Hai! Eerrmm, it's been a pretty disturbing day for me. I came home only to find out that I get a blue screen on startup. But my definition of "startup" is different I think, I get the bluescreen the second I am logged into windows and the hear the "Be-bo-be-bop". I don't think this isn't your usual bsod case because I don't get any kind of error code, perhaps it's my monitor's way of saying it isn't getting a signal. And I'm really scared it's a problem with my video card.

Right now I have an HD 4890 but I bought it 3-4 months ago after my 4870 "died". Back then when I turned the pc on the fans would blare at high speeds and I would be left with a blue screen. And since the card lasted a good 7 months I didn't pursue it and just bought a new one. Anyways today I tried a couple things but got thwarted. I wanted to uninstall my video driver in case it really is a driver problem and reinstall an update, but apparently you can't uninstall display drivers in safe mode. System restore also didn't work in safe mode. I also tried "enable low resolution video" and "Last known good configuration" from advanced boot options (F8). And lastly I tried to do a startup repair from my installation disc and to great surprise the menu didn't even appear, just the vista background and a movable cursor.

So as you can see i've had horrible luck :cry:.
This has to be some kind of driver/video card issue, no? My pc is a power house, it's specs are really high so I really don't know what to think. I'm also a newb to this.

OK so you get a blank "blue" screen at the moment it switches video resolution from vga to hires. Ill bet it is a driver issue. Can you log on as another user? can you boot to dvd without blue screen?

It autologs me straight into my main admin account. I've tried making a new account and checking the "users must enter a user name and password" to make sure it would give me an option, but it didn't. Either that or it logged into the new account I just created and still gives a blue screen.

And yea I can boot to dvd without the blues. I tried doing a startup repair with my installation disc but I only got a vista wallpaper with no menu whatsoever. By the way I use DVI to HDMI in case it helps. There must be some way I can uninstall the display driver in safe mode, no? It has to be a driver issue.
