Vista hang at boot
Hi, I recently built myself a PC and installed Vista on it. Everything worked fine. Then i ended up doing a full re-format and re-install. Ever since then Vista has been hanging at boot. Before the loading bar would come and go and then the vista symbol would pop up make the boot noise and i could log in, this all took under 30 seconds. Now it hangs on a black screen after the loading bar, my monitor loses signal (it goes to sleep) and then my mouse and keyboard flash and the monitor comes back on showing a cursor, before turning to the vista symbol and i log in again fine. This all takes about 1-2 minutes. I've checked the event viewer log and it comes up with multiple event id: 100 and 101. It says something is causing Vista to boot slow, i have no idea what this could be as my configuration is the same. It seems like the PC is searching for something or trying to perform an operation which eventually times out and the boot continues as normal. Any ideas? Specs: Vista Home 64 bit, Core2Duo E8400, 4GB RAM, MSI4850, GA-EP45-DSR -- dawnthief |
