aight cool..well first of all you can see my specs in the signature...i installed a clean install of vistax64 about 4 weeks ago when i built my computer. like many people the control panel isnt showing up..and i believe i got a hotfix for this. the problem though is that when the bootup screen comes it freezes...heard some people got this problem...normally a restart will fix this...now the weird part is though, it wont even go to the boot screen now..its a black screen..i updated my bios and everything...so yeah..
