After updating windows 7 to sp1 i encountered some problems during the restart/configuring stages. On the 3/3 step my computer started to show randomly colored lines and after that it was stuck on the black "starting windows" pre-loggin screen no matter how many times i try to restart it. Although the corrupted color lines are gone, its now only showing the black screen with the windows flag.
I've tried:
* removing the boot hdd - no changes
* removing all sata connected devices - no changes
* tried with another gpu - no changes
* tried with a different set of dimms - no changes
* tried the 2. Bios on my mb - still no changes.
* leaving the system without power for a while - no changes
I've tried everything that comes to mind except a bios flash which i can't perform right now since i dont have a secondary computer available.
Keep in mind that the windows screen shows up even without the harddrive connected, different gpu and ram. I'm pretty sure this is related somehow to the motherboard since it and the cpu are the only components that hasn't been swaped out during troubleshooting.
My specs are:
Asus rampage extreme IV black edition
Intel i7 4930k
Gigabyte gt 780 ti windforce
Samsung evo 840 ssd
Corsair vengance 1866mhz 16gb ddr
