• Get a black screen during the Installation of Windows 8

  Original title: BLACK SCREEN

  OK, I tried 5 times to install windows 8 by using the downloaded Update widows Pro

  I've updated the BIOS and other drivers and the only issue is to use the upgrade wizard is UEFI is not compatiable that shouldn't be a problem anyway
  So here's the BLACK SCREEN problem, I get all along to install past loan, after adjustment of the apparatus, after preparation, all the way to the end and then it gives just black screen until I power it turns off or reset and says windows 8 could not restore windows I get no error code or any hint of why there not everyone had an idea Yes stay with windows 7 is an excellent option, but I would try and brand and make informed decisions.
  I have internet search and it seems to be a common problem for many different reasons - ideas - Ive tried more things ive read without success. Help please

  Hello Kiwivic,

  Thank you for the question!

  I'm sorry to know that have problems you with the Installation of Windows 8. As I understand it, you get a black screen during the Installation of Windows 8.

  I need to ask you some questions to help you best.

  1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  2 are the external devices connected to the computer?

  Method 1: disconnect any external devices (except keyboard and mouse) and then install Windows 8 and check.

  Method 2: Select the edge device devices in device/integrated graphic of BIOS (Basic Input output device) and check.

  Warning: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly. BIOS update should be made only if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

  Reference link provided below for more information:

  Meet us if you encounter any problems with the black screen or any other issue of Windows, and I'd be happy to help you again and try to correct the problem as soon as possible.

  Good day!

• Black screen during the launch of Apple Diagnostics

  Hi people,

  my end of 2013 Mac Pro 6.1 (OSX 10.10.5) takes unusually long to start (a few minutes) since a few days ago.

  Verbose mode must be terribly long to load the boot.efi

  So the first step for me is to run the Diagnostics by Apple to exclude any material based questions.

  But neither pressing "D", nor the network launch base "Alt + D' Apple Diagnostics tool.

  It gives me just a black screen, no matter how many times I press on and wait.

  The monitor is 'active', so some sort of signal goes off, it's just black.

  Does anyone have an idea what is the cause and how to fix it?

  Thanks in advance

  Try the following:

  -Try to reset memory NVRAM/PRAM and SMC

  Subject of memory NVRAM and PRAM

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204063

  -Then disconnect everything except the mouse, keyboard, monitor Ethernet (if used) and starting with the D button depressed power. Best is to use a wired keyboard.

• Black screen with cursor on startup; Could not load safe mode

  Original title: ' black screen of death, white screen, what you want to call different... but then the rest here "

  I am running Windows Vista Home Edition on a laptop Gateway.  I did have problems with the laptop, or Vista, about 3 years I've owned it.  Not until now.  I feel what posters call 'black screen of death'... but the recommended patches are impossible in my situation.  Here's what happens:

  -l' laptop, like others, he is there with a screen empty, no cursor, no pointer, not nothing.  So I restart manually by pressing the power button or removing the power to the system.  The laptop makes the sound 'I'll start up', the hard drive starts, the lights flash and the Gateway logo comes across the screen, and after that... nothing.  The hard drive light will appear on every 20 seconds, for about 5 seconds and then do it again in 20 seconds.  I get nothing beyond that point.  I unplugged everything, nothing helps.  I can access BIOS and boot (F2 and F12) sequence, but no key shortcut, never works.  After trying all the fix (and I work in it!) I thought to h * ll with her, I will insert the reinstallation of the operating system disc and try a restore or repair and if it does not, lost all my files.  So I changed the boot on a CD inserted my disk and hard restarted the laptop.  It starts from the CD, a "loading" bar appears at the bottom of the screen that States "windows installation"... it happens at the end and my mouse cursor shows up, I can move completely and that's it.  A mouse cursor on the black screen of death.  So I can't even boot from reinstall drive!  And no, tap F8 or any other combination of keys keys does nothing.  What can I do short of throw this thing off a high cliff?

  If necessary:

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.

• laptop stops shortly after the start, but works well in safe mode / command after chkdk or ckdsk/r

  Problem 1: There are months, my two year old Toshiba Satellite L655 s5096 started losing charge the battery even when it is plugged.
  Sometimes, the problem was solved by using a different wall outlet. I replaced the battery, but eventually the problem comes back.

  Problem 2: at the same time that the problems loading starts, Windows has stopped booting normally. Sometimes repair or restoration leads to a normal start, but sometimes I run Chkdsk/r (Chkdsk sometimes the only works [!]) Mode through safe mode w/Command Prompt.

  Problem 3: There are two days of problems 1 and 2 reappeared, but a few minutes after that Windows starts, my machine stops, even if I am able to run Wndows in Mode safe mode w/network.

  I am correct in surmising that this isn't a motherboard (hardware) problem? I don't really want to have to replace this machine if I don't have to. Is this a Windows problem? Upgrade to Windows 8 would solve the problem? Or is it the result of the virus that escaped my Avast scans?

  I'll install Windows 8 when I checked my automatic online data storage works.

  Hi Denise,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forum.

  I understand that the computer shuts down shortly after starting. I'll help you with this problem.

  1. what security software is installed?

  2. are you sure the workload problem is not limited to a faulty wall unit?

  3. have you checked with the manufacturer of the computer if it is not a battery problem?

  To resolve this issue, let us try these methods:

  Method 1.

  You can create a new power plan and check if that helps.

  Power plans: frequently asked questions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows7/power-plans-frequently-asked-questions

  Method 2.

  Keep the battery power: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows7/conserving-battery-power

  Method 3.

  You can remove the battery and connect the power cable from the wall cabinet and check. If the computer does not stop after the restart, then it might be a problem with the battery.

  For any question related to Windows, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

• Black screen during the call I phone 6 more

  BBlack screen while on a call to the phone I 6 more

  The screen is supposed to close during a call. As soon as you press it against your ear, the proximity sensor is turning off screen, in order to avoid "plays the numbering" or similar effects.

  If the screen is not active as soon as you lift the phone to your ear, check if the proximity on the top of the screen sensor is not covered by a protective film or the case, if you use one.

  Have you ever tried to force reboot the phone by holding down the button sleep and home for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo comes back again?

  You won't lose data by resetting, but it can cure a few glitches.

  To make sure that it is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any data backup later. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.

  If the phone works again, restore the last backup. If the problem returns, the data backup contains damaged data, causing your issues.

  If this still does not work after that, get the phone checked for hardware problems by visiting an Apple store or Apple authorized service next to your site provider.

  Or contact the Apple Support to send it.

• I have a photosmart b210 which began printing all my black in gray, the color is very well

  My photosmart started printing any black ink in gray scale. the color is fine, but it's boring. I did matenence, such as cleaning the printheads, printer status report, report print quality (and that was even printed in dark gray)... what should I do?

  OK, let me clarify:

  • Black ink is not used when printing on Photo paper, because it is pigmented and not compatible with shiny media.
  • The most likely issue is having the vents blocked as described in the link I gave you a link.  My post in the link "soak the printhead" told to check first the items displayed in the link, that includes details of the ink level checking and vents are clear.
  • Another likely possibility is the use of third party inks.  Using HP replacement ink ink or a third party?
  • If you do not want to follow the suggestions here then Contact HP for warranty repair.  If you use third party, that repairs are not likely to be covered, ink HP accepts no liability for the quality of third party products.

• Vista black screen after the loading bar

  I have the problem that I am assuming that almost all users of Windows Vista have probably experiences - the black screen with the white cursor lonely after the loading bar 'Microsoft Corporation'. Here are the steps that I tried to solve the problem, but have not yet worked:

  • With the help of "last known good configuration" brings back me to the screen and the white slider
  • Go into safe mode which brings back me to the screen and the cursor
  • Activate the video mode low resolution which brings back me to the black screen and a cursor
  • Using Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC to appear during the black screen Task Manager
  • CTRL + Alt + Delete does not work on the black screen
  • I do not have access to the installation CD, as it was preinstalled on the computer

  Yes, as usual, what happened after a windows update - I really should stop waiting for something good to these updates.

  I'm under the original version of Vista Home Premium without service pack - these caused a similar problem, but at least I was able to return the system restore.

  Thank you in advance, I know how useful these forums can be.

  Yes, a new installation of Windows 7 was the way for me. Lucky he composed a back all my documents, however. Thanks for the help all. Unfortunately I have no where near more closely to solve the problem, then when I started.

• Vista 64-bit Black Screen of Death, with just a mobile available slider, the system does not start in safe mode.

  My system worked properly on 25 April and then something happened and now the machine comes back with "Start menu options" but will not start in one of the listed options, modes result in the same outcome.  System also starts on the Vista CD.

  System begins to boot normally, shows the tracer Green Windows at the bottom of the screen, then the mouse pointer appears and moves but the rest of the screen remains black.

  That's it, that's all what he will do.  I checked the settings of the computer and ran the diagnostic tests available and everything seems to go fine and passes all the tests.

  I worked on my own computers for over 20 years and never been stumped before, but I must say this is a first, and I have no idea what to try to do it now.

  Help or direction is appreciated.

  original title: Vista 64-bit Black Screen of Death, with just a mobile available slider, the system does not start in safe mode.

  See if there is a way to tecover clean your data before doing a restore to conditions of factory that will wipe the drive of all.  You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (which you will need to do on another computer).  Starting on this disc and lla should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.

  So since you seem to have no other alernatives, you can try retoring the original factory computer options. However, if it is a hardware problem as could very well be the case, you can still encounter problems after even this drastic step.  Then you will need to consider in a reputable computer repair shop (NOT Geek Squad or or a any of these big store centers) or maybe even go back to the manufacturer for repair.   Check out several options and compare the costs, quality and guaranteed and then make your best decision.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Windows Vista starts with only a black screen with the mouse pointer.

  Saturday, 02/27/10, I left my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1405 E) because I used Studio to produce a couple of videos.  When I got up in the morning, he himself had closed.  I tried to put on normally, and he said: recovery error windows, then on lists: Launch Startup Repair tool and start windows normally.  I tried to do a repair, but it just comes back to the same screen.  When I try to boot normally, it shows the progress on the background as usual bar, but then he comes up to a black screen with a mouse pointer.  When I run one of the many diagnostic tests, it is said that the BIOS cannot find the operating system loader.  I'm pretty adept at computers, but nothing I've tried before reinstalling Vista works.  I have files that I need to keep it on the computer, and only a few of them are saved.  Please help me soon, as I need for my school musical production on Thursday.
