I have Windows 7 on my laptop and after I start it up and enter my password to login to windows I have to wait another 10-15 minutes for my desktop to appear. It's just a black screen, but the kicker is that I can move my mouse and see it on screen.

Recently when I have powered up my laptop it occasionally doesn't load properly, the screen stays black. You can hear the laptop working fine but you cannot see anything. This happens once or twice a week, I usually hold on the power button for 5 seconds, then reboot and it resumes my hibernate settings as usual. Could this be because I always hibernate my laptop?
I have a HP Pavillion DV6 laptop. Whenever I turn my laptop on and log on, a few minutes after logging on it freezes. Cant access anything, have to restart it. When turning on I gave it a scan by pressing escape and on the HP checks, the hard disk check it failed. Tried going into command prompt and doing chkdsk /f but get what's shown below.Checking file system on C:The type of file system is NTFS..One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is trongly recommended that you continue.Windows will now check disk.Cannot open volume for direct access. Autochk cannot run due to an error caused by a recently installed software package.Use system restore feature from the control panel to restore the system to a point prior to the recent software package installation. I can get into safe mode but that's all I can do.Would it be a good idea to reinstall windows, although I did it not that long ago (in the last two months or so) ? Or is there any programs that could save a hard drive. I really don't want to buy a new one. I've bought the laptop in Summer 2010 so its not too old. Although I think the vans sound quite loud and it overheats quite often, but I cannot take it off to get to them.

I think that the hard drive may have gone bad, and when I did a memory diagnosis, I have found that there is bad memory with my main hard drive. I do not have the original disk, nor can I access any of the files. I tried system Recovery, but it would not list W7 as an option. If someone knows where I could find those drivers to load onto a disk, that would be great. My computer is a Dell Studio 1535.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOver the past few months I began having this recurring problem where the computer goes into sleep mode, next I click the mouse to wake it and the lights and fans go on but the screen stays black. I then have to perform a hard restart where I was usually getting the "start in safe mode" screen, but lately I have also been getting BSODs.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI get a black screen after logging in.
The only thing on the screen is (happily) the Start button and my gadgets.
No desktop Icons, No taskbar, no wallpaper.
Had this with the Windows 7 driver. Windows update suggested the Nividea drivers which I installed. No help.
Current workaround: Change screen resolution to anything... everything comes back... I don't accept the change in resolution.. all stays on screen.
So just enoying but very curious what could cause this.
it won't power up little blue light flashing, screen stays black.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm getting a black screen a few minutes after the desktop appears, however this doesn't seem to happen when I boot in safe mode.How can I fix this? I've already tried restoring the system, but I get an error since the screen went black before the process began so I was forced to reboot.I doubt it's a GPU problem, since last night everything was working ok. I also doubt it's a monitor problem, because if it was, then the screen would be always black, no exceptions.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know there have been a number of posts on this subject but I have been unable to find a solution. I have 2 Windows 7 machines, both running SP1.
My HP Pavilion is running 64-bit and my Dell Latiude E6400 is running 32-bit. I can successfully RDP from my Dell and even my Apple iPad (via an RDP client) into my HP Pavilion. However, the problem is that when I try to RDP from my Pavilion into my Dell I get connected but all I see is a BLACK from the Dell machine. The only thing i can see is the Status bar at teh top telling me that i am connected. A few moments later I get a popup message telling me that the machines have failed to communicate.
I have confirmed that RDP settings are identical on the Pavilion and Dell. I have even downgraded the Dell NVIDIA graphics driver to an older version based on the recommended version on the Dell support web site.
It if very annoying because I am trying to do shit and then my screen will freeze for a few seconds, then go black for a few second, then flashes a couple times, and then starts to work again. the entire process takes about 15 to 20 seconds. The error message that comes up says
Display driver stopped responding and has recovered.Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 295.73 stopped responding and has successfully recovered.I've tried re-installing the drivers for my card but it didn't work. I have an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 420.
After I type my password to log in I get a black screen with a mouse for about 2 minutes before the desktop loads. The thing I found that seems to be causing the problem is my wireless card. If turn wireless off windows will go directly from login screen to desktop, with wireless on I get this long delay. I'm using Windows 7 Ult. x64 and my wireless card is Atheros AR5007EG.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a dv7 notebook with Win 7 Home Premium installed on it. Everything is running fine, except a couple of days ago the notebook began to take too damn long to boot up when restarting or just when powering it on.
I noticed it gets "stuck" on a black screen, just like a blank DOS screen, for about 2 minutes before booting up Windows.
I have tried downloading new BIOS from HP website, resetting the BIOS settings, changing the boot order but nothing really works. It always stays on the black screen for around two minutes and then Windows boots up normally. No text is shown, nothing at all.
I have a 2 year old DELL laptop that I use mostly for school. Today, when I tried to boot it up, I got past the login screen, and then the computer just does nothing. I get a black screen with a mouse cursor on it. I've looked this up online and have tried the solutions that I have found:
1) Download the fix from PREVX.com - did nothing.
2) Try CTRL+ALT+DEL to get into task manager - did nothing.
3) Boot in Safe Mode (works) and create a new profile - still black screen.
The school semester just started and the school website (I take ALL my classes online) does not work from this desktop (which is an entirely different issue that no one can figure out... not the school tech people, not the DELL people or the Firefox/Microsoft people... no one).
When I tried logging in this morning I got a BSOD saying "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". It kept happening after rebooting so I used system restore and that went away. But then I got a BSOD saying "a clock interrupt was not received on the secondary processor". This happens either right when I log in, or within about 10 minutes. I've been in safe mode for about an hour and it's been okay. I ran memtest86 for a few hours but there were no errors. I also cleared the CMOS.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy laptop screen stays off when I close the lid. I set the laptop to 'do nothing'(turn off the screen), when I close the lid. When I open it, the screen stays off.The only way to fix it from here is to either turn it off or to put it in sleep mode (with my designated button). Everything still works, its just that the screen doesn't turn on.

I googled "black screen laptop" and I found out about the black screen of death, but it doesn't appear to be this as it completely freezes the computer. I have no idea what this could possible be so I'm hoping someone on here has an idea. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite t135d-s1324 if it makes any difference.

When I highlight areas of the desktop by dragging the mouse over it it gets rid of the black.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis morning, Windows installed 5 updates, which I had postponed from yesterday. It told me to reboot but when it did, it got stuck at the Press ESC point. There was no disk activity. I turned off and rebooted again several times with the Windows Repair disk in the DVD drive. I was able to run the startup test but it said it couldn't repair it. The log said the the fault was caused by a critical update. I went into System Restore, but I am unsure of the options. It showed a screen with all my partitions already ticked, including the Windows boot partition which was greyed out. Am I supposed to leave all the partitions ticked, or if I don't, will I then lose those partitions?
I currently have the Wondershare LiveBoot 2012 DVD running but I'm not sure what option I need to use. Recover MBR, Recover Boot Sector, or Recover Boot files, or all of them?
