fine no problems while installing and everything. But when everything
finished and the comp restarted and went to start up it would go to the
Windows Loading screen and then it would just hang up on a black screen...now
if i restarted it would as me if i wanted to start up in normal mode or safe
mode and etc..well i tried normal a few times but same thing so i decided to
try safe..and it started up surprisingly..but it took a good 20 mins to start
up. .. so i went back to start up in norm. mode but it would hang up again on
that screen.... can someone tell me wtf is going on cause i tried installing
