windows 8 Blank Start-up Animation Screen even after format and troubleshooting

[News Bot]

Hi, so before i explain i just want to eliminate any confusion that this is

NOT the black screen with the cursor hang issue.

 

The "issue" or inconvenience i am having is after POST from my BIOS, i get a completely blank screen as windows boots, then it becomes blank but brighter as the windows 8 log in screen delays to fade it.

 

It isn't the fact that i don't see the nice boot animation, but instead whenever any information needs to be displayed during or prior to boot i won't see it. This can range from start-up repair, checkdsk, and a number of other important messages

or issues. It is impossible to know what my computer is doing, or if it just froze on a black screen because it is always the same.

 

I have a 24" Asus monitor running at 1080p via HDMI from my GeForce GTX 560 ti 1GB graphics card. I know this problem also happens if your resolution is too low, or your computer's graphics card is insufficient, but that clearly is not the problem.

 

This is where it gets weird, i had windows 7 previously for a year and a half roughly, and the boot animation worked perfectly until the last 6 months or so. I searched everywhere to try and troubleshoot the issue, and all the last resorts i found were to just

format and re-install windows. I decided to just wait because i was planning on getting windows 8, and the problem was not a big deal for me.

 

After doing a complete CLEAN install of windows 8 Pro (twice) the issue still persists and it is more annoying than ever. I do not understand, so i finally decided to make a support thread to try and find the cause.

 

I have tried quite a few commands and suggestions from searching previously with no luck, so please let me know if you need any more infomation to find the issue.

 

Thanks, i appreciate any help in advance.
