    Hi

    I recently rebuilt my desktop computer (Asus M4A79 Deluxe Series Motherboard) I have installed Windows 7 (64 Bit). When I start up the computer all is well until after the 'Windows starting' logo appears. When that disappears I am left with a blank screen for about ten minutes before windows starts properly. All then works just fine.

    Any ideas

    Many thanks

    Hi

    Its possible that this sis driver or software related, if you boot into Safe Mode (F8 at boot) does your PC boot ok?


    What you could try is to disable all startups using msconfig (click start and type msconfig into the start search box and hit enter, then click the startup tab and click disable all) then reboot and does your PC boot OK, if so enable one at a time until you find the possible culprit and let us know which it is.


    In Device Manager do you have any yellow ! marks by any devices? if so what?
    Also are all your Drivers, Windows 7 ones, or did you have to install any XP or Vista drivers to get any devices working?
