View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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
i bought a external hard drive and really wanted to have windows on it, so i installed windows 7 with some program, ok the problem is when i start the windows just dont boot, just appears a black screen with a blicking cursor, i think it is because mbr or boot are damaged because i removed ubunto and grub recently and i fixed it with partition wizard, i eard too i can repair this with windows re but it dont work on external hard drives
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen Win 7 pro (32 bits) boots up, as we all notice, there is a second or so when there is a black screen, w/ just your mouse cursor, and then you are supposed to see the blue Welcome screen.
In the past 2 months, my computer is stuck at that black screen about 7 times, as recent as tonight. I've done a clean install w/ the latest Nvidia driver 2 weeks ago. No change. It looks like win 7 Pro is stuck there and waiting for something as my hard drive light blink on and off.
So, I would do nothing, or sometimes I would disconnect the HDMI port connects to my 3rd PC Panel (see below), and I would wait for 5 min. or so. Then my login logo shows up, I click it, and I got to windows.
Now, w/ the normal boot up, I don't have that login logo, win 7 pro will simply boot up directly to win 7 main screen after I turn on the computer.
Some1 said this could be IRQ sensing problem of the video card. But so far, I have no proof on that 1 way or the other: All these started about 2 months ago, at or near the same time when the Sharp LED TV technician came to my house and upgraded all the firmware, including the firmware that consumers can't download, to my Sharp LED LCD TV, as the power button wasn't working.
Then in the past 2 mth., every time I turned on my LCD TV, which is connected to my computer as the 3rd screen via a DVI to HDMI cable, Win 7 senses this 3rd panel, and the screen went black and back on again. This isn't the way it used to be: as it WAS NOT SWITCH TO THE HDMI PC PORT.
My Sharp LCD has 4 HDMI output. Tonight for e.g., I was on Input 2, which is satellite, but as soon as I turn on the Sharp LCD, win 7 senses this 3rd screen, and the screen do that black screen then back on again w/ the music charm note.
This was not the way it used to be, in the past yr., w/ this same set up, win 7 only went to the black screen and back on when I switch to Input 1, which is PC at 1920x1080. And I don't know if the above is related to the boot up lock up or not.
I just finished a new built and I ran into a problem after installing Windows 7. I was setting up some some drivers the PC randomly went to a black pixelated screen and it sounds like the CPU fan started running on max speed. Now, every time I turn it on the fan is still running on max speed and the screen goes black soon after the desktop starts up. I know it could be a hundred things but it be huge if you guys have any information on this issue. One last thing is I switched the main graphics card back to the integrated one and it seems to be running okay but I only had it on for a few minutes because the CPU fan is still running on MAX.

I installed Windows 7 on my desktop pc & when it's done the first stage it reboots. Then it takes me to the part where it says 'Completing installation...' and it hangs at that for a minute or two. Then the screen goes black and i dont know
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.
I was having problems booting Windows 7, so I attempted to use the Bootrec.exe tool to rebuild the my BCD. But I screwed that up big time.Now I get the following error message on a black screen when I attempt to boot up: Windows Failed to start. A recent hardware change or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, then click "Next."
3. Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.The Windows Boot Configuration Data file does not contain a valid OS entry.As far as I can tell, the hard drive is operational. The BIOS detected it and it passed the diagnostics test.
My system runs completely fine, but whenever I try to LiveBoot my screen goes black after about 5-10 minutes. Same goes with when I try to do a daily Windows Format/Installation and Safe Mode.

I turn on my computer to eventually get a black screen with white cursor that will move around. The Toshiba insignia comes up beforehand as well as the windows four square icon then it is to this black screen and white cursor. I cant seem to get the computer to boot up from Windows 7 installation disc. Sometimes I also get a BOOTMGR image is corrupt. The system cannot boot. message as well. I imagine there is a solution of sorts as it seems many people have had a similar problem. I have a freind who maybe able to fix it seeing he is a computer programmer but that is not until the end of the week.

When I turn it on I can hear it boot, but everytime the screen just stays black. I cannot start it in safemode or do anything. It is just blackI can think is that the other day I used CC Cleaner and it did some things to the registry. Otherwise I have not downloaded anything or done anything that should suddenly make it stop working.

I need help and suggestions on what to do with this black screen crisis. Mine is a little different that others. so sorry if this is a repeated thread. ive looked everywhere, and no one has the issue when they have dual boot.I have dual boot on my laptop with windows 7 ultimate 32 bit and windows 7 home premium 64 bit. the home premium came pre installed on the laptop and the ultimate version i installed later dual boot (i needed some capabilities that home premium doesn't have).I cannot see anything on my screen after windows logo while booting up my laptop bcz of the black screen after the windows logo. When i boot into WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM. i hear windows logon screen notification noise but see nothing! oddly enough even my built in webcam logs me in with VeriFace software with my face, passwordless! ALSO my laptop boots fine with windows 7 ultimate and i can see everything, and it works great! i need the other version to WORK cause my life is in that other version of windows. i cannot factory restore!!!
What i have tried: the keyboard is also unresponsive, bcz i held down a bunch of keys to see if it makes the beep noise. I closed the laptop lid to see if it goes into hibernation and waited 3 mins to see if it still does, so that when i open it i can see everything (it has worked before). nothing. i rebooted a bunch of times even with a second screen attached, tried to guess switch into projector mode with my function key and switch screen/projector button. i have also done a power cycle. i think the registry is screwed, or maybe the graphics card drivers are ruined. have not done a registry repair through the other windows version (doing that next). i have defragged both partitions for both of the windows 7 versions through the one that works.What may have caused it: the last time i used home premium, i rebooted so that i can use the ultimate version (for the extra capabilities). i was not watching and it booted up in home premium, and the built in cam is so fast that i merely looked at the laptop and it logged me in. i was being unpatient, bcz you have to wait for the lenovo programs to load before you can restart. so i forced shut down (very bad idea) by holding the power button and booted up in ultimate finally while watching.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy 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 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.
