Since the Question sector is only for ingame questions I though I could ask a question about my computer problem here;

Here goes; I have a problem with my Windows7, when I turn on the computer it gives me blank screen, windows do not want to fully load. So when I start it I have to hit F8 and choose "safe mode" start. And then it turns on and its ok.

So I though its a problem with my windows, might be a bad copy. But then I do a normal restart and it restarts full windows without a problem and works well after I do that... So it just does not want to load windows when I turn it on after it was turned off.

Did anyone have problems with this? What might be the problem? Is there a way to fix this?

How old is the system you installed Windows 7 on?  I know Windows 7 tries to do some spiffy power saving stuff, but it requires a recent BIOS (ie. fairly new motherboard).  First time we tried it at work it did not work because of this and we had to disable the power savings settings....

The problem is that I bought completelly new processor and everything except the monitor. So its all brand new, but I dont think monitor would be the problem, or it might?

The problems started the minute I set it up after buying it.

So what exactly in the power savings should I change?

Mmm, lemme check again, I have them somewhere, we did it like 6 months ago and my memory isn't what it used to be...and tbf it always kinda scked

The ones we changed were under Control Panel->Power

Idk I like Windows 7. I had a problem with my memory when I had windows XP. It said something was wrong with my RAM amount. I was going to send my PC to the HP ppl but then my computer teacher told me to get Windows 7. I did and no stupid issues with memory are coming up. It was basically a software problem. I also had that computer for about a year or so.

I played some games on my friends Acer laptop but idk I dont really like acer. The one I was using was just glitchy and his laptop was like just a lil over a year old. HP is pretty with games like WoW or this game but I would choose an Acer over a Mac anyday. Macs are the worst for gameplay in my opinion.

My computer is well over 5 years old, with newer RAM in it and a graphics card I need to replace, but once I replace that graphics card, it should play all of the games there are out there nowadays. 3.33 Ghz. :)

As I said, Acer ftw. :P 

Give a + if you want an alienware computer like I do. :D

Aisha, good advice immediately above although my approach would be ever so slightly different if I were to jump straight on that.
... If you go with it I would say to do so up to step 6 and then go off and seek the drivers for the card before continueing any further

I advice this as you apparently can restart your system the 2nd time around without the BSoD
.
First try obtain the driver from the PC Manufacturer and if unavailable there then try the card manufacturer, this approach sidesteps some potential issues - it would also help if you downloaded the drivers to a folder that you will easily remember, like c:windows emp and do ensure it is for your version of windows including the bitset ie 32bit 64bit, etc although in most cases both are bundled together.

That said, although the graphics driver could be the problem it could also be caused by various other issues, including your monitor, and one would be in a better position to assist by discussing with you and getting you to eliminate some of the possible causes to help narrow down the possibilities and enable a fix
