dansket Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Build 10074 and 10061. During boot, just after the Windows Logo splash screen with the circular catepiller icons, there is a black screen with mouse pointer that persists for 50-52 seconds?? Then the screen displays date and time with background image. Click and windows sign-on screen. Then successfully login to windows desktop. This happens on 3 different pcs (two different motherboards), all with radeon video cards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggendrop Veteran Posted May 6, 2015 Veteran Share Posted May 6, 2015 I had a similar problem and it took over a minute to load. Ended up being the video driver that the os supplied. I reinstalled the proper ATI driver for my system with catalyst and it fixed everything. I did notice an error screen after this though and I had to disable ati catalyst from starting on startup and everything has been great since. Don't know if it will help you but thought I would share my adventure...Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansket Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 The bigger question is what is happening during this 50 seconds. Which ATI driver did you use to resolve your problem? Is it downloadable from the AMD website? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggendrop Veteran Posted May 7, 2015 Veteran Share Posted May 7, 2015 The bigger question is what is happening during this 50 seconds. Which ATI driver did you use to resolve your problem? Is it downloadable from the AMD website? Thanks. The driver I got was from Gateway and I also saw the latest one (same version) on the AMD support (drivers/downloads) page. I had assumed it was the default driver problem as the system was trying to initialize (hard drive activity through the blank period). Had same problem with Win 8X. Using safe mode with reduced resolution initialized quicker which helped to fault find the issue with mine. I initially had to get the proper video adapter number which was used on my machine and ensure right one used, ie 32 or 64 dependent on the os "now" on it or a prior MS os with same 32 or 64.Hope it helps... http://support.amd.com/en-us/download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know the series ,ie built in or card and the original software os with type, ie 32 or 64 for the software you have in it now, it should work. The driver I put in works for Vista,7,8 and 10. later...cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackaluichi Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I had that exact problem with the latest drivers provided through Windows Update for my Radeon R9 290X. I had to roll back to a previous driver (in my case, Omega 14.12), and then I used a script to prevent Windows Update from overriding them. You can find more information here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_update/how-to-block-automatic-reinstall-of-a-driver-from/bff07224-4ce2-4b42-ab29-68c3a305d730 Cheers!

KiHu Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 At least you get the screen back, with the Windows 10 Beta Nvidia Drivers if you run multimonitors you might have the fortune of runnign into an issue where all screens are grey and you will have to unplug a screen and reboot. No way around it. Gg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
