Boot Problem
in [Computers]
|
From: The Old Bloke on 23 Mar 2010 09:32 I am running Win 7 64bit Ultimate Starting 2 days ago my PC won't boot properly. It reads the BIOS, then I get the colourful windows loading logo, and then when I would get the logon screen, I just get a black screen, with my (wireless) mouse pointer, but no (wireless) keyboard access. All I can do is to power down. Booting into safe mode is fine. If I then run System restore, and after a long time I get the message that SR has failed because of my antivirus, which isn't loaded in safe mode.The message also says that no files were changed by SR. However after every failed SR the PC boots normally, but at the very next reboot it fails again! Bizarre. I have also found that if I go into safe boot, and uninstall *any* programme, the PC will boot normally, but subsequent reboots fail. This is again bizarre. The event log shows numerous errors, such as "The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: discache MpFilter SaibVdAd64 spldr vpcvmm Wanarpv6" However on each failure the errors vary a lot. After a failure to boot, several reboot tries later the PC *may* occasionally boot. Before the problem developed I had not installed any new devices, drivers or apps, but maybe some auto updates could have happened. I have extensively checked for viruses, malware, etc. Regards Doug

I have seen issues like that when the AV (especially Internet Security Packages) damage the Winsock entries and create problems with booting, Try the following from an administrator command prompt netsh int ip reset Which will reset your TCP/IP stack and clean out any problems another to try is netsh winsock reset or netsh winsock reset proxy. You need to restart after them to get things going again.

Got me pulling out whats left of my hair. The damn thing would boot up to the "Welcome" screen then go blank, and stop there. Worked OK in safe mode. (Window$ XP). I reloaded Window$, I downloaded anti this that and whatever else via another machine and tried you name it - still nothing! Eventually by shear chance, I found the fault - the monitor plug on the back of the PC was not engaged fully. It had somehow become partially disslodged. Inserting it properly cured the problem - two days of frustration!!
