• Satellite Pro A200 - black screen with a blinking cursor

  Hello

  I'm new to the forum and have a big problem.
  So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

  My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor.
  Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.

  I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Please go into the BIOS settings and check if the HARD drive is listed there.
  The blinking cursor is a typical sign of a malfunction of the HARD drive.
  Eventually the HARD drive is dead and you need to replace it and reinstall the operating system.

  Good luck

• Black screen with cursor environment

  Hello

  My PC is about 2 weeks old and he already has problems starting. When you push the power button, the usual 4 colored dots that form the Windows logo is created, and the text "Starting Windows" is displayed. Then she leads to a black screen with the cursor in the Middle, in most of time mobile. AND IT JUST SITS THERE. I waited 10, 20, 40 minutes and nothing happened. So, I forced a stoppage. The second time worked well, fortunately. This happens almost every day, and it becomes a nuisance.

  The second question is when I managed to connect to Windows and Office looks very good. Suddenly, the monitor would go black and he would say "go to sleep" as if she were to lose the signal. But all cables are secure, and the HP LV2311 monitor is less than one month.

  I do not touch anything inside the pc other than the fans when I went to check if everything was safe. I also installed most of the drivers from the HP Support Web page, virus scans with Kasperky and restore the computer to an earlier time.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

• XP shows the MESSAGE about how to start, but then stops at a black screen with cursor

  Today, instead of start normally, my Dell displays the usual POST screen, then a black screen with a cursor blinking (dash). He is not following the XP splash screen. After the machine is turned off and restarting, I pressed F2 repeatedly and eventually got to the configuration of the system. Then I pressed ESC and exit, and the machine starts normally on the desktop. This has happened 3 times since. Social site from Microsoft suggests that the master boot record has been damaged, or that the NTLDR file may be missed. Anyone know how to check this?

• Windows starts, but does not charge not (black screen with cursor)

  [Sorry for the long post, but I feel the need to explain my situation]

  I have the following problem:

  I turn on my PC, and Windows shows it is normal loading screen, then it goes in a completely black screen, with just the mouse in the middle. By the size of the cursor, I can say that it is in a low resolution, probably 800 x 600 (compared to my usual 1920 x 1080). I am able to movements of the mouse, but with no particular purpose without something to click on. No other keyboard input seems to work, except for press SHIFT 5 times, which shows the keys dialog box to self-retaining (with just 'yes' or 'No' options, no other connection); and Windows key + U, which shows the ease of access Center. CTR + Alt + Del does NOT work.

  So far, that's what I tried (in chronological order):

  1. Start in Safe Mode, Safe Mode with network, safe mode with command prompt Mode, start low resolution video, last known good configuration: all give the same result as to start normally.
  2. Repair of your computer:
     1. Startup Repair: find the registry errors (I realized and fixed this more later on)
     2. System Restore: did not find any previous restore points (I know with certainty that there is, I took the habit of making regular restore points).
     3. Windows memory diagnostic: not found error.
     4. Command prompt:
        1. Ran the command chkdsk /f r, has no error report.
        2. Ran sfc/scannow: I don't remember the exact report, but he asked to restart the computer to complete the repair of the problems. I rebooted and ran the new order for the same result.
        3. Forced the scan with: sfc/scannow damaged = c: \ /offwindir = c:\windows, concluded and repair errors, not always not load windows.
  3. Ran Dell Diagnostics start, found no errors.
  4. Startup Repair ran found once again the registry errors. I found the solution to this in a forum for Microsoft Help ( answers.microsoft.com/.../f77d5355-b8be-41d6-af24-cae994e1768f ) and fixed the problem. I rebooted, but the problem persists.
  5. Startup Repair does not detect now no error. I tried restoring the system again, we find 2 restore points dated AFTER the beginning of my problem. I decided to restore it in any case, but none of them worked.
  6. I ran Windows Defender in offline mode:
     1. Quick scan: and found 2 threats and remove.
     2. Full system scan: found 4 more threats, removed 2 of them, the other two could not be removed because they were in an ISO file.
  7. I've tried steps 1, 2 and 3 with no luck.

  With every step, I am aware that I am closer to having to reinstall Windows, then I decided to see if I could still access my HD to save my personal files. I did a live Linux CD (with Ubuntu), but I have a problem of mounting the readers, because they are in a RAID0 configuration. "sudo dmraid s" gives the following error: "ERROR: Sie: number of devices in RAID wrong value"isw_dbdffjficc_ARRAY0"[1/2] on/dev/sdb.

  Important details:

  I changed my graphics about 4 months ago (a 750ti of Nvidia GTX for an ATI Radeon HD 6450), and told me that I can run short with the power supply. The new card requires a minimum of 450W, and I think that my diet is 460W. This may or may not have something to do with this question, I have no idea.

  My 2 hard drives of 500 GB RAID0 configuration has brought me a lot of problems of the day 1. One of the HARD drive would be randomly (I am able to hear a clicking sound different when this happens) failure and the computer would break. At the start, he would ask a boot device. The Dell boot utility would then recognize only 1 readers, but would end without errors. After a reboot or two, everything would be fine and would be boot windows normally (apart from the usual error recovery screen) with no sign of corrupted data or anything. As I said, it happened are the arrival of my PC, but restarting a couple of times still attached. From now on, the two HD seems to work very well, the Dell utility recognizes two of them and found no errors in one of them, and I can access any directory from the command prompt.

  Is there anything else I should try before reinstalling Windows?

  Before the installation, I really wish I could recover my files (I have important documents of the College), is it possible to do this?

  Sorry again for the very long post (and for any errors of language, English is not my native language) and thanks in advance.

  Since you have not yet had your data readers. I recommend a Windows installation without formatting the drive... I don't like this solution, but at this point, you have probably tried everything.

  Use a reinstallation of Windows 7 installation DVD, make sure that you select...

  Select custom: Install Windows only (Advanced)

  

  If you do not select one of the route options and everything simply highlight the largest partition and click Next:

  

  Windows will dump all the old Setup files into the Windows.old folder

  

• Black screen with a blue glow on screen 55 "

  I'm having a problem with the 55 '' LCD Cisco monitors where they randomly have a black screen with a blue glow at the bottom (hanging vertically).  Their power off, then bring him back the photo.  The DMP continues to play their content, and they are not connected by RS232, so I don't know that it is not orders this way.  We have two side by side, and it is never both at the same time.  It is one or the other, and they seem to alternate.  Last week from the other two, who are in another building and in separate rooms in one room on the other hand, started having this problem also, but they have been in service for a few months more.  Last week, it was one, which is just in front of the person to me, and this morning it was the other.  The oldest of them is just less than a year in the service.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi Michael,

  I know a couple of back issues of customer with 55 '' screens goes black after a while. Best option is that you open a service request in the TAC of revision of the exact firmware running on LCD screens and see if they match a known problem that can be corrected - since I do not believe that there is a patch available in general release.

  Best regards

• I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook. (No DVD player). From the start on the hard drive, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.

  I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook.  (No DVD player).  From the start on the hard drive, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.  The cursor does not type.  For me, maybe I need to reinstall windows 7 and startup tasks are corrupt.  I have my product key genuine for the computer, but no way to get to windows.  How to restore windows on a netbook that won't start?

  original title: Netbook Windows 7 problem

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  Borrow a 32 bit Genuine Windows 7 friends DVD disc if you know someone who has one.

  Make an image of the DVD, you can use a program like ISO Recorder to do.

  If you don't have a Windows 7 DVD to borrow, try to upload a picture:

  You change the content of the. ISO file and delete the ei.cfg file. After having edited burn it to a blank DVD disc or put it on a USB key. Startup, it will reveal all editions of Windows 7, select the Starter edition. More information in the following article on how to change the file ei.cfg

• iPhone 7 more stuck on black screen with the spinning wheel

  How can I fix it? I tried to reset, go into DFU mode, recover from iTunes. Nothing works. I can't use iTunes because he wants me to grant access from my iPhone is not responding. DFU mode doesn't work, the screen does not any combination of seconds I hold down the buttons to. This has happened more than an hour. Should I just wait for the battery to die? Please note that I do not live in the United States or the U.K. or anywhere with an Apple Store, I can take it to.

  Thank you

  Hello! I think that I may have a solution to our problem of the black screen with the circle of rotation.

  I came across this post today because my iPhone all nine 7 (which I've upgraded to the latest ios) also got stuck on a black screen with the circle of rotation. I tried to update some of my apps, when suddenly the screen froze. I clicked once on the home button and the screen become black with the subsequent appearance of the circle of rotation.

  I have tried everything - simultaneously press the home button and power (does not work). connected to itunes to do a restore (it won't let me not because my "find my iPhone" was turned on - but I could not turn off because my phone was insensitive).

  In any case, a very useful Mr. Damon (Senior Advisor to Apple) helped me via chat to solve the problem.

  Here's what I did:

  1. make sure that your iPhone is disconnected from the socket or the computer.

  2. hold the POWER button and the VOLUME DOWN button at the same TIME. If it works, the screen should turn off almost immediately.

  3. connect your iPhone to the computer. (when I have connected to the computer, my iPhone automatically on and was ready to be reused).

  The steps below are for those whose iPhones did not turn with the above steps. The following steps are designed to allow you to disable remote your 'find my iPhone', so you can do a manual restore from iTunes.

  4. go to www.icloud.com.

  5. click on Find iPhone

  6. given that the phone is turned off already, he won't be able to find it. On the top bar, click DEVICES.

  7. click on your iPhone.

  8. click on "delete account".

  9. go into your itunes and do a restore.

  I did have to do steps 4 to 9 more, because as I said, my iPhone automatically activated after step 3.

  This really worked for me. I hope this works for everyone else too! Have a great day!

• MacBook (2010) starts with black screen with flashing Apple logo

  I recently got ahold of a Macbook Pro 2010 running very slow so I did a reinstall of the operating system (which was a living nightmare, Macintosh is not as easy to manage as it was at the time of PowerPC) once I got to the top and running, I decided to upgrade to the latest version of El Capitan (an update (not an upgrade I already had a version out there) once I rebooted and let the computer do its thing he began to start up normally, but after finishing the progress bar, he went to a black screen (with the screen still on) that flashed the boot from time to time Apple logo. I forced shut down the computer and start in safe mode with success (that's how I'm typing this post now).

  Thanks in advance.

  When you reinstalled, did you remove any third-party system before reinstalling.

  A Mac that runs in Mode without failure, but are generally not normally indicates some incompatible system changes.

• Windows 10 boots and stuck on the black screen with high CPU

  Hello

  I have a MBP 15 "mid 2015 16G with AMD R9 M370X i7.

  I've been running bootcamp with Windows 10 installation for about a month now without any problems.  However, yesterday 10 Windows started and has been blocked in a black screen (before any screen logo or connection win) with the CPU works hard and hot.

  1. I tried to restart some time hold button / stop and start with the option key, key and then selecting the windows bootcamp partition but it drove the same black screen with CPU hot work in the background.

  2. I can always start OSX fine during this period.

  3. I tried to leave in the black screen for a good 10 minutes, but it does not change and the MBP gets really hot.

  4. I tried clearing NVRAM with Boot option + command + P + R

  5 I can't in Windows 10 safe mode using F8 or FN + F8 after you select windows to boot manager (starting with the down option).  Am I missing something here?

  I don't have a copy of Installer windows 10 with me right now unless someone can tell me how to create one under OSX.

  I searched on the internet forum and apple, but have not found a solution that works for me.  Many speak of win10 black screen with cursor showing, but my question is just a black screen with no cursor.

  Someone at - it other ideas besides reinstall Windows 10?

  You have a black screen with or without power adapter, both? If 10 Windows does not start correctly three times, it should bring up the recovery console. Windows automatic updates are enabled? You have created/activated Windows system restore points?

• Black screen with blinking cursor after the passage in MSC mode

  I followed the recommendation to disable startup secure in the Bios then move the UEFI Bios to the CSM. But when I go to set up what I see is a black screen with a stable cursor in it. And it doesn t go in the Bios.

  The black screen remains.
  I turn off the laptop and once again now, but I still have a black screen with a cursor that is stable and that s it.

  It's like that and it doesn t go to windows even go into the Bios, I can t.
  What should I do?

  Help, please...

  Hello

  After the passage of the CSM and disabling secure boot UEFI mode, you will not be able to boot from the HARD disk as the installation of Windows 8 requires secure boot and the mode of the UEFI.

  Now you can boot from the disc or other media bootable (USB flash key) to install the Windows 7 system.

  I guess you've made these changes installed Windows 7. Right?

  By the way: what model of laptop you have exactly?

• Satellite X 205-SLi3 - black screen with the mobile mouse at startup

  I have a computer laptop X 205 - Sli 3 satellite, which is a little more than a month and running windows Vista. (let me know if the exact specifications make a difference)

  Yesterday morning my laptop was working fine, I arrested him at home because I need to take to work with me to get some files there. However, when I tried to turn it back on all I got was a black screen with cursor mouse mobile white dead center. I saw other posts with similar problems, but no solutions.

  Loads everything up as normal at the beginning: I get the Toshiba load screen (this allows me to make changes to the boot from there with F2, F8, F12 or, but none seems to have no effect) and I get the little green loading bar of Microsoft just before the screen blinks a few times and then turns black except for the white mouse. The touchpad, Capslock and scroll lock keys * are * admissible, but the function keys and Ctrl + Alt + Delete to do * not * work. There is no way to stop the laptop at this point without maintaining the power button.

  I tried to start in safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, only to get exactly the same result after Windows loading bar. (only a lower resolution on this beautiful Virgin high-def screen mouse cursor). I activated the boot record, nothing, I tried to start with the "last known good configuration", nothing.

  I tried windows repair options: repair system, System Restore (it * was * a windows update just before restore point in my laptop screwed up and I m wondering if that has something to do with it because it was the first time the computer was turned off since the auto update installed... but get an older restore point does not help) , as well as the windows memory diagnostic tool. Everything is displayed normally but still black screen after the loading bar Microsoft...

  I also tried the debug mode, and directory services restore mode just for the heck of it - each time the black screen of death.

  I even put in the Toshiba recovery disc and put my laptop to boot from the CD rather than the HD (it gives me the same options by pressing F8 and go to repair are starting only I didn't have to put my admin password)

  The only thing I can think that I n t done is format my whole hard drive, I know that this is not always a solution, and I prefer to keep all my school and work files if possible. Fortunately I am able to get into the command prompt BACK and some of the most important things am copy on a USB key, but I'll still probably lose all my programs and larger files.

  Someone had a similar problem?
  If so, what was the solution?
  I would call all technical support, but I won't have time until after the new year to spend on the phone and I have a feeling that their solution will be to format and use the recovery disc.

  Man, such an expensive machine and then all this work of wouldn because of some software sh... So, if you have backed up your most important files, then, I would _recommend_ you to recover your machine. Won´t solve you anything just trying to find the error, believe me, you'll go nuts.

  Just put the recovery in the drive and start the process of "delete-all-my-programs-but-protect-my-nerves-and-make-everything-OK".
