Black screen with white cursor at the end of the New Installation

I try to perform a new installation of Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit) on a Dell Inspiron 1545. The hard drive was completely wiped out and I don't have the original disks (I use a Vista CD from another computer Dell). Installation is proceeding normally up to the phase of "Complete installation" where it crashes for almost an hour and then goes to a black screen with a white cursor.

I have tried all the following suggestions (found here and on other sites online):

Reset the BIOS has no effect.

By pressing SHIFT 5 times has no effect.

CTRL + Alt + Delete has no effect.

Rename to the event log file has no effect.

Remove one of the memory modules if the computer has only 2 GB installed has no effect.

Running CHKDSK finds no error, and has no effect.

The attempt to start safe mode causes hang crcdisk.sys.

Try a normal boot hangs at the screen loading w / loading scroll bar "stuttering".

Startup Repair runs for hours with no results (I said to cancel after you let it run overnight only to find it still 'work' in the morning)

Does anyone have suggestions more?

Thanks in advance! : D

Dell Media you are currently using may not have drivers appropriate for your PC.

Contact Dell technical support (have your number of ready service if they ask for it) and ask for the "recovery media" to your specific model number. There may be a small fee involved.

  • 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?

  • HP Pavilion laptop g6: black screen with white cursor, connect

    My laptop is a few years old and today after I log in, I get a black screen with a white cursor. I read a few threads on the forums and have tried to take the battery out and pressing the button for 30secs-2mins (tried twice). I can access everything ok in Mode safe, so made a malware bites scan & clean registry. No maleware was found and I rebooted, but always the same black screen when you connect in normal mode.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    As it works OK in safe mode, then it's SOMETHING that is loaded at startup which is screw up the display.  Could be a runtime program. could be drivers, might be a Service.

    No easy way to tell.

    Demarrer start in safe mode, type MSCONFIG in the start area.  When that opens, turn off ALL startup items. Reset.

    The PC now work, if one (or more) of these numbers - and you have to go through a tedious process of re-enabling them one at a time until the PC fails again.  The last of them that you re-activated was the problem.

    Here is a tutorial on how to do it: http://www.howtogeek.com/74523/how-to-disable-startup-programs-in-windows/

    If the PC still does not work with all startup items disabled, then return to msconfig and click on the Services tab.  Check the hide services Ms.  Then turn off half superior Services.  Reset.

    If the problem is resolved, you will need to go through a tedious process of reactivating a Service at a time until you find the one that is the problem.

    If the problem is not resolved, turn off the other half of the services.  Repeat as above.

    No easy way to do...

    Good luck

    Hello

    1. when exactly this problem?

    2 did you change on your computer?

    I suggest you remove any external devices.

    I also suggest you insert the DVD and try to install windows 7.

    I also suggest you to go BIOS and select CD/DVD boot as the option your priority and check.

    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    I suggest you to follow the links and check out how to install windows 7.

  • Boots Vista black screen with white cursor and nothing else (Black Screen of Death)

    After a download from Microsoft update last week, my system has rebooted. He first had a screen blue error, rebooted, reported a disk error and automatically run CHKDSK. Since then, the system has started a black with white slider screen and nothing else. This happens at startup options (Normal, safe, safe with the last command good known configuration). Not even sticky keys would come to the top. CTRL-Alt-Delete, Ctrl-Alt-Esc and all other keys has nothing did. Even with a right click.

    I searched all over the web for solutions. I found (and tried) several over the past week, but nothing has worked.

    Here's what I tried...

    F8 held key on boot to the top and entered the startup recovery. Ran of recovery. Initially so found of disk errors. Those fixed. Then he said he could not repair the system and reported two pilot errors.

    Tried system restore. He said that I had no restore points (even if I know that I had before).

    With the help of recovery options, I went to the command prompt. Asked to RegEdit and load the Software hive. Checked the connection entry Windows NT; made sure, it has been set to explorer.exe

    The system, checked RpcSs Key hive. Already the NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService value

    Renamed event connects winevt and not create the Logs folder

    Removed the hard drive. Attached to another system (as slaves), and the registered file permissions. They have screwed everything up. The fixed file permissions and drive put back in original system.

    Œuvres self-retaining keys now. Do not, however, as my sticky keys doesn't have a link to configuration.

    Went back into recovery startup via the F8 key at startup. Now, when I run start recovery, it says that everything is going well and there is no problem.

    I have download the hotfix from article 977675 Microsoft, but I don't know how I can apply it without being able to get into windows. I would like to contact MS e-mail or chat support, but I can't get the product ID without being able to connect (frustrating talk).

    I would like to reinstall OS, but HP does not provide an installation disc with their systems (only a full restore partition). My system is backed up (with the exception of the Windows folder), but I really don't want to have to make a full recovery, as I have a lot of specialized programs and settings that would probably take me a week to re - install and re - set.

    Anyone have any new ideas?

    Hello

    Here's my usual BlackScreen convenience store, because it may be that you haven't tried
    or if you have access you might be able to come back and start some of them.

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

    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.

    Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
    CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
    on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
    by tapping F8 as you start several times.

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
    That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just 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 efforts.

  • HP G72-227 WM won't boot to Windows 7. Goes to a black screen with a cursor.

    My laptop is a little older than a year.  Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium. When you try to start, F11 to get to Recovery Manager does not work. It's just a black screen with a cursor.  The version of the BIOS F.17. Conducted tests of diagnostics and everything going on.  Lost my boot drive. Borrowed from a friend but it is not going to fix the problem. When you run the Startup Repair tool, it is said that if you have recently attached a device to this computer, such as a camera or portable music player, remove it and restart your computer.  There is no device connected but it keeps coming back.  System Restore has tried the borrowed boot disk and it does not restore the message gives that an unspecified error occurred during system restore. (0x8000ffff).

    Hello

    If you still have the startup disk that you have borrowed, boot from it again, select repair your computer and choose the command prompt.  When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

  • black screen with no cursor or available bios

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop, which seems to agree, but has a black screen with no cursor.  The fan runs for a few seconds and flashing lights show near the top right the keyboad and cap lock button.  I pulled the hard drive and tested ok and tried to move the memory with no luck.  I also tried the trick to reset by turning off the power switch for a minute.  I searched this forum and anywhere on the internet that I could find, and all I could gather was that it is not uncommon, but no one seemed to have an answer.   The cmos battery cause this?  I always have one battery to verify, but it's a different style and I have to order a.  This computer is about two years old and with Vista.

  • Since then, when I start the computer, it goes through a few stages starting and then ends with a black screen with a cursor flashing at the top.

    I left by mistake a USB in the port when I restarted my computer (Windows 7).

    If I press ESC during startup and access the start menu, something marked WED... is highlighted and I press on enter and it starts normally.

    How can I get Windows 7 to do a normal boot without having to access the Boot Menu each time?

    Thank you.

    Tried that, but it did not work.  Finally got and IT guy come and it took him 3 1/2 hours to repair.

  • Invalid product key, left my computer with a black screen and a cursor of the mouse on the boot.

    A few days ago, I tried to upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) to Windows 10 using the free update. Installation hung at 84% for 2 hours, then restarted, was unable to recover the installation and then could not get back to Win 7. This left us with a black screen and a cursor of the mouse on the boot. The computer would remain in this State for about 10 minutes and then reboot and repeat.

    Fortunately, or so I thought, I had a few CD Windows installation backup from the back to the era of digital river. So I thought I'd install fresh on my empty partition, copy my files and data, and then format the partition with the installation broken on.

    I did, but now he tells me that my product key is not valid and cannot be activated. The product key came on a real label on the PC when we bought it.

    The key is for X 16-96072. I installed X 17-58997 (Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 with SP1 (u)). I don't know what is the problem with the key? Should I have installed without the (u)?

    One key 25 digits grouped in 5 sequences of 5 characters not X 17-58997.

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once downloaded, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.

    Original title: Windows 7 Home Edition

    Yesterday, my pc only has a black screen with a cursor. I tried to restore on another point but then after starting upwards and put my password, I get the home screen but cannot open any programs. I can't use the USB stick or cd / dvd drive so how should proceed to solve this? I can't put my external modem to make a back up and I really want to fix this without losing all the data on my pc. I can run programs in safe mode and windows installation disc opens in SafeMode as well, however I can't set safe mode.

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Tecra M2 - black screen with blinking cursor

    Hi guys,.

    Im hoping someone out there might be able to help me fix my laptop.
    Ive read a few posts, but not sure they can help me.

    When I swicth on my Tecra M2, I just end up with a black screen with blinking cursor top-left, or I get a screen filled with a mix of 0 and 1.
    Sometimes the home TOSHIBA screen appears with the boot options, other times it doesn't.

    I can't boot from a CD and it does not start on the HARD drive. Ive took the HARD drive on and the CDROM outside but it does the same thing that suggests to me that its does not get via the BIOS as far as the boot sequence.

    This sounds like failure of the BIOS for you and you know a way to fix it? Ive tried to take the battery, turn off and start again, but the same thing happens.

    Any advice would be appreicated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The cursor blinking in the upper left corner is known to me.
    I got a same problem or question may be similar.
    My laptop (from another manufacturer) didn t start but only the cursor appeared.

    In my case, the HARD drive was dead, and the operating system could not be loaded.
    In your case, the HARD drive may be dead, but usually the laptop must be able to boot from the CD/DVD drive so I m wondering why you are not able to boot from the disk
    However, the first of all what you need to check if the HARD drive is listed and recognized by the BIOS.

    Press ESC, then F1 to access the BIOS.
    You can also set the BIOS to default settings too.

    If the HARD drive is not recognized, you should replace the HARD disk.

    Next step i think I can reinstall the memory but don't really want to start taking it to bits.

    I also have a large amount of data I really want out of the hard drive. any suggestions?

    Any help or suggestions much appreciated

    Hello

    To be honest, for me it looks like a Windows problem. Maybe something messed with the registry and Windows can start t more

    I think that you must restore windows recovery disk Toshiba you wrote that you have tried to load the restore disc but what happened after that? Can start the installation of recovery? If so, you should do this.

    Backup, you can do if you buy an external HARD drive enclosure. Remove the HARD drive and install in the case of HARD drive. Now you can connect to another computer.

    Please help with this.

    Hello

    According to your message, the screen of the laptop BIOS is visible and also the Windows screen.
    I think that it s not a hardware problem but a software problem.
    Maybe your operating system is confusing until you think about using the Toshiba Recovery disk and to restore the system?
    I mean you already tried the passage without danger and she didn't so in my opinion, the next step should be the new installation of the OS
