Black Screen Of Death With Mouse Pointer - Acer Aspire 5732Z
Mar 3, 2012
My mother in law has an acer aspire 5732Z, yesterday she was fiddling with the touch pad sensitivity and suddenly her screen went black. Each time she tries restarting, she gets the windows 7 startup screen, but just before getting to the log in screen, the screen goes black. The mouse pointer is still on the screen and she can hear that the computer is still on. But besides that, nothing can make it start up properly.I have tried talking her through safe mode startup, but that didn't do anything. She has pulled out the battery and restarted, which does nothing either.
Today i noticed that after my windows 7 logon screen i get a black screen with only my mouse pointer on it. i already tried restoring to a day before the problem but same thing happenswhat can i do to fix it? seems to me that the problem started after i installed hotspot-shield i guess it cameout with some driver installer but i dont know which onesi waited on the black screen and it seems to start windows after 10 mins which is way longer than usual and thats my problem its anoying. what else can i do? i already did the restoring point process. and start up restore, and memory disk checkup.
Recently my computer has not been loading windows 7 up intill the login screen. I get to see the little circle color things swirl around with the "Loading Windows" text, but were the login screen usually appears, I get a totally black screen with a movable mouse pointer. It is a brand new rig with 4g RAM (2g sticks) and I am running the 64 bit version but wounder if this is causing the problem.
Also when I try to do a system restore using the windows disc, I must first go into the settings (by pressing DEL on start up), then set my bay drive to boot first rather then my SATA to get the "Press any button to boot from disc... " prompt. Otherwise windows will ignore the disc. However when I load the disc and try to go into restore points, there are none to choose from.... I have no clue what to do and am willing to just install windows complelty again ext.
My laptop didn't reboot wen i restarted it.. so i decided to recover using the recovery disk.. But wen it reached the last cd, the recovery failed. So i decided to choose to delete all files.. after formatting, wen I reboot it appears, BOOTMGR missing. so I used windows 7 cd installer, planning to reinstall my OS.. i restarted, reboot on cd/dvd, then "windows loading" appears.. after that black screen with appears.. wmouse pointer appears.. Laptop: toshiba A665 OS: windows 7 home premium
[code] This info above is not for the PC in trouble.I have an ACER laptop and it all of a sudden went to a blue screen and then tried to reboot to a black screen with mouse pointer only. Tried my win 7 upgrade CD to see if I could repair and it only loads to the same end. No options are asked for.The blue screen has appeared a couple of times and states a unusable boot sector. I would like to run a checkdisk but cannot find one to put on a memory stick with a minimal operating system.I have tried all the reboot choices, F8, F2 and F12.I tried to use an old windows XP install CD and when I select install it says a HDD can not be found.
I tried a registry tweak to fix my home networking issues and came up with a major fail. Long story short, I changed the rpcedptmapper value and the system won't boot.I put the HDD in a cradle and it won't get recognized. HP in all their wisdom, sets the recovery disk to obliterate the entire HDD even if you created a separate boot partition
installed windows 7 ultimate(tried both 64 and 32 bit) to my pc. but after installation when it reboots for the 1st time, it shows a black screen with the mouse pointer. i waited 1/2 hour but no use.my pc config core2quad q6600, asus P5KVM, 2 gb ddr2 ram, nvidia 9600gt 512mb and 380 gb seagate hd also when i try to boot in safe mode it says that windows have to start normally for the first time.i installed it over xp sp3 by formatting the c drive.i have reinstalled it atleast 6 times but no change.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.All of a sudden, it has stopped starting up without me installing anything new.I gets past the bios, shows the Windows logo and then before the login page appears, the screen goes black and only has the mouse pointer (which I can move around curiously!).I have tried doing Startup repair, loading in Safe Mode, loading with lower screen resolution, loading with Last Known Good Configuaration, done a memory scan: they all lead to the same result.I don't think it is an issue with the Hard Drive because I can still hear it spinning, also, I am able to pull files off it when I plug it in to my USB (using an adapter). Also, Windows loads to some point and it would get stuck at the bios if it was.Don't think it is the graphics card or I wouldn't be able to see anything that I see up until that point including the mouse pointer.I have tried using Google but many places have left this unresolved or the problem is not exactly like mine.
Upgraded to Windows7 Bit32 from Vista on HP desktop machine. The only thing I get is a black screen after the startup and a mouse pointer, but nothing else.
When I boot my computer, I see "Starting Windows". The screen then goes black and the mouse pointer shows up in the middle. The mouse does not move.I inserted my Windows 7 disc and went into repair. I tried a restore and a repair. Nothing happened. I should note that also my mouse pointer was not functioning at this time, either. That is, the pointer was in the center and the mouse was not moving.I hear the fan going on, eventually it stops making noise, not to be confused with the computer shutting off. I guess you call that more of an "idle sound".I checked the connections. Unplugged and replugged in the mouse. No luck.
I have an ACer Aspire one D2255-2256. At varying amounts of time of computer being on the computer goes to the Blue Screen Of Death, BSOD. I have seen different reasons given for possible problems. One problem is that the Blue Screen only stays on screen for a couple of seconds, not enough time to read the screen. It is on for a couple of seconds and at the bottom of screen it mentions '??????? dumping ', which only takes a couple of seconds, then computer blanks out and reboots. I was able to take one picture with camera of one of the blue screen appearances. But like I said earlier the reasons given are not always the same,just don't have the time to read it. I have done a complete recovery to factory settings and default settings. Still gets the blue screen.
Most desktop monitors, when inactive for periods of time(usually preset in o.s. or altered for individual tastes) saves electricity by powering down the monitor, and let it "sleep", but any programs running on the cpu, continue on, unabated. But with these Acer Aspire All-in-one compters are different, i may be listening to an internet radio station, and even though it's not a computer program running,,after a time of inactivity of my manually working (via my keyboard) or something like that, the screen goes black and it kills the internet connection to the internet radio i am listening to. Yes,,if that happens,,i only have to jiggle or move my mouse to turn the screen back on, but is a real pain to have to continually jar the mouse to keep the radio on. Any ideas on how to avoid this black screen of killing my internet radio, and downloads??or anything going on ,while the screen is active?
my acer aspire 5680 have a black screen problem whenever i try to open the laptop. when i open the laptop there will be beep-ing sound and then nothing will appear on my laptop screen. i suspect this is a black screen problem.
I would like to replace my elusive, puny little white mouse pointer with a big, bold black one. Win 7 is an all-singing, all-dancing clever stuff, i'm told so am thinking there must be a way of doing this as opposed to buying third-party software.
Got software restore. Can't start from disc. Changed boot order, nothing. f8, f10, f12,got my no where. Won't start in safe mode. I don't have the options that the instructions with the discs say I should have. Here are my options:
1. Goes to eRecovery and just sticks there with a blue spinning wheel
2. Goes to f8 menu with no option for recovery or repair. When trying to start normally it goes to a blue screen with an error message that is gone to fast to read. Restarts
3. Goes to black screen with some unreadable stuff except for the word "failure". Restarts
I recently had my laptop crash on me, I recently returned from Iraq and lost all of my recovery disks for vista, so I decided to upgrade to windows 7. I purchased an oem install, and got win7 installed and working, but it decided to stop working for me. When I try to start windows normally the computer reboots until I choose to do a startup repair, when I choose startup repair it "loads", I see the activity bar, and then it goes away and I end up with a black screen and pointer. I haven't really gotten anything installed that I can't reinstall, so I tried to reinstall win7 and end up with the same as if I try startup repair, I get nowhere.
I'm having problems with my laptop on which I have Windows 7 Home Premium. I boot into the system but, after the loading logo,a black screen appears with just the mouse pointer/cursor; I can move it.It stay like that for a little and then the notebook reboots itselfs with no error or BSOD (even if I "disable the rebook on crash" using F8 at boot).One day I found my PC freezed (after an Ubuntu hibernate) and I had to force the power off.Trying to boot grub gave me errors: so I thought of a partition/disk error. With GParted I had problem loading the partitions, so with other tools I deleted the Ubuntu partition.Now I have no partition problem, but Windows 7 continue to not load and reboot.
- So I tried the "Last known good configuration". Same result.
- Safe Mode do the same.
- I cannot load anything nor do CTRL+ALT+CANC to try to load explorer. It seems to stuck before Winlogon.
Yesterday I was watching a movie on VLC media player when my whole laptop started freezing randomly, and I had to wait 1 minute until it unfroze, and after that it was slow as sh*t and I couldn't even restart it, it would stay stuck on my desktop wallpaper. Then I just got impatient and removed my laptop battery and unplugged the AC cord. Then I restarted my laptop and I couldn't get passed the BIOS, it just showed a black screen with no cursor or anything.
I tried pressing F8 to enter safe mode but the safe mode screen doesn't appear. I also tried doing a system restore from my BIOS but it would just give me an error saying that the restore point was corrupted. Also, I did drop my laptop about 30 mins before this happened, but it wasn't even a 1 foot drop and it was on carpet, but I'm guessing by this that something inside the laptop got dislocated or something. And yes it was the only time I've dropped it. Also, when you let the black screen on for about 15 mins it goes into System Repair but that doesn't do anything at all.
I wouldn't mind just taking it to the shop and completely reinstalling Windows, but I have about 10gb of music and I seriously don't want to lose it. Yes I know I should have backed it up but I've never had a problem before so I didn't expect this.
I hope this is the correct section to put this in. For the past 4 days, I have been trying to fix my computer but I am stumped. My computer is running Windows 7 Professical 32 bit. On Sunday night, I turn on my computer. It starts up like normal, until screen where it asks if I want to boot into Startup Repair (Recommended) or Start Windows Normally. I think nothing of it and just start it normally. After I select that, it reboots and goes back to that boot screen. Naturally, I just let it run Startup Repair. I let it run overnight and in the morning I find my computer with a black screen and movable cursor. I didn't think much of it, so I rebooted and the black screen persists. I look up possible solutions for this (I later found out this problem is called the a Black Screen of Death or KSOD) but have failed to discover a solution.
The full details of my system before anyone can help.The computer is an Intel core 2 duo 6600 2.40 Ghz with 2 meg ram. Nvidia Gforce 8600 GT graphics card. I have no onboard VGA graphics just the Gforce, and I am not sure if I have DVI display the monitor just connects with the normal socket.
The hard drive I am installing to is a 80Gig SATA and I formatted it before starting with the windows 7 RC boot dvd so it is a clean install. I downloaded the installation file and burn the image with Nero on a slow speed.When I boot from the DVD all works ok and the computer restarts a few times, and then just a black screen.
After several attempts i did manage to get as far as inputting the serial number and windows 7 started up it then connected to the internet and downloaded some updates and then restarted and i was back to the black sreen, i could at that time boot into safe mode but i was not able to connect to the internet and download new video drivers.
Then after foollowing some advice i did another install, I tried a reinstall and now I can’t get as far as the serial number. I can’t understand this as I did have it running just the once even if it was in safe mode. I have run the Windows 7 RC upgrade advisor and that says my computer is ok to run Windows 7 including the Gforce card.
Occasionally when I boot up my PC (Windows 7 Pro SP1), the screen is dulled but the mouse pointer (arrow) is very bright. When it's like this, if I open an application the text and the caret pointer are very dull and difficult to read. The situation doesn't change if I try a different monitor. So far, the only way I've found to get back to normal is to re-boot.
