I don't know how to explain my problem (LOL :) ) i just assembled a new rig last week and this are the specs:

CPU: AMD A10 5800k 4.2 ghz
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-D3H
RAM: G.Skill 8gb 2x4gb 1600
GPU: Sapphire Raddeon 6670 1gb ddr5 (not yet installed due to my problem)
PSU: 600 Watts
HHD: WD blue 2.5 and Seagate 1tb 3.5

I installed my OS (Windows 7 Ultimate) on my 2.5 HDD and my problem is everytime I boot my PC it takes 5 to 10 minutes before it gets to the log in screen because after the windows starting phase it goes to a black screen of death for approximately 6 to 8 minutes before it goes straight to the log in screen can someone help me out of this please. (note:: before it stays to the starting windows for 5 minutes then after a few uses it starting to show the black screen of death).

I'm assuming its from the windows update or in my HDD?

Thanks in advance everyone. :)

Black screen crashes are normally caused by something outwith the Operating Systems control, typically it's a failing/failed power supply.

I would use the new 1TB. Most laptop HD's are only 5400RPM which are a lot slower and it could be dying. If you haven't filled the 1TB yet, try install Windows on itand see if the problem persists. If so, it's something else. If not, it's the 2.5 drive.

I turned on my PC again this time it does not have the black screen of death it hangs after i typed my password in for atleast 5 minutes then a error message will popup after the windows loads.

C:\Windows\system32\USERENV.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Ty Installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
