First time running, hit a snag.

<< < (2/2)

FmlWin10:
I'll definitely poke around device manager for that one if I see it. I hadn't seen any yellows, but I did notice a couple of "generic" or unidentified devices but they're probably my USB hub's devices (disconnected during troubleshooting).

PC's been 'restarting' for the past little while. Fingers crossed. I am hopeful.

Boggin:
You'll find that one in System devices along with the Chipset drivers.

Clicking on View/Show hidden devices will show more.

When you have start up problems then it's best to disconnect any external devices to see if that resolves.

You can uninstall those generic and unknown devices as they will reinstate for whatever you plug in.

Checking Device Manager as you plug in each new device should identify what is what.

Are you now able to get into Safe Mode through the SHIFT + Restart method ?

AFAIK only a repair install will resolve that.

This answers why you were getting the invalid picture error and can be found in the forum's Frequently Asked Questions section.

Q: I get an "Invalid Picture" error
A: The invalid picture error is often due to not enough room in your Windows temporary folder. Press the Windows Key + R and type in %temp%. Press CTRL + A to highlight all of the files in the Temp folder and press the Delete key.

Once you have highlighted them you can also press CTRL and d together to delete them.

A build up of temp files in that folder can also impact performance.
