Black Screen With Curser After Boot-up
Jul 1, 2011
A while ago my computer was acting weird. It would not let me go into this folder in the appdata thingy. So, I decided to restart. It took for ever to shut down, and booted back up and was working fine. That night, I went to turn off my computer but it was on the shutting down screen for about 2 hours, and sese its in my room, I could not sleep without it. So, it being 1 in the morning and me really wanting to go to bed I turned off the power strip.Today, I went to turn it on, and it went to the login screen. I logged on, and it went to a black screen with the curser. I waited there for a little bit but it still wouldn't work. The weird thing is that the screen saver came up. I have tried safe mode, and everything.

Black screen with curser in center. Without clicking the mouse, dragging the mouse draws a blue box. Acts like the left click button is stuck. Control/alt/delete-task manager has Skype program running and some times another program. If I end all tasks, computer begins operating normally. Tried system restore to an ealier date would not complete. That was probably from not disableing virus protection.

I wanted to upgrade from Vista to 7, but I didn't want all of my programs to save. I bought an external HDD, and put all of my games and programs which I didn't want to get lost into the HDD. Then, I reinstalled Vista, so I had no data on my PC, but only on my external HDD.
After that, I installed Windows 7. Everything went well, until I had to boot my PC. It said it was loading windows (7), and than the screen turned black, and I haven't seen nothing exept of the mouse curser.
What could the problem be and how could I fix it?
I think the internet drivers are lost too. How can I reinstall them to have my web working?

I was using my computer yesterday, plugged in a usb and began to notice some strange things. Firstly, my computer began to lag really badly, so much that it took over 2 minutes just to open a word document. So then i decided to restart the computer. It did its normal thing but after the windows loading animation, instead of showing the log in screen, i see a black screen and cursor. I tried to find a solution; system restore, safe mode, taking out the usb , none of them seemed to work.
p.s ctrl+alt+delete does't work on the black screen p.p.s In safe mode, when it's loading drivers, it stops after having loaded "avgidseh", I don't think its this drivers problem but maybe the one after.

When user inputs credentials and hits enter it goes to windows log in screen but when it should go to desktop the user just gets a black screen with movable courser. This has happened to about 4-5 different pc's so far. My current fix is to backup their files on the network, delete their local user account and have them log in as if it was the first time again which creates a new profile and they can then log in with no problems. I saw a thread on this here already but it was about 2 years old and didnt give me any information on what is causing the problem.

I have run into a little bit of an annoying problem while logging onto my computer. I get to the login screen, enter my password, it then says welcome and fades out like usual. But insted of it going to my desktop it just goes blank for five to ten seconds with only the curser in the center of the screen spinning round as if it was loading somthing.I have had this problem for a few months now and have lived with it. I know it is just my user account because I tried making a new account and it works perfectly.

I just upgraded to Windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite Special Edition laptop that came with Vista 64bit and the other night i downloaded iTunes 10 and told me to restart my machine so I clicked ok and then my laptop shut off and when it came back on the Toshiba screen came up as usual but seemed to stay on longer than normal then it goes to a black screen with a underscore that blinks for a few moments then becomes solid. Ive tried to use the "F" keys to get different boot options because i have the windows 7 ISO disc and a ubuntu disc that I could use but whatever i try my laptop wont process it just does the same thing over and over again and bever proceeds to the actually boot up windows.

I have a Toshiba laptop running windows 7. It has been running like a well oiled machine since the day I got it.I turned it off to watch TV, then when I turned it back on, the screen shows the Toshiba screen for about 1/4th of a second and then goes black.If I hit F8, F10, or F12 nothing shows up.

While attempting to restore a previous backup of my system (with Norton Ghost 15), I got an error, and the system rebooted. Upon reboot, I get the black screen of death with just the cursor instead of the usual login screen. I have tried the following thus far: These all give me the black screen of death with movable cursor:boot in safe mode boot in safe mode with networking boot in safe mode with command prompt last known good configuration I did an initial system startup repair which went through and said it repaired it, rebooted, but no change. I did a pre-boot diagnostic test - nothing memory test - nothing tried restoring from restore point, but it says I don't have any (LIES! BLASPHEMY!) tried restoring from restore point on external disk - seemed okay, then failed. chkdsk - found some stuff, fixed it, no change. tried ctrl+alt+del on black screen of death - nothing
Now, I know that the hard drive itself is alright, that is, the information is still all there still. While I can't give you exact specs, I can tell you that I am on a Dell Studio XPS running Windows 7 home premium 64 bit. I'm at a loss as to what else to do. Despite being a black screen, with just a movable cursor, the system still appears to be running, as every few minutes, it will show the "thinking" cursor, where it shows the little circle next to the arrow.

For some reason... When ever I put my curser of an icon on the task bar, windows 7 doesn't show the screen shot of the window in use... Instead it just names the titles of my window!!

The Windows logo appears and everything seems fine. Then everything goes black with no sounds. It will then reboot and cycle back through the same way.

My OS is windows 7 Home premium upgrade from XP, 64 bit, I have been running this for a couple of years without any problems. I returned from holiday on Saturday, switched on the PC and as I only had a 'medium health' message, I scanned with 'Paretologic', this did not increase the level of health condition, but it did throw up some unwanted processes which I disabled, (could I have disabled explorer.exe by mistake?) When I restarted the PC the 'starting windows' screen with the flags came up and after a few minutes the black screen appeared with the cursor in the centre, now I don't know if it means anything but occasionally the 'spinning ring' appears, only for a couple of seconds but it would seem like it is attempting to start? Safe Mode, for some reason, is not available, neither can I set an earlier Restore point. I have carried out a check with the 'repair disc' no problems reported, I have also carried out a 'scannow' from the command point and the integrity is okay. I have downloaded a copy of the Explorer.exe but don't know how to install, I don't think it is a virus or Malware but I have a scanner to install if I knew of a way to load it. Without any form of access to the OS I am lost to know where the problem is.

i'd say it does that 3 times out of 10... Lappy starts, if i see the flashing cursor on the upper left corner before Windows logo appears, i know it will work. No cursor = no logo and no boot. Solution? Power off and back on 'til it works. I usually get good results when i hit F9 and choose manually to boot from hard drive even though it's already set this way in bios boot up priority.
It never did that from Windows 7 versions 7022-7048 on my 5400rpm fujitsu drive but it does happen since i installed 7077, and now RC, all clean installs, on my new seagate momentus 7200.3...
Has anyone ever experienced this?

I have installed Windows 7 on another hard drive which is partitioned to 40 gb using Acronis disk director. The installation went fine and as it went through the boot-ups, I had screen but on the final boot the screen is black apart from the os version in the bottom right hand corner. My cursor can be seen too.
Anyone have any ideas please? Is it a graphics driver issue?

i have a asus laptop. i got a virus. when i booted up it just went to a black screen with a cursor, so i reinstalled windows. after doing so it now just keep restarting, it will make it to the starting windows screen then it restarts and keeps doing that. I have tried all the following and have been unsuccessful: F2 while booting gives me two options: Windows Setup [EMS Enabled] Tools: Windows Memory Diagnostic, When I choose Windows Setup, Windows tries to boot and gets back into the black screen with a cursor. When I choose the Windows Memory Diagnostic option, I get a message saying Windows failed to start - a recent HW/SW change might be the cause. It asks me to insert a Windows installation disc and restart my computer. The following information is also provided on this screen.

I've been experiencing my pc locking up for some time now, and difficulty rebooting. The last time it happened, it locked up and there were colored spots all over the screen. I tried to reboot, and I get a black screen. The hard drive activity light comes on for a few seconds, and then goes out.

I recently built a computer for my first time. It was running fine whilst playing Arma 2, dayZ and dawn of war 2. I then installed Star Wars The Old Republic and everything went on fine until I went to play the game. The screen went black and the no signal message came up on my tv.
I could not do anything so I just turned my computer off and then back on again. When I then went to boot again in Normal mode, it just shows the windows logo and then does the same thing.
I have tried booting it in safe mode, and this works fine. I don't think it is anything to do with my monitor as it works in safe mode and also it's my tv which works with DVDs and anything on TV.
Could it possibly be something to do with the drivers? Although I have been playing other games fine until now. Or could it possibly be something such as a corrupt file or the game installed something else which won't work?
Someone also suggested that it might be something to do with the power going into the computer? They said it could be putting too mcuh power into it and it would cut out.

Last night I got the windows 7 antivirus pro malware which i tried to remove by downloading avg antivirus. It deleted some files from the registry i believe and I had to do some other things to make .exe files work again.After that everything was running smoothly until again later at night i got one of those viruses that locks your computer and turns your webcam on saying that you are being monitored by the government and need to pay 100 dollars and all that.I immediately knew it was some malware and forced shut my laptop off. I logged back in and it happened again. So after that i rebooted the system and did a disk repair. I left my laptop on all night and in the morning it was at the exact same spot i left it at and wasn't responding. I then again forced shut off the computer which was a mistake because now i can't boot it completely at all. If i try to boot it in safe mode with networking it freezes at the directory avgidsha.sys . Then i get the black screen error where there is just a black screen and my cursor.If i boot it with last known settings i get the black screen after the windows logo. if i go to repair system it doesn't let me do anything. When i try to do the actual repair it says that make sure there is no camera or device attached. i cant restore the system and i tried a whole bunch of things in command prompt like sfc/scannow but it says that you need to reboot your system for the disk repair to be completed. Also i got the laptop from bestbuy with windows 7 already installed and dont have the disc?

When I turn my machine on I get the Windows logo, then the screen goes black and a text message advising me that a disk check is occurring, and if I want to skip it I have to hit any key in X... seconds. If I let it run, it eventually goes to all black on the screen, the disk runs and runs - I let it run for two days once - and nothing happens.
If I "hit any key" as instructed it goes to the Windows boot and all appears to be well. I guess I shouldn't complain, but I really hate the whole "disk check" screen thing, and would like to get rid of it. How can I do that?

I have been getting an alert that I have updates to windows 7, but they never seem to actually install. Tonight it didn't seem like my audio drivers were working anymore.On my other computer I realized that Custopack tools, which is a theme customization program that alters uxtheme.dll, wasn't working with the new service pack. So with this laptop I restored the default windows theme and rebooted, and got my audio back. However, I went to shut down, which would also install the update, and when I booted back up, Windows won't even start.I get past the bios, and then there's just a blinking cursor. The door on the CD-ROM works but the caps lock and num lock do not.

I have a major problem with windows 7 home premium which was an upgrade over vista. A while back I started having problems when I ran windows update. Almost every time it ran and I rebooted later all I got was a black screen with the mouse curser. When I rebooted a second time I got my desktop but none of my programs would load. I would get the spiral and then it stopped. The hard drive was chugging away. I usually got around this by going back 2 or 3 systems restores and then it worked fine. I recently used revo uninstaller to get rid of a program and to clean up the registry. It created a system restore and then I rebooted. When I rebooted I got a message of some disk problems and ran 3 corrective actions (I don't know what they do) including chkdsk and then rebooted. I got my desktop again but nothing loaded.
I did safe bootup to get to the system restore but they had all disappeared. Apparently either the disk or registry got corrupted. I can go on the internet in safe mode or load programs but can't print. I would love to be able solve the problem why programs can't load so I wouldn't be dependent on systems restore and get my laptop running normally. It is a Dell inspiron with intel core 2 duo
