Installing Windows: Goes To Blank Screen After Detecting Hardware Settings?

May 25, 2005

Okay, I bought a new mobo and set up a clone pc. ASrock combo mobo (the one with socket 754 and 939). I have everything set up right, POST confirms. Everything is good, POST works fine. I've got a formatted hard drive, no OS on it. I'm trying to install Windows to that OS, but it will not install. It goes to a blank screen after detecting my hardware settings. Wasn't sure if this topic should have gone in OS or hardware, so i put it here. I've tried 2 windows CDs and a Linux DVD on 2 different disc drives, and still nothing works past the "setup is detecting your hardware settings" screen. I have no idea what to do.

PC Boots To Windows, But No Display / Getting Blank Screen?

Oct 17, 2006

I'm trying to solve a video issue on my friend's pc with windows xp home. He just bought a new video card (Ati 9550 256mb AGP) and he ended up disabling the old video card in device manager. Now, no matter if he installs the new or old card, the screen goes black right before it goes into the desktop. He can hear sound, such as the windows sound. He went into bios, but there's no video options, as this is a custom built PC. He tried to go into safe mode, but that doesn't work..same black screen.

Installing XP: Go Into Setup And Change Boot Settings Without Re-installing?

Feb 19, 2005

I recently installed xp for the first time after replacing motherboard and CPU.I skipped setup because I didn't know what I was doing. Now I can't boot up (cold or warm) without using the original disk. Can I just go into setup and change boot settings without re-installing.Is there anything else I should know before I attempt to fix this problem? I am tired of using the disk every time I update something or install new program.

Blue Screen While Installing Windows Xp: Changed HDD Config?

Sep 7, 2008

when i get my Dell Inspiron E1705 to boot from my windows xp cd it goes through the screen where xp is trying install all the raid drivers etc.. before i can actually access my two hard drives delete them and create a new partion. right when its about to get to that screen i get the blue screen of death. well i have been reading around i read that going into my bios and changing my hard drive config to sata auto detect will fix my problem.

well i went into my bios and i do not have any sort of options when it comes to my system to hard drive configuration so im assuming if i do not have this feature or option that i have a IDE hard drive not sata. so if this is my situation how do i get my computer to stop going to the blue screen of death before i get to the screen where i can delete my partion

New HP Laptop Which Had Windows 7 Pre-installed / Tried Installing XP / Blue Screen Of Death

Apr 23, 2010

Have a new HP laptop which had Windows 7 pre-installed. I couldn't get on with it so I tried installing XP but all I got was the "Blue Screen of Death" telling me that Windows had detected an error and had shut down. I tried again with the same result so I tried installing Linux (Ubuntu). This went on fine and so I tried XP again. Still the blue screen of death. XP will not install and I would be grateful for any help anyone can give to an oldie.

Installing Acting Weird - Installing Windows Server 2003

Dec 20, 2006

I install Server 2003 Standard SP1 downloaded and installed on a PII 400, 256Mb RAM with IIS, ASP.Net 2.0, SQL server 2000 SP4, Mysql 5, and PHP5, and all without a single hitch...too good to be true. I went ahead and tried on what will be my server PIII600, 512 MB RAM, First try, Server 2003 couldn't find a file when installing, retried and it worked. Downloaded SP1 and when I was extracting it said "file is corrupt", downloaded 4 more times with same result. reformatted and reinstalled 5 more times and cannot get past "file is corrupt" on SP1 and sometimes extracting the .Net 2.0 installer got the same error. I swap all hardware with PC from first try (except RAM, Mobo, CPU, CDROM) with no change. Win98 and XP installed fine on the second PC just can't get server 2003

Blank Screen Freeze Up Before Splash Screen. Safe Mode Works

Oct 7, 2007

Very similar to the following problem but i do not have a raid, and it seems that this PC has a raid and i don't, plus it was never really determined what the actual solution was.

http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt...oot-black.html


The basics: XP Professional Boot up screen, right before the windows loading screen, or direct after the F8 Menu if you hit "Start Windows Normally..." it will just lock up, no HDD activity, blank screen. now BSOD, nothing.

All 3 safe mods work fine.

Ran chkdsk /r in recovery.
Ran proper fixboot procedure.

Went into safe mode and checked the event viewer.

The only concerning message i got was: The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
AmdK8
Fips
nod32drv

Formatting really isnt an issue since i can back up anything i need through safe mode. However its just the fact that the Windows gremlin has struck me again and i must defeat it once more.

I highly doubt this is a hardware issue as it is more of a driver/software issue.any help?

IE6 Blank Popup Windows

Nov 30, 2004

This one has stumped me but I believe the cause is related to the million versions of security dlls MS has created pre-and post sp2.

The symptoms:

Linked popups in IE generate a blank window.

Event viewer property pages do not open Services property pages do not work
Javascript "A disk error has occurred during a read operation"
Firefox opens the window but also adds a second blank one for a popup
Links in outlook emails open fine in new window
AOL webmail works correctly new window with email in it

Since this behavior arrived out of the blue and is specific I believe some proximate events were:

Install and de-install Pluck (RSS browser tool)
Install and de-install Java V1.5 SE
AOL homepage saying it was upgrading (AOL mail does work)

To resolve this I have:

Used Iefix to deinstall reinstall IE
Updated to all fixes sans sp2
run sfc /scannow
downloaded current scripting engine from MS
re-registered all suggested dlls for ie6
run current Macafee on everything
gone through MS knowledgebase

I did find two other users having the same problem with an extensive list of possible resolutions, none of which have worked.

Settings That Windows Always Appear In The Border Of Monitor

Jul 1, 2005

I've got my taskbar on top of my screen. Works nice, controls all on top decreases mouse moves.But one thing is frustrating. Some applications always have their title bar under (behind) the taskbar. Therefore I have to resize and move the window to have them with the title bar just below the taskbar.Is it possible to make programs/OS remember the window locations so it will be under the taskbar when I startup the program after I shutted it down?Or is there a setting to make windows always appear in the are between he borders of the monitor and below the taskbar

SP2 Gives Blank Screen When Log Off

Dec 1, 2005

There are 2 accounts in my XP Pro SP2 machine, one has admin rights, the other is limited. When I log into the limited account then log off, Windows does not return me to the welcome/login screen, instead it gives me a blank screen (my monitor, which uses DVI, gives me "No signal"). Pressing any key will not wake the computer. The only resort is to press the Reset button. I expect this to be either software or hardware incompatibility.

Randomly I will get a blank white screen, or a white screen with vertical lines. When this happens the only thing I can do is turn the computer off. It has always rebooted successfully and no data has been lost, however it is a great annoyance. I have looked in the event viewer and don't find anything unusual.

Sp2 - Blank Recycle Bin - Screen

Jun 23, 2005

When I open my recylce bin it shows nothing, only a blank screen, as if there were no files in it. But when I click to empty the recylce bin I get the delete confirmation "are you sure you want to delete these 83 items?" If I click yes, the little empty sound plays, but if I empty the bin again I get the exact same delete message. Why can't I see these files and why can't I delete them? Running windows xp with sp2.

Screen Goes Blank Intermittently

Jul 14, 2005

Every so often my screen will go blank for a second or two and then return to normal. This happens whether I am or not logged onto the internet.I am using NVIDEA (whatever that is) and it says it is working properly. I also have a registry cleaner so clear the caches and temp internet files regularly and defray monthly.I have been logged on for 15 mins now and it hasn't (so far) happened but some hours ago it was happening every couple of mins. Could it be some other cache that fills up and causes this?

Update Screen Is Blank

Jun 15, 2005

One of my WinXP PCs all the sudden won't do a windows update. The Microsoft web site is nothing but a blank page. It says "DONE" down in the corner, but leaving it for 5 minutes it still is blank. I try to reboot, reload ,etc, but still nothing. It connects to other pages just fine. I did a view source and it does show html code, so something loaded, but the page just won't display anything. Is there anything I can do besides reinstall windows?
