sorry it has to end this way, but if you had infections on the computer, some system files could've been corrupted.
Please tell us how it turns out when you've done a clean install

 

[FiGGiX]

OK, will do. Good bye cruel world!

I'm back with a clean install of Win7 and everything is cool. Thanks for trying to help, you guys are really cool.

You would be surprised how many times a clean install is the easiest fastest way.


Its the only thing I do

Glad to know you are problem free!

 

[karlsnooks]

Glad to hear that the problem is gone.

Many thanks for getting back to us and letting us know that the clean install fixed the problem.
