Flashing white screen on boot


DarkKnight

Recommended Posts

I am getting a white flashing screen on boot when I try to install new security software.

The latest culprits being Bitdefender (paid) and Avira free antivirus, whenever I install them when I go to reboot I will get my pc makers logo, after which all I get is a flashing white screen and Windows will not boot, the screen just keeps flashing white and black, what is causing this? It cannot be graphics related because the pc boots normally without those AV's installed, just wondering if there is something in those AV's that need to be disabled for Windows to boot properly. Unfortunately I cannot find anything on either AV vendors websites or by doing a web search on the issues.

My System Specs:
Windows 10 Pro x64 v1511 build 10586.494

Running Security software:
Windows Defender
Winpatrol Plus
Winantiransom Plus+
Malwarebytes Pro
Rollback Rx Pro
Microsoft EMET

(all licenses are legit where required and are owned by me)

Fast boot and secure boot are both disabled

And yes, I do disable Windows Defender before installing another Antivirus.

Any help would be appreciated.

All that O_o? Maybe uninstall something...

:D I don't think so, this setup has kept me virus, trojan, malware, ransomware and exploit free for almost a year now, I'd like to keep it that way. No security software catches everything, this setup kind of levels the playing field.

Besides I don't think that is the problem, I think the problem lies within Windows 10 or the AV's I am trying to install.
