Hello,

My OS is a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit and my graphics card is Asus en8400gs silent/di/512md2(lp) and everything is working fine on the standard vga graphics driver which is auto installed by Windows, but once I download and install the driver for my graphics card it asks me to restart my PC and once I restart I get stuck at the Starting Windows screen and it never advances (I waited 30 minutes) - I then need to reboot and go into safe mode to uninstall the graphics driver to get into normal windows. As I said, everything works fine after uninstalling the driver but I do not want to use the Standard VGA driver.

I got the driver from the following page and I have tried the newest one, the oldest one and another random one and they all give the same problem. https://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/EN8400GS_SILENTDI512MD2LP/HelpDesk_Download/

The other weird thing is let's say I am stuck at starting windows so I crash it and I go into safe mode and restart once safe mode loads without making any changes then normal Windows will boot normally for that time but once in normal mode and try restarting then I will be stuck at starting windows.

Thanks in advance
