Envy Touchsmart Windows 8.1 update 15-j05cl - black screen

Have a HP Touchsmart, envy 15-j057cl. I can't upgrade to Windows 8.1. I did the following:

1 installed all windows updates.

2 went to HP support for machine page and installed all the drivers.

3. don't run Windows - no problem identified compatibility Manager.

4 deleted Norton preinstaled. No antivirus software is enabled.

5. attempt to update the Windows store.

6. black screen.

Back in Windows 8. Windows has reported various attempts through error messages, including:

0xc1900101 - 0x3000D

Then-

1. drivers for bluetooth and Ralink wifi disabled

2 attempt 8.1 windows update of windows store

3 black Screen

Back in windows 8

I tried very hard to make sure I've gotten all the latest drivers and BIOS, including the chipset drivers. I have not installed any other software. I also disabled any driver that I can not have everything while the update fails.

I need to get back to work. Any thoughts?

Thank you...

The saga continued, but it had a happy ending.

On the advice of the HP support, I uninstalled the driver Intel HD, booted safe mode and then tried the Windows 8.1 update. This time the update completed, but he returned to the black screen when I tried to install version 8.1 of Intel HD display driver. At this time, of course, it wasn't able to go back to Windows 8.0, so I had to completely reinstall the operating system from scratch. Good thing, I had all my saved data.

After this experience, I gave up for a while, but he contacted the HP support to express my displeasure.  I went to a case manager, who contacted me the HP SmartFriend support.

Today, we did an update of the BIOS. This new version of the BIOS F.53, just released on March 10, 2014 (after I had made my last attempt to make the update). After updating the BIOS, I have successfully completed update 8.1 Win. I then checked to make sure I had the latest version of the Intel HD Display Adapter driver and I did. Actually, the pilot that is displayed on the page for the driver for my machine was older than the version I have installed. So far so good.

It seems that the solution to the problem was for HP to do a BIOS update.

    I purc hased and installed 16 GB of RAM in both slots of memory available. Only 8 GB is visible (updated 4 GB). The HP Envy Sleekbook Maintenance and Service Guide HP Envy TouchSmart c03599931.pdf says on page 2 that the system supports 16 GB of RAM. When I go into the BIOS Setup, I can not change the amount of memory, which only shows 8 GB. How can I see all the 16GB?

  • Windows Update: 1 or several updates made a black screen after restart

    So I have this problem for like 3-4 months ago... You all a long history, he gets to that: an update of specefic is originally that when I restart, the computer still works, but the screen is all black. Not even a light down there!
    Someone knows this problem?
    The update that I am sure that all this is cause:
    KB929729 (a security update for Microsoft .NET Framework, version 1.1 SP 1) - I think this is the one, but could be one of these schools:
    KB957000 KB952714, KB929735 - all these are just regular updates for vista x 64-vista systems

    I have the laptop to fix where I bought it. They said that the problem has been resolved, but it didn't. Well, the computer worked as if after I came, but after a Windows Installer update, the system crashed again with black screen.
    Fortunately, I was able to use an ERD to do a system restore to before installing the update.

    MY LAPTOP SPEC. :
    Windows Vista, home Edt. (SP1 has not been installed now, but had SP1 when the 1st problem started)
    Processor Intel Core Duo CPU 2.4 GHz
    4 GB of Ram
    NVIDIA Geforce 9650 GT

    OK, I'm pretty sure it's KB929729 (a security update for Microsoft .NET Framework, version 1.1 SP 1)
    She is marked as an important update, hope that I can live without it?

  • HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b100: "Press the ESC key" black screen TouchSmart 15-b100sa

    Hello

    I'm helping a friend with his computer because his son decided to play with it and now it is unclear what steps it took to create this problem.

    Initially, he asks a password on a black screen before opening the BIOS screen.

    Someone in this forum helped me with this problem and told me to try a code which worked perfectly.

    After that, I get a black screen that repeated me "press ESC for Boot Menu".

    If I press this button, a message appears saying "ESC...". Starting break"and stays there for about 2 minutes, which I think it's a lot of time to open the start menu to enter the BIOS and change the settings.

    Does anyone have any idea of what's going on?

    The computer is a HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b100sa Sleekbook

    I would appreciate if someone could help with this problem.

    Thank you

    Hi @jc4 ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion TouchSmart Sleekbook 15-b100 and issues with maybe an update. I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You could restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings.

    Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

    You can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop.

    When running a system restore note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices because they can cause problems.

    Please let me know how it goes.

  • 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.

    Hello

    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.

  • Said Dell Inspiron 7537 is tested on Windows 10 but the upgrade fails - black screen

    Hello all, Hello support,

    Dell Backup software and restore proposed to me that I have upgraded to Windows 10. I like this idea.

    I checked my ultrabook on the DELL Web site. Inspiron 7537 is tested (proudly said Dell) so I should be able to update my OS without flaw.

    I did 2 upgrade to Windows 10 attempts, both failed in the same way.

    It passes through several stages, but at some point, a black screen stuck and only power OFF button turns the laptop computer do something (disable). In the two attempts after 2 restarts, the installation process is back from my Windows 8.1 operating system

    Why DELL say it is tested and I can't upgrade - turns-does not work.

    I have not contacted the DELL forums on this subject (because the DELL technical support in my country told me it is Microsoft Business) If IT WAS NOT for THE FACT that DELL 'advertising' me Windows 10 and claims my laptop is ready to do the upgrade.

    Please help and explain.

    Thank you in advance.

  • Why Windows 7 setting would deliver a black screen with the cursor visible before you load the Office?

    I had a very unusual event this morning.  I am running Windows 7 on a desktop computer.  On startup, I reached the login screen and proceeded to connect to my name.  Prior to loading the desktop computer, however, I was in a black screen with the cursor visible.

    1. I am able to load successfully under another user ID.
    2. I am able to boot in safe mode (with networking) using my own code.
    3. I did a system restore with no luck.  The problem persists.
    4. I don't think it's a driver issue because it would affect the two IDS and who does not.
    5. I have a touch screen and the white slider moves even in the place where I touch.  (what works)

    Issues related to the:

    1. what "custom" setting would result in a shift of the display of this type?

    2. If I go to Windows 8, will I have the opportunity to 'reset' my display options?  Or it will automatically upgrade to the wrong setting?

    Thank you.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your solution.

    The problem turned out to be the result of a combination of events.

    1. I did a change of media display a week ago but never restarted.
    2 MS did the periodic security update that rebooted the machine overnight.
    3. the update may have actually been in the middle of the installation when I got to my machine in the morning.
    4. when the screen has not responded, I restarted manually by pressing the power button.

    Ultimately, I was able to access Task Manager and found several instances of several components running.  When I "force stop" several of them, the office completed and I was in business.

    I still have the wide black border around my 'Live TV' screen in Windows Media Center, but that's another question for another time.

    Once again, thank you for the time spent to help me.

    Best regards
