Wierd Issue

[markbungard]

Ok heres what Im dealing with, hope this is in the right place. Computer starts up fine and all that good stuff, the windows loading screen comes up fine and does its deal, but then it just goes to a black screen then nothing. Just a black screen and just sits there, I let it go for 30 min and nothing. I can go into Safe Mode perfectly fine, boot from the CD, etc. I tried the repair option but it couldnt find any issues.

At first I thought it was my video card messing up, since my comp would freeze randomly and when I would play a game it would freeze up bout 30-40 min in, but im not 100% hence im here.

Any help would be appreciated.

have you tried updating your Graphics card drivers in safe mode?
because it sounds like your driver might be having trouble

 

[markbungard]

yes ive updated them to the newest version, still nothing. But if I go into the Device Manager and disable the video card I get 0 issue with starting up. Im guessing my video card needs replacing.

 

[josef613]

So you disabled it and used onboard video and it works?

I see onboard audio, but not video. It would be nice if you could swap cards with a friend to see if this is the problem.

I just disabled the video card, but dont have onboard video so I have the monitor still plugged into the card. Seems to work except I cant really do anything related to video/gaming, says I dont have a compatible video card. Just ordered a new card so hopefully that fixes the issue.

It does sound like that you have a faulty card, so getting a new one should work.
