computer goes black at startup
I encounter a weird problem with my start. My screen displays Windows XP loading... and then nothing. The strange thing is that if I boot in safe mode fine, so I know that's not my monitor. I doubt it's my graphics card for the same reason.
Does anyone have an idea wtf that is happening to my pc?

Screen goes black during startup and start normally
Hi, I booted up my laptop and before something happens comes a black screen for 30 seconds and after 30 seconds, then it goes to start normally. After that, before the Welcome screen, sometimes another black screen for 30 seconds before the welcome password appears. Is this normal? Windows 7.
Hello
There may be no problem. Don't forget the external devices can affect the boot process.
First check the Boot order in the BIOS to make sure the hard drive is defined 1.
/ Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start so look at the screen.
=========================================================
Check using the start-up in minimal mode and other methods to see if there is a problem.

Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party

Why my desktop computer goes black when I connect to computer
My office is vlack instead of my wallpaper
If you have a Windows XP * PROFESSIONAL * sticker on your machine? Not Windows XP Home Edition or any other edition?
If it's Windows XP Professional and you do not have this sticker with the 25-character product key - you can legitimize your copy of Windows XP.
Visit this web page:
Update your Windows product key... and select the "Windows XP" tab and follow the directions. The 25-digit product key you need is on this sticker.
Come back and let us know if this has been fruitful.
My suggestion is to uninstall this version of Microsoft Office. A problem with the w a r e z software out there version, is that you can not be sure it was not tampered with and is not by sending all of your keystrokes to a place. Maybe the information gathered, it is perhaps not. The other obvious issue is that you don't know how it will react to the patches that might be needed if she will be stable or if she will still continue to work.
While not the perfect - substitute OpenOffice works and is free. You will find programs to students and others where Microsoft Office is much more affordable.

When I turn on the computer of gateway, the machine starts and the initial window logo starts and runs for about five seconds. Then the screen goes black instead of blue and stays black for about 10 seconds. A 'Power SAVE MODE' appears. The machine is dead to all orders. I have to stop by pressing the off button. I can turn back and the F10 key to get in Mode safe mode with networking.
I tried to reinstall Windows XP original but it would erase my files. I tried to restore the last good configuration also knowledge. That did not work.
The change came after a Windsows update. I have McAfee security and I asked Windows but could not use due ot a conflict. -C' is all this bad start. Clues? I use Negear. No change when I hooked directly either.
Botton line, I can run in SafeMode with networking; but it is slow and I can't make alll I have to do. What does not load Windows?

I said the video card is corrupted or is overheating.
The screen goes black randomly. Sometimes 2 minutes playing or until hours later. Sometimes it will not.Connect the computer to another monitor. If the problems are gone, replace the original monitor. If the problems persist, then you have hardware problems on your computer. You can troubleshoot the hardware yourself:
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot
This includes exchanging the video card for a well-known work.
On tests of hardware failures often alleged swapping parts by parts checked. If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

Hello.
Whenever we start to use our computer, the screen goes black and the message 'Auto adjust is in Prgress'. Then, all of our screen is small and all the icons and pages are smaller than before.
I tried restoring the system that works and that gets our screen back to normal but every day that this Auto setting is coming and we can't seem to stop it.
Any help would be appreciated... Thank you
Try this:
Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.
Then:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution
Change the screen resolution
Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.
See you soon.
