Hey, I had this problem a while back and hopefully finally figured it out. My computer was freezing at the windows splash screen, the loading bar would either stop completely or load very slowly.
If I got it to boot through power cycling and started playing a game or whatever, sometimes the screen would go completely pink or some other color. I would still be able to hear music of what have you through my headset.
I could boot into safe mode, so from what people tell me, it seems to be a video card driver issue. Now I completely removed all the drivers through device manager and used driver cleaner in safe mode to get rid of anything that was missed in the uninstall.
After that it booted fine, and previously before removing the drivers I downloaded the updated ones for the video card from their website and updated the drivers in a clean install.
But alas, it still freezes at the windows splash screen. So I am wondering now, what can I do. It seems to be the video card drivers; I don't know if I need a new video card now or if I can circumvent this issue with some other drivers.
Anyways, thanks.
