Hello everyone, I'm in a little bit of a pickle. Windows gets stuck at the logo screen and will not advance any further. It worked intermittently for the past month. the only change i made to it was install the HD7970 from a pair of HD7850. So i decided to do a clean install however after the initial load up screen, it ends up in a blank screen and won't advance any further. Any ideas?
Cheers

affirmative. As a sidenote, my mobo will not let me overclock my cpu anymore...probably due to the fact of the multiple forced restarts/shutdowns. My mobo still sees all my drives. A couple of weeks ago, i had to do a chkdsk on my 1Tb drive and it did fix errors. Could my 1Tb drive be the problem?
