My windows 7 gets stuck on the welcome screen everytime. I can only get on through safe mode. Whats causing this? I done that cskdsk /r and it found nothing. Atleast I don't think so (How do I check) I believe it's happening after I install my drivers for my graphics/motherboard (Gigabyte motherboard/nvidia graphics.)

What do I do?

Welcome kurt1212

First help us, by giving us all the specs on your system & hardware.

Hi.

My manufacturer is Gigabyte Technology Co.. LTD, model H55M-USB3.

I am running Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 760 @ 2.80 ghz, 4gb Ram, 64 bit Windows 7 porfessional and a nvidia GTS 450. I installed the drivers that came with the computer (few days old..).

What is your monitor & what is your cable, VGA, DVI, HDMI ?

 

[kurt1212]

VGA Cables. Not sure on the monitor I bought it like 4 years ago. It's a packard bell.

 

[kurt1212]

Ok it crashed on a clean boot =\

Also; it just crashed on a clean boot =\

 

[DocBrown]

From the web link you gave, did this come pre-assembled or did you have to build it ?

It was pre-built. Have you got msn, would make things alot easier for me.

Oh just to add this in; it worked fine for the first few days then It crashed at about 5am (yeah, assassins creed 2 is addictive xD) on the desktop. I went to bed just thinkin 'hell, only a crash.. It'll be fine in the morning' then from their it crashed on the welcome screen and if I got on it would crash soon after.

Thanks for your help btw.

Do you have the Bios setup configured to use onboard VGA or the Nvidia Card ?

 

[gregrocker]

Did you change out drivers given by the Win7 installer, then quickly updated via optional Windows Updates?

This is not XP or Vista. You don't have to import any drivers except those missing or in error in Device Manager after install, optional Windows updates, and enabling auto hardware driver updating here: Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware

Only if performance dictates doing so should you change out display, chipset or other drivers to those found on the Support downloads webpage for your computer or device model.

See if you have a restore point from before you changed out drivers and get back to see how performance holds up. If necessary go all the way back to before updates and programs were installed, or clean reinstall.

Then install your updates in small groups starting with optional Drivers to see how performance holds up after each group. Install programs one-by-one using the same method until you isolate the driver, update or program which is causing the hang.

At the same time I would be checking the logs and standard troubleshooting methods built into Win7 which are laid out here: http://www.sevenforums.com/general-...-lags-every-couple-seconds-2.html#post1131640

I'll check that right now. What one should it be? Also to the guy above, I'll read your one after I try this. Thanks for the help!

 

[DocBrown]

If your VGA cable is pluged into the Nvidia card with the 2 DVI ports also, set the bios to choose the Nvidia card as the primary video source, NOT the onboard VGA port.

 

[kurt1212]

Ok I'm not the greatest computer whiz but the only thing I could find in BIOs was;

'init display first' set to 'PCI' The other option is PEG (EXpress graphics.) The description of it was ' set the fgirst initation of the monitor display from different type of vga card'

edit: tried changing it to peg but no difference.

 

[DocBrown]

That nvidia GTS 450 is a PCI-Express Video Card

 

[kurt1212]

That nvidia GTS 450 is a PCI-Express Video Card

Yeah their is nothing in my bios to decide if it uses vga or nvidia primary?

 

[DocBrown]

That nvidia GTS 450 is a PCI-Express Video Card

Choose the PEG for PCI-Express Graphics
