Clean Installation Problems (Black Screen)
Nov 11, 2009
So i'm trying to do a clean install of windows 7 (x36) from XP that im currently running. i've burnt the iso down on a dvd and it boots fine and the installation runs normally. I'm getting through all the steps within the installation when it at last says something about that it's done and it's going to restart for the first use of windows 7. Now i'm getting my problem.
The computer starts up and goes through the memory testing and such but just as it's about to start windows 7 i'm getting a black screen and my monitor says "No signal - blabla" and 3 seconds later it restarts itself. If i don't do anything now my computer loops this restarting on and on...
So i've tried to install it with removing my two 512mb RAMS and only have two 1gb of the same brand. Didn't help.

After few seconds start screen disappears and is repalced by a Black/Blank screen with only mouse pointer. Mouser is working but there is nothing on screen to click on. Keyboard is working fine too. (checked with NumLock and Caps Lock keys)
Nothing happends beyond this point even after rebooting and repeating above process.
Searched internet for above problem symptoms. Looks like Windows 7 decides default monitor on its own. There is no way to decide it yourself duing installation.
My motherboard has two ports. 1 DVI and 1 analog. I have only 1 Analog monitor and do not plan on buying/having another monitor.
DVI to analog convertor is not available in market to test display from DVI port.
Could somebody please help?

So, Im doing a clean windows 7 install. Here are the facts: [code] After the final stage of the setup where you enter PC name, set the password, enter time settings etc, the setup restarts the computer for the 'final' time, final indeed.What happens is that after the Bios / device scan, Windows won't boot and it won't continue past the black screen with the white blinking _ showing in the top left.Could this be because C: has been 'occupied' (or set as master partition) by the 1480GB partition and won't boot from the 105GB partition where Windows was installed?It's so weird because the first two reboots go without problem, no need to F8 and manually select the disk rather than the USB pen or anything.. But on the final reboot, nothing.

I had the clean it virus pop up window on my Sony Vaio laptop. After doing a few searches on how to get rid of this little pest. I rebooted my laptop in SAFE mode and did a restore to an earlier date. Everything seemed to take fine. Several minutes later while browsing the internet my FIREFOX crashed. I restarted it and several minutes later my computer crashed to a black screen with a blinking hash mark.

I am currently using Vista Home Premium SP1, with a Nvidia GTX 295 and Intel Core i7 920. I purchased the Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade disc yesterday.
Near the end of the installation it does one of its usual auto-restarts. After the Windows 7 loading screen finishes, all i can see is a black screen with a mouse pointer, thats it. Then if i restart it takes me to a screen that says "your upgrade failed, restoring your previous version of Windows". I have tried every hint i can find, 9 installs later, and still no closer to finishing.

I am trying to do an upgrade with a computer I previously had Vista Ultimate on. I choose to do a clean install and formatted the hard drive with the 7 installer. The installation begins normally, but when it reboots and says "Starting Windows" a black screen comes up. I am able to see the mouse cursor and mode it, but nothing else occurs.
The hard drive light comes on periodically, but nothing happens even if I leave it sitting for several hours. If I restart the computer, it gives me the option to start in safe mode, then says 7 can not load in safe mode and reboots to the same black screen.
I have tried installing multiple times with the same result. I re-loaded Vista and tried to do an upgrade, but it tells me Vista Ultimate can not be upgraded to 7 Home Premium and I must do a clean install.
The upgrade advisor told me I should have no issues and Vista ran fine.
Any ideas what could be causing this black screen upon installation?

I thought I'd move with the times and picked up a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. I had Vista installed before.
Booted from CD, delete/recreate partition and did a clean install.
The installer hangs on a black screen after the first reboot. Even left it overnight without progress. Forcing a reboot and going into Safe Mode the setup tries to continue, then comes up with a prompt saying 'Setup cannot run in Safe mode, rebooting your computer', whereupon it hangs again.
This is the sequence I tried:
1. Boot from CD, delete boot partition, new partition, clean install (HUNG)
2. Disconnect router, then as 1. (HANG)
3. Reset BIOS to factory defaults, then as 1. (HANG)
4. Disconnect external hard drive and printer, then as 1. (HANG)
5. Disabled on-board chips like sound, legacy USB etc, then as 1. (HANG)
I've tried booting to the CD and doing a 'repair windows' but that comes back without problems.
The only other thing I could think of is that the graphics card is incompatible... but I don't have onboard VGA and I don't have another card just lying around.
I've never had a problem doing a clean Windows install. I'm really disappointed they're making it so difficult. Does anyone have any suggestions? I might have to just go back to Vista...

My problem is that during Windows 7 Ultimate installation (right after the first reboot) the screen goes black! The monitor does not loose the signal because I can still see the green solid LED on it. I have run into this issue four times with four different PCs with four different configurations. The only common denominator here is the type of video card (I say the type of video card because this has happened with different brands and models of video cards). This has happened only with video cards that have DVI, S-Video and VGA ports, but only on the ones that have the VGA port that PLUGS through a little ribbon cable to the card it self. I have successfully installed Windows 7 on systems that have video cards with the same ports but the VGA port is solder to the card. It seems that after the first reboot and after it displays "Starting Windows", Windows thinks that the active port on the video card is the DVI port and NOT the VGA port that has been using up until that point! I know this because I have used a DVI to VGA adapter right after the screen goes black and there it is! the setup process waiting for my input (create a user)...

i have recently ordered a lappy ASUS K53SV-SX520D from flipkart. the specifications are i5 second Generation processor. it came preinstalled DOS. i tried to install the windows 7 ultimate 32 bit. and i installed successfully. But some problem arose i guess the reason is that i created 3 partitions while installations and from Disk Management i created another volume. of the remaining unallocated space.now when i started the lappy m not able to BOOT. its just the blank screen with a blinking curser. i have tried many times but failed. peoplesolve this problem. its a new laptop and m no even able to start it even once.secondly. someone suggested me to delete the partitions while instaling the Win 7 again. i tried that too.. but all the options to delete, format, new, are in gray. i mean m not able to delete those 4 partitions.

Have Windows 7 on my laptop and it's been working OK so far. When my WinXP install on my desktop started acting wonky and refused to launch except in safe mode, I figured I'd go ahead and trade up to Windows 7 since I'm a student and can get a copy for $20.I pulled all the data I wanted onto a USB drive, then started installing. Did a clean custom install; deleted both previous partitions and made a single new partition for it to install on (plus the mandatory 100MB partition). It chugged along and seemed to be progressing nicely: Copying files... check. Expanding files... check. Installing features... check. Installing updates... check. Completing installation... VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED. Suddenly my monitor doesn't understand the output it's getting. The system doesn't see the keyboard either: caps lock & num lock buttons don't toggle their associated lights. So I gave it an hour. Still nothing. I figured it must have locked up, so I power-cycled it, hoping it had completed the installation. No such luck, I get an error message saying the installation ended unexpectedly and I have to restart. So I restart. Same thing happens.
During the portion of the install just before the final reboot, while it says, "Completing installation..." the screen goes black to show a single blinking cursor in the top left for a second or so (like it kicked out of the OS), then goes black & says video mode not supported, like its receiving invalid input from the computer. I connected another monitor and instead of saying video mode not supported, it just shows a black screen, like its getting good output from the computer but the computer just wants to show all black (this monitor does have a 'video mode not supported' equivalent screen, which it's not using in this case; that's why I think it's getting good output from the PC). I know the system isn't reaching the actual reboot, because it doesn't do the 10-second countdown before automatically rebooting, it just jumps straight to the black screen.
Machine Stats Processor is a 3.0GHz Core 2 Duo. Has 2GB of RAM. GPU is an Nvidia 8800 GT. Monitor is a Dell 2007WFPb. Disc I'm installing from says "Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit x86 Upgrade: Pre-existing OS License Required (Product Key Required) - September 2009 Systems Student Media".
Current Things to Try Install WinXP and give Upgrade Advisor a shot. Current Operating System, pre-install- Never multi-booted before, not planning to start now. Current Hardware- 1 SATA hard drive- 1 SATA DVD drive- 1 USB external drive, but not connected during install- Didn't see any disks with an exclamation point or yellow triangle - Not a new HD; as I said, it's one I was using before, I deleted the two partitions I was using with WinXP, made a single new partition (plus the mandatory 100MB one), and formatted the new one using the installer's Disk Manager Windows 7 installation details - Disc says Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit x86 Upgrade: Pre-existing OS License Required (Product Key Required) - September 2009 Systems Student Media ... I saw on various forums before I started that Upgrade versions could do clean new installs as well - 32 bit (x86) version - Bought a legit DVDInstallation Media- From a DVDThe procedure and speed of burning the ISO to DVD has been the most frequent cause of installation failure- Bought itOther- No overclocking?

i have a MSI A6000 Laptop. Ive been trying to fix this problem for 2 day with 12 hours time and read countless forums but still haven't been able to solve it.
I recently encountered windows 7x64 installation error, where i could not select disk partition to install. ( i formatted and deleted all of the partitions for a clean install). But somehow after running the memory diagnosis i was able to go through the installation. But during the installation on the second time it restarts, my computer gets a black screen when starting.
i cannot access the post screen menu or the recovery option( it is however possible to access the same thing via booting through the USB and selecting the recovery option instead of installing). Also the memory diagnosis tool does not work any more giving an error. The bios options are as follows:
MAIN : Serial ATA [Hard Disk]
Serial ATA [ATAPI CDROM]
Advanced: PCI Latency timer [64]
Legacy USB support [enabled]
AHCI Mode [endabled]

I've recently purchased a new ASUS computer (N61V I think), it came with Windows 7 Home, however for school the techies will only work with Windows 7 Professional, so thus, I cannot use it at the moment. I went through start, and went to "Windows Anytime Upgrade", purchased the Professional upgrade, confirmed, etc, etc. But for some reason my screen has gone black (I'm using another comp!) and the lights are flashing on and off. This has been happening for 2 hours now, and I'm not sure what to do. It's got a 500GB hard drive (around 470gb left) and I'm not sure why it's having such problems. Very strong internet connection - plugged in- and has been on charging.

I'm installing Windows 7 Beta x64 Build 7600 with a 4.7GB DVD but once it gets to the 'finishing installation' part it seemingly reboots (I think?) to continue with the install but the thing is at this point in time for me the screen goes blank and all I see is the cursor which I can move around. If I power it off and then turn it back on the loading screen comes up but when I get to the log on screen the same thing happens again.
The exact same thing happens to me with Vista. I installed it like three times (the difference is on Vista it gets past the install but still won't get past the logon screen so I can never shut down, restarting is fine though for some reason) and I'm being forced to roll back to 64-bit XP which to be honest I really don't want. So far I've detected that it's not the DVDs. It might be the RAM but I replaced both temporarily and that didn't work either.

I have problems entering windows after the first installation of Windows 7 64 bit built 7000.After seconds the welcome (splash) screen appears, the windows suddenly reboot automaticaly.After that, black screen appears with dashes blinking.(Actually, my current OS is Windows 7 32 bit built 7600, but I think it isn't cause of the problems. I have formatted the local drive, in which my current OS was installed, before I install Win 7 64 bit).
