| 1331486 | 2013-03-06 01:28:00 | wainuitech: I did this: Go to the Services Tab - Down the bottom, tick Hide All Microsoft Services check box. What you should now be left with is a list of programs/Services with unticked check boxes. but the list was all ticked (selected), so, I unselected all & rebooted. but no go - still black screen white arrow head |

| 1331487 | 2013-03-06 01:55:00 | Did you do the first step: On the General Tab - Select Selective Startup - Untick Load Startup Items check box. 4830 The Highlighted area - it MUST be unticked. Then all the other non Microsoft services will be disabled ( or should be) other wise its still loading up the other programs. "if" it has Malware or some other type of infection it usually ( unless its nice) wont show in any of the services, so it may still be running under a normal boot. All this is doing is testing to see if its a program on the PC causing the problem or something in the OS. Since its starting in safe mode, that generally means its a driver or as I Posted before a permission problem. In safe mode Windows only loads in the basic of default drivers and Files needed to run.( in simple terms). Its a case of finding what's causing the problem. |

| 1331488 | 2013-03-06 02:14:00 | CORRECTION TO ABOVE -- Should be Untick load System Services Checkbox ( as Highlighted), NOT Untick Load Startup Items check box. It wont hurt it if you do disable that one, just means it will start in real basic mode with even less running. ( like a mini Safe mode) which wont fix anything. |

| 1331489 | 2013-03-06 02:45:00 | Have you checked the GPU in a separate PC to ensure that the card isnt dead.....safe mode doesnt really use the card, once drivers loaded however a fault can show up! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1331490 | 2013-03-06 02:51:00 | Good suggestion SolMiester wainuitech: I did exactly as you suggested - still boots to black screen white arrow head; have not been able to read & follow through with the links yet - getting there |

| 1331491 | 2013-03-06 03:19:00 | Didn't you say it was a brand new card before ? | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1331492 | 2013-03-06 03:25:00 | Yes - brand spankin new | NZHawk (4093) | ||
| 1331493 | 2013-03-06 03:47:00 | Does it have on-board Graphic as well ? If so remove the card and try them. While not impossible to be a faulty card, generally if they start OK in safe mode its driver related. |
