Just today, I came back to my computer to find that my HDMI input went blue for no reason! After troubleshooting to no avail, I switched to VGA and was able to get it to work.
Now, after Win7 loads and brings me to the main accounts screen, all I can see is my mouse cursor and nothing else.
I am currently in safe mode and I have rolled back my video drivers, but still am unable to get it to boot regularly.
Did a spybot and ad-aware scan and I don’t think it is a virus.
I would hate to think it is my video card, but I recently (about 3 weeks ago) installed one and was not sure if my 850 watt power supply was enough to support 2 ATI 5850s. I don’t think that is the issue either, but perhaps my PSU finally had enough…
Anyways, I am just sitting here trying to figure out what to do… Thankfully I can move my entire computer to a backup drive if need be, but I would like to avoid that.
Also, there are no backups or restore points… apparently that is not an automatically enabled feature on Win7.
Any help is appreciated.
