Computer letting me log on but then goes to black screen.

[Zinayzen]

I'm not really sure what's wrong with it, but it's annoying and probably not good. It's been having unexpected shutdowns for the last week or so, and now whenever I try to turn it on, it won't let me. I can log in and type in my password, but once I click log in, it loads and then goes to a black screen.

It loads in safe mode just fine, however. Any ideas?

Running Windows 7, HP Probook 4310s.

I tried a clean reboot (made sure NOTHING started on startup) and it's still not working. Now I'm just confused...

boot your windows cd and do a repair, see what happens.

[Zinayzen]

I don't have my boot CD anymore.

-wait- go into your boot options again and see if system restore is in there

[Zinayzen]

I tried to do a system restore in safe mode, but it said system protection was turned off or something. Which is weird.

Trying the reboot sys restore now...

There's a "Directory Services Restore Mode"

*click*

Not even THAT worked.

Might want to just scan for viruses in safe mode and try getting that windows cd

[Zinayzen]

Doing a virus test right now, and my scanner seems to think EVERYTHING is a virus. Like, literally.

This worries me slightly.

Virus scan just finished, nothing was wrong, restarted and got a black screen again. When I get back to my room I'll try to download a new driver, maybe that's the problem.

I ended up having to basically just do a fresh install, which actually worked out great because now my computer is awesome.
