So I built my new rig about 2 months ago with Windows 7, everything was running fine for the first month.
Then one day I needed to restart my computer for a windows update to complete ( I always put it on sleep mode, never completely shut down). When it rebooted, I saw all of the bios information and then, black screen. No windows logo or loading, it just froze there. I tryed restauring windows 7 with the installation CD, It didn't find any problems.
I then started disconnecting some hardware and found out that when my DVD drive is not connected, Windows boots up fine.
To solve this problem, I then connected it back in and booted in safe mode. At the safe mode loading screen, windows 7 freezes at "disk.sys".
Here are my specs:
Motherboard :Asus P6X58D-E
CPU : Intel i7 930 (D0 revision)
GPU : Nvidia GTX 470
RAM : 2x 4gb OCZ Reaper 1066 mHz
DVD drive : Asus DRW-24B1ST
HDD : Western digital caviar black 1TB
I'm pretty sure this is a windows 7 driver issue, as the problem appeared after a windows update and that every other drive I tested in my system cause this black screen.
If any of you have an answer, or need additionnal informations, please let me know.
P.S : It's been two weeks since I have been actively searching for an answer, posting on this forum is the last resort.
P.P.S : I can use my drive, but I need to connect it after windows starts and detect it with the device manager. However, It does not seem to be able to start any application that needs the DVD in order to start (i.e: GTA 4).
