• WITH video card driver, windows freezes after 10 seconds after the Welcome screen, WITHOUT a driver, it works fine

  Hi guys,.

  I recently had the problem that when I start my computer, it freezes after 10 seconds when I saw the Welcome screen.
  I'm in safe mode, it works perfectly fine. I have uninstall ALL my Nvidia drivers and then restart the computer in normal mode, and then everything works fine. I go to the Nvidia website again, download the latest drivers and the same freezing problem happens again. I also tried with older drivers provided by Nvidia, still the same problem.
  Completely, I formatted my HDD and reinstalled Windows 7. I install drivers Nvidia and the same problem again.
  I have a Nvidia Geforce 250GTS
  The processor is Intel Duo Core converted E6850 (boxed)
  4 GB of Ram DDR2 Ram
  East of card mother ASRock G31M-S

  Everyone knows that the problem is?
  Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English, I tried my best :)

  Hello.

  The video card drivers enable the features of the card to use.  When in safe mode or with no driver installed only the basic functions of the card are used.  If the card is faulty, which is more likely, the defective part of the map has probably come into play with the full drivers installed.  This explains why it works with the Basic setting.

  See you soon.

• Windows 8 does not not to the Welcome screen and the start option advanced

  I met a very strange situation.

  1. I first put my system into hibernation and walked away for a while. Then when I tried to turn on the system, it freezes at the Welcome screen. I tried the strok key (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) but nothing happened. I noticed that the ' FN ' on my laptop works very well! I could turn on and turn off the Wifi with them. But the system has not responded to all other keys and my touch pad.

  2. I tried waiting for the system to respond for a long time. When I noticed that the little light on my laptop showing the status of the HDD stopped flashing, I thought that the system could already went wrong so I hard reboot the system.

  3 then, strange thing that happened:

  (1) first is the logo of my BIOS flashed on the screen and disappeared, which has never happened before.

  (2) then the system told me that he prepares the update. But I remember turning off the automatic update and I had not installed update before the system went wrong. Although I remembered that there is a warning to the login screen that there is some new important updates and I should install them.

  (3) the system is restarted automatically when the increase is 30%. After this reboot, the system maintains hang at as before welcome screen.

  4. I've tried several things and hard reset for many times but nothing has changed.

  (1) I tried to disable the quick start to the BIOS.

  (2) I've tried allowing CSM (disable UEFI in legacy mode)

  (3) I tried to press F9 to start and got into the advanced boot options screen. However, all there hang two! My keyboard and mouse are both inadmissible.

  (4) disconnect all connected to my laptop.

  Then I'm lost. I can't repair or restore my system. I think that my keyboard works fine because I can change the BIOS setting to use. Now, I'm at my wits end with. Can anyone suggest anything?

  Update:

  Turned history that I tried to plug my USB mouse to the laptop. It worked, and when I connect my USB keyboard that works too! But minutes after I logged on successfully to Windows, I got the WORKER_INVALID and restart the system.

  I found this post which has almost exactly the same problem with me (I use an ASUS laptop too!). So I uninstalled my driver warned of the gesture, and then the system has not crashed over.

  But my problem has not been resolved. I downloaded and installed the latest driver of ASUS and always found my touch pad and the keyboard does not. I also realize that even in a different operating system on my system (LinuxMint), my touchpad and keyboard will not work.

  To summarize:

  Now I can use an external device (USB keyboard and mouse). But the built in keyboard and touch pad does not work. The latest driver for ASUS (ASUS Smart gesture) and ASUS ATK Package driver does not work. Strange thing is that when I open the computer, can I use my keyboard and even type in the Linux grub shell. But once the system got loaded, both in Windows and LinuxMint, the keyboard and the touchpad don't work.

  Now, I suspect my BIOS went wrong, but I do not know and do not dare update the BIOS so recklessly. Any ideas?

  Hello

  Thank you for the update on the question and good to hear that your problem is solved and everything works well after the replacement of the motherboard from ASUS. This information will help other members of the community to the same question.

  Hello I have kinda the same problem as above:
  -> Win 7 Pro
  -> Boots of emissions 'Press ctrl + alt + del' screen
  -> When this is pressed, the prompt for the password is not displayed
  -> Impossible to recover from cd

  After working with this problem for some time, I found that when computer shuts properly, the next log does not display the password prompt.  If the computer is turned off via a second 5 press power button, the password prompt is displayed the next time the computer is turned on.

  I had an old image of the operating system on a hard drive (HD replaced with solid state) that I used to "restore".  The question that has happened again a few days late.  I can't keep backup/restore all the time because it is very tedious (there are a lot of changing data on this computer a duty to back up like that all the time isn't a realistic solution)

  It can be the cause of this problem? I want to solve this problem without having to recreate the image and restore new data. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

• Problem installing windows 7. It will not go beyond the Welcome screen.

  Hello people,

  Good so I recently bought an SDS and trying to do a clean install of windows 7 but it doesn't let me get past the Welcome screen. Before even the colored balls appear and it just hangs there. I am really frustrated and tried a few things but nothing I try seems to work.

  Any help would be so appreciated!

  Hello a tad noob.

  It shows the SSD at all? I would check to see that it is indeed to be picked up by the BIOS, and if not, check the cables.
  Sometimes, the Windows installation can chuck a fit when it detects a disk with a sector of boot/MBR not valid and won't install it. To resolve this problem, you can try the following
  1. start Windows 7 disc.
  2. when the Welcome screen is displayed on the Windows installation, press SHIFT + F10, which will display a command prompt.
  3 type 'diskpart' (without the quotes) and press ENTER.
  4 Type "list disk" and press ENTER.
  5. If all goes well, you can see your SSD in the list. You should see a number identifier. Now type "select disk X" (where X is the number of your SSD) and press ENTER.
  6. type 'clean' and press ENTER. He will write an empty MBR, YOU WILL LOSE ANY DATA ON THE SSD if you had anything on it.
  I hope that one of these tips helps you:

• When I connect to Windows 7 after that my laptop has been asleep, the Welcome screen will have 10 minutes to go beyond.

  When I connect to Windows 7 after my laptop has been asleep, the Welcome screen will block for always (10 + minutes). It does not every time, but maybe once all 5 or 6 times and it's happened lately. I can just shut the computer off and the newspaper with no problem after starting it upward, but I'm afraid, there may come a time where it does not work.

  I had this problem since I got my computer 2 months ago so I don't think it's related to what I have installed. Has anyone else encountered this problem and has found a way to fix it? Is this a common bug in all of Windows 7?

  Safe mode - repeatedly, press F8 as you bootup. Another method is to start - type in
  Search-> find MSCONFIG in top box - just right-click on it - RUN AS Admin Startup tab
  -check the Safe Boot (network) APPLY / OK. Don't forget to change it if necessary.

  Try a system restore before what happened: (you can run system restore
