  Hello

  Here is the complete troubleshooting tool. Make sure to run the system restart, then SFC/scannow tool
  and chkdsk /f /r (CheckDisk) from the command to a startup disk.

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel
  -Double click - Driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - device Manager - map - graph
  then right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  is CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and END PROCESS on it.
  then on the tab Applications - lower right - new task - the type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is
  accessible by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all hotfix is usually a hit or miss
  base. That there is no information on a black screen as there is just a blue screen
  adds to the difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect.
  You can try a google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these
  cover a wide field of efforts.

  Mod edit: System model added to the front of the subject line to improve visibility / clarity.

  Hello, welcome to the forums.

  This may seem to me like your monitor hardware problem, the best thing to do will be to open a ticket for Lenovo. If the machine is guaranteed that they will cover, otherwise they will charge you. But I know not complete.

  But maybe you can specify what type of movement you made for your black screen, a slight movement of the screen when you move it over the hinges? , or is it when you disconect the laptop power and lift all the computer? What happens if you move slowly? How do you need to move it to the screen turns off?

  Sorry to have more questions. I suggest youcheck the support site and updated the BIOS, power and video just in case drivers drivers.

  Hello

  If you have no splash screen (Dell, Acer, Logo etc.) or instructions at the bottom of the screen to enter the BIOS (F2, delete, etc.) when you start your computer, you have a hardware problem.

  If under warranty, contact the manufacturer. If it is not under warranty, contact a repair shop, local.

• Dell Optiplex 3020 - the black screen after dell logo (happened after windows updates froze at halfway and systems were restarted)

  We had windows updates run on all our systems of windows 7 in our medical center.  13 or so of our 3020 s Optiplex froze for eight hours about in a State of "install updates 1 of 24".  I have all them turned off and restarted units.  Once units have been restarted, they gave the Security windows startup or start-up option normally.  Those who had selected the option to 'start normally' would display the logo dell at startup, then click on a completely black screen (all devices still in market and monitors recording an active signal even if no picture).   Those started in safe mode w/o networking, loaded in safe mode.  I rebooted the machine in safe mode, and they all started out in windows without problem.

  For systems that go completely black after the dell logo.  I am able to F2 in the BIOS, I can run diagnostics from BIOS and I can't F12 in boot options, but I cannot F8 or SHIFT + F8 mode without failure or fact start in safe mode, please come under early start options.

  Anyone happen to know a way to launch a system of 3020 optiplex in safe mode without the use of F8, SHIFT + F8, go through msconfig or remote access to the registry (because I can not remote in the system on the network)?

  Maybe I can put the hard drive in a dock and change the registry in this way?  But can I change the potentiometer to force secure boot? or is it not possible to make a bcdedit to it as an external drive, install it in his camera and force it to safe boot the next time, he is running?

  Any ideas or suggestions would be very appreciated.

  Hello

  No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
  are a few others.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
  Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
  Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

  Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead
  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windows-computer

  --------------------------------------------------------------

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.
  ALT + DELETE - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is available by
  repeatedly tapping F8 as you start. CTRL + SHIFT + ESC also begins the Task Manager.

I tried Startup Repair with Vista disc, and he says that it's been fixed, but still does not start. I've done it many times. I tried to let the part installation that moves the windows to the windows.old and creates a new copy of windows, and this did not fix it. I tried hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL in the black screen and this causing the laptop to reboot.

  If anyone has any ideas, maybe something, I may have missed. I tried almost everything people have posted here. I wouldn't completely re - install if I have to.

• monitor gets black screen

  My monitor guard rethink a black screen when I turn on my computer, basically when I turn it on I see start for half a second, then I get the black screen while my monitor is always on

  Now, I recently built a computer, put it a few days ago the same thing happens, I didn't install anything don't not even windows 7 yet, but when I turn on the computer I get the black screen again, I can not install windows

  My brother and his friend think it is the graphics card, but when I built my new computer black screen continued to occur. If I turn my screen I can see my screen for half a second, and then it just goes black again.

  Yes I checked the cables for the monitor, I have even plugged into my laptop, and the same thing happened to the monitor

  So I was wondering... What is the cause of the problem? my brother think that theres something wrong with the new parts, I think it's the monitor that is causing the black screen and I have to buy another... What is it?

  Hello

  Since the monitor displays the same black screen after connecting to a laptop, this might be a problem with the monitor. Contact the manufacturer of the monitor on this issue.

  Start the computer in safe mode (press F8 continuously immediately after power and don't worry beeps when you press the button) and let it boot without a network.  Once there right click on the desktop and then click Properties.  Click settings and the value of the monitor mode (640 X 480) VGA or SVGA (800 X 600).  Accept the changes and restart the computer.  You should have a mediocre screen, but you should see it now.  Download and install the appropriate drivers for your video card in the laptop to the web site of the manufacturer of the laptop.  Install the drivers and then you should be able to set the display of the laptop to the correct native resolution for your computer monitor (must be in the documentation of the laptop).
