Hi Everyone,
I have a perplexing problem. I have had 2 machines come into my shop this week with the following problem. Boot seems normal until window splash screen appears. Windows 7 splash screen appears and hangs for a while, (a little longer than normal 2-3 min) then when desktop should load or boot process turns over to operating system the screen goes completely black with a white movable cursor of correct graphics value. (Size). There is no Ctrl-Alt-Del, non-functional (nothing happens), Safe-Mode does the exact same scenario. I have tried all options in safe mode, e.g.: safe mode, last know good configuration, debug, etc. all with the same scenario. I have gone through the repair start up with no results, (not that there ever is) I have used a boot disk to run bootrec /rebuildbcd, bootrec /fixboot, chkdsk /r numerous times with no results. Chkdsk /r should be noted that it scans very fast with no errors. I have checked the dir of c:/ and all data is intact.
I have also mounted the drive with Ubuntu, deleted pending xml update files, updates, and cleaned all temp files, all with no avail. I mounted the drive with Fabs and backed up all data, and used the recovery partition to recover windows which runs beautiful afterwards. I have scanned the drives and backup with Norton, SAS, Malwarebytes etc with nothing really found.
Has anyone run across this issue..???? Please post back if you have run across this; Any help would be greatly appreciated.
