We used an image of several different types of computers (Dell GX270, Dell GX280, etc) With a fresh Windows 7 install to upgrade our entire network.
Use used Ghost to push the images out, one classroom at a time. For about 3 days, everything was fine (mostly, but that is another post – we have extremely slow/unresponsive INTERNET, network speed is fine), but now we are experiencing intermittant KSOD – a black screen after startup with the mouse cursor.
Here is the process:
Cold/warm boot doesn’t matter, the PC starts, POSTS, the shows the Windows 7 startup logo. Then it goes to black screen with a mouse. You can move the mouse, but CTRL-ALT-DEL/SHIFT/ESC does nothing. No login, no task manager, nothing on the screen. Safe Mode – same thing.
So far, we have been re-imaging the affected machines, but this is highly impractical as we have over 300 machines! As time goes on, each machine KSODS.
What I have tried:
Disabling all GPOs
Disabling Startup scripts
Uninstalling Silverlight
Unplugging network cable/restarting
Pretty much everything that has been found in a Google search.
Please – ANY ideas?
