Notebook Stuck For 2 Minutes On Black Screen Before Booting Up
May 3, 2012
I 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 this Samsung Notebook and after using it for certain time, the PC crashed giving DOS sounds. When I started the PC again, I was at the boot screen asking me to choose the OS. Although my keyboard didn't worked. Now my PC is somewhat a brick. How can I solve this issue? What's the best way to restart the keyboard?
have a new hp 300 touchsmart computer ( less than a week old ) and i have disabled the screensaver thinking it would solve the problem i am having , but the problem still exists . while i am watching a Internet or other video the screen will dim slightly and a few minutes later go black . if i move the mouse the screen will return to normal . anybody know how i might be able to fix this via some setting or other way ?
I'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.
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.
My computer screen has been going black for every 5 minutes, but I've already set all the options to never or to 0 minutes, but still the black screen just appears when I am watching video or whatever that I am doing without using the mouse.
My desktop changed by itself and when I am online the screen goes to black every few minutes even though I am sure I disabled the sreensaver. My antivirus icon also disappeared from the website.
my screen has a black mark in the bottom right hand corner.It is about 2cm in length and looks like the screen is bleeding. This mark appeared a little more than 24 hours ago.
im having a problem with win 7 booting it get stuck on splash screen and when im trying to repair in the recovery mode it tells me that not all problems could be fixed and gives me these details: [code] i can boot with safe mode most of the times, some times it gives me blue screen and restart ,but if i unplug and then plug the power cable it works in safe mode.
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.
I just got a new HDD (a solid state drive). I went through the first part of the install and then after it rebooted, it load up to the "starting wondows", stays like that for a few minutes and then it disappears and I just have a black screen. Nothing happens after that. I haven't even completed the rest of the install.
I have my 2 extra HDD's disconnected. I've unplugged the extra monitors from the back.
When i boot up my PC, i see my asus screen, it loads up, and the screen is black, except for my mouse, which i can still see and move. After about 5 seconds, my desktop appears, and nothing is wrong (that i notice). This happens every time i fully shutdown my computer.
I just installed a new motherboard into my compaq preserio and when the computer starts up I am greeted with a black screen that says "loading operating system...". When I plug the original motherboard in I am greeted with a black screen, nothing happens after that. I have already installed the new motherboard's drivers but thats was when it crashed. I ran a diagnostic on it and it gave me error BIOHD 3, which I believe means that the drivers couldnt be found. So I am stuck at a stand still until I can find a fix.
My computer after trying to (stupidly) remove the SPTD driver so Daemon Tools would work. Is stuck on the black loading screen, even when loading from safe mode.
I tried removing the sptd driver, but only took out 1 of 2 files, the other not being removed properly. So i restarted (which worked) and restored my computer to an hour before i tried any of it. I could only log on in safe mode and i checked and saw that both drivers were there. So i turn off the computer and it was fine.
However, i tried to turn on the computer again later, but it got stuck on the black screen with just the mouse. I held the power button and retried,in safe mode, this time getting to my computer background, with nothing loading. I tried yet again and only got black screen. It says all my drives loaded and everything, including sptd, but nothing is loading.
What is wrong with my computer? I am not that good with them and cannot open it up without a lot of help if it is a hardware problem
For the past few weeks I have noticed my laptop becoming slower and slower. As of a few days ago it has been ridiculously slow and is sometimes unresponsive to commands or keyboard. It used to go straight to a black screen with only the cursor after start up but now sometimes starts up, although very slow. Now my desktop started doing it too. I don't know what's going on with them. I had not had any virus protection for a while and recently installed webroot complete 2012 on both of them and scanned, finding nothing. My desktop sometimes loads into safe mode when I tell it to, however it still is extremely slow, SAme with he laptop. And if I try to start up the desktop on normal is stays on black screen. I have noticed that sometimes I will get the "Microsoft windows isn't responding" pop up. My control alt delete doesn't work on either of them either, it pos up suing something like " the control alt delete function could not be started blah blah blah".
I upgraded my system with intel DG41 board and 8GB of ram, and it works fine...only somtimes when I boot into windows, after the booting screen, just I see a blank black screen, no task manager and explorer too, I tried different drivers for my nvidia 9500gt, and still same problem, and when i shutdown (holding the power button), and restart, then it works, it log in to windows normally?
When 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.
it started over a year ago when I started to get random BSOD messages, after no specific update, installation, or hardware change whatsoever.those usually included "IRQ_LESS_OR_EQUAL". usually after a crash it took some startup attempts to boot successfuly.
more recently crashes followed those BSOD's: "BAD_POOL_CALLER" "BAD_POOL_HEADER" "BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO"
since the latest crash, the computer is failing to start - after widows logo appears, I get a black screen with a cursor. NO control afterwards - Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work and I all I can do is restart.
I tried:
1. safe mode (all kinds) - still get the black screen with no response
2. low resolution video mode- same
3. Windows Restore, both from the boot options dialog and from the WIN7 installation disc boot - it doesn't run, I get an error message ("the application referenced memory......... .....memory can't be read" )
4. memory check, it ran but I cant access the results.
5. Windows system files checker ('sfc'), via the repair tools command prompt - it doesn't start, says there's a startup repair pending so startup - yet there isn't
6. reset BIOS settings - nothing before the current trouble, at times, I also tried:
- reinstalling drivers for Graphic card, Network card and motherboard - cleaning dust in the CPU cooler - fastening connectors - clean format (that was a long time ago but blue screens appeared even shortly afterwards)
nothing worked....

Today I started up my pc and after the BIOS screen (the place where you can press f8-f11 for various options) it went to a black screen with a blinking underscore in the upper left corner and stayed there indefinitely. It did this even after reboot.
I tried using the diagnostic tool and everything it tested passed (including HDD). I did this test twice and the same results were produced.
I also googled for similar problems (one topic mentioned that the op disassembling his computer and physically tapping a chip on the motherboard caused it to work) but I have no experience with taking apart my computer and i do not want to break it accidentally. I did however chance upon a topic advising him to do a CMOS reset which apparently helped that op, so i looked through the various options on the BIOS page. There was one option (f10 I think) mentioning CMOS on its fourth sub-window, so i pressed the reset option but I'm mot entirely sure if I used the right function.
I uninstalled kaspersky pure and replaced kaspersky pure for kaspersky anti-virus yesterday, dont know if this was the cause. I am using windows 7 64 bit.
Like the title says, my computer is stuck on a black screen.I downloaded an update and was instructed to restart the computer. After restarting the computer it went to a black screen. It won't do anything past that. I've tried starting it in safe mode but always with the same result. I have no idea what to do with this short of taking it to Best Buy to have the geek squad take a look at it and frankly I don't feel like doing that.
When I boot windows 7 it gets to the blue window stating windows 7 home premium and stays there for about 5 minutes without doing anything then it will finally boot on up.
OS: Dual-boot Windows XP Professional x32, Windows 7 Ultimate x64. (Windows XP earlier OS)CPU: AMD Athlon 7750 x2RAM: 4GBGPU: Nvidia GeForce 9500gtHDD: Seagate 500GBWindows Xp installed for around 3 years, Windows 7 for about 1 year. The pc is about 3 years old.For the past 7-8 days, my computer is randomly restarting or freezing up. The problem persists till I restart it 3-4 times. Then it functions properly till the time it is shut down. On checking Event Viewer I saw that one of the reasons for the problem is given as 'The Network List Service service depends on the Network Location Awareness service which failed to start because of the following error: The dependency service or group failed to start". Two other reasons which are also there quite a few times are "DCOM got error "1084" attempting to start the service WSearch with arguments in order to run the server" and The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: AFD, CSC, DfsC"I have also noticed that after the first restart, the PC freezes even in the OS selection screen. All seems to be fixed after the 4th restart till the time I shut down. I am using Kaspersky and it is about to expire in a few days. If I remember correctly, the problem started on the day Kaspersky first giving reminders about renewing license. Can these be connected?
I used to have windows xp on my pc and recently i upgraded the memory of it into 6GB RAM. I decided to install windows 7 64bit. After that point my pc is slow as hell! Booting in windows takes around 4mins. general performance of pc is very low after installing win 7. I have updating drivers through windows and everything seems updated.
Ok, so last night, I was so tired, Instead of shutting down my PC thru Start -> Shutdown, I just used the power button from the Chassis, When i started my PC this morning, It was stuck at the windows logo for about 5minutes before actualy starting....I tried using the windows startup repair(Forgot the exact name) But its not repairing....Are there any software that check if theres something wrong with my windows 7 ,Because Im worried that if i restart my PC , It will get stuck in the Windows 7 logo permanently
when i start my computer it gets stuck for like 4-5 min here:and then again after windows logo it has a blackscreen for anotehr 2-3 mintues.i tryed reformating from windows xp to 7 and it still has the same problem.the computer it self doesnt get stuck or anything it works fine.tryed restarting 5 times and each time it gets stuck?
i am using windows 7 with 2 gb ram and 500 gb hardisk. After booting up, in a few minutes it starts giving not responding message. I even could not start the task manager. In fact windows is stuck. I used to restart my system to continue my work
My computer during system restore was turned off and keeps saying loading files what can I do to reset it to factory I did the f8 and the zero ideas already.
When I tried to boot Windows 7 yesterday, I got a prompt saying that a disk check had been scheduled. I initially thought this got stuck because it seemed to freeze on 10% and the numbers alongside that figure didn't go up. I rebooted my computer and let it start again, after a few hours(!) the disk check finished and started on another of my drives. Again, I let this complete and it eventually rebooted itself. Upon rebooting it however, it did the exact same thing and appears to be in a loop just doing the disk check over and over.
I Googled this and opened the command prompt and checked all my drives (it disk checked f and c) but none are marked as dirty. I ran the command to stop the disk check on all drives anyway but still the problem persists.
Right at the start it says I can cancel the check by pressing any key on the keyboard but for some reason, it doesn't work - not sure if it's not recognising the keyboard or not.
I've also tried to boot into safe mode to see if that bypasses it but that hangs at classpnp.sys so that's a no go right now as well. I tried renaming the file to classpnp.old as a forum suggested but it blue screens and restarts if I do that. I'm currently trying a linux boot cd to replace to file to see if that works.
