I have had my g74sx for a few months now but for some reason the past few weeks I have been getting a black screen after the windows logo and before the welcome screen when booting. I have tried a clean windows 7 install a couple of times with no success. Everything loads fine until i install all the latest drivers. I have googled this issue to death and was hoping maybe someone has had a similar issue with their laptop here. If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.

If you mentioned any other complaints, like the slow boots, they will very likely do a factory restore. So you'll probably get it back with its original, out-of-the-box software set-up.
Let us know whether the boot-up issue persists at that point, and we'll take it from there. Do keep in mind that long boot times...typical of bloated installations that have lots of extraneous programs and utilities loading at start-up....are different from the issue I was addressing, which is a very long dead period where it almost appears the boot has stalled....nothing seems to be happening and the screen is just blank for a long time. That's more indicative of driver issues.
