• I only see a black screen with cursor flashing in Windows 10 Boot Camp

  Why Boot Camp is so hard!

  I just reinstall Boot Camp for the second time on my MacBook Pro mid-2012 after I came across this problem the first time. Everything goes through until the drivers install and I restart my Mac after updates, that to have the screen go black.

  Why can I not just have a clean install * sigh *.

  Anyway, I contacted both Apple and Microsoft technical support, but they could not solve my problem. I know that other people seem to have this problem, but I have not seen a coherent solution for it.

  Any suggestion would be great!

  If the screen is black, try to disconnect your power adapter and check if the screen lets connect you. The default brightness may be too low. There are two distinct settings, battery and AC adapter.

  If the problem is related to the drivers, remove the current installation and re-install W10. On the first screen where you select the Bootcamp partition, physically disconnect the network connections and do not connect until Windows is completely installed, you have created an account and bootcamp drivers are fully installed. Once you test, create a Windows system restore point and disable the GPU driver updates.

  See also present on how to control the driver for the specific hardware updates.

• BlackBerry black passport with Led flashing screen cannot reset soft.

  I was shooting video on the SD card when the screen went white after I stopped.  The Red Led will blink once and then 3 times before to return to the model... no response of any kind... I tried a soft reset, but nothing don't get passes, have not tried a factory reset would like to avoid this!

  Now try the power button for 40 seconds. If that fails, connect the device to the pc and see if it will recognize, if so, attempt to backup of the device using the BlackBerry link, after the backup, try to reload the software. Remove the SD also and see if it will start without him.

• HP Pavilion Elite e9220y PC, black screen with blinking underscore.

  Hello. I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9220y with Windows 7. I have a black screen with a flashing underscore.

  I stood and went to the bathroom and came back to this (on fiance mobile atm). If I go, I can do ctrl + alt + delete and get everything except the system recovery... so I made a recovery CD.

  In the recovery CD, I get the options to
  Startup Repair
  System restore
  System Image recovery

  Windows Memory Diagnostic
  Command prompt.

  I have everything but my mouse, screen and keyboard connected. No CD in except for the recovery CD.

  Startup Repair found nothing, so I tried to restore the system... He said it restored to an earlier date, but I get the same screen and the same options... So I tried the following steps:

  Boot from the new rescue CD, select repair your computer and choose the command line. When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

  Bootrec.exe

  bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

  c:

  Boot CD

  BCD attrib s h - r

  Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

  Bootrec /RebuildBcd

  Bootrec /fixmbr

  Bootrec /fixboot

  Remove the rescue CD and try to restart now.

  Above always leads to have the black screen with the underscore flashing with the same options available... I'm so lost...

  If possible, I'd like to back up my files I have. I have plans on my computer that I spent working long hours and lots of family photos. BUT if this is not possible (I have not access to a second round to save the files), then I'm more than willing to start again... I want to just that my computer back... I have not even had it for three years yet.

  So any help to get back on the rails would be greatly appreciated... Thank you in advance.

• Black screen with flashing underscore concerns after removal of Rootkit

  HP Envy laptop (Win 7)
  Microsoft Security Essentials identified the Alureon trojan/rootkit, but could not clean after numerous attempts. I downloaded Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit and it ran. He found and cleaned 3 threats. After completed cleaning, the laptop it will only boot to a black screen with a flashing underscore.

  I can access the boot, BIOS, System Recovery menu, etc. by pressing ESC at startup. However, I can't get into safe mode.

  There is an HP Recovery Manager option in the boot menu (F11) where you can access to Windows system restore, but also a few other options. I tried several restore points. Some boot worked but it is still in the black screen, other has no restore points.

  Thank you

  Hello

  In this case I suggest you select the option 'System of valuation (restore your computer to its original factory State)' - this will reinstall Windows 7, all software drivers and original, and all of the original scores.

  At the beginning of this procedure, you will have the option to backup your files (providing the files have not been corrupted)-this can be done for a connected external HDD or usb flash drives.  A full description of the backup process are under the heading "If you want to back up your personal files, follow these steps to create a back-up" on the following link.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01867418

  Once completed, continue with the Factory Reset.

  **************************************************************

  Once the process is complete recovery, you'll always be able to create your 1 set of recovery on a usb flash drive media - the procedure is detailed in the HP document on the following link.

  Create recovery media - Windows 7.

  Best regards

• Satellite A660 boots up to the black screen with blinking cursor not upper left

  My new Satellite A660-10W sometimes (not always), when turned on, boots up to a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left. If I stop by pressing the power button, it stops immediately. I then wait a few seconds and press the power button again and then it usually starts very well.

  Could it be updated during this process and I'll be more patient (usually wait a few minutes) before shutting down when this happens?

  Usually something like that shouldn't happen. Satellite A660 is no different from all the other models and OS must be loaded shortly after Toshiba welcome screen appears.
  Do you use your laptop with factory settings or you have changed something?

• I have the virus of file recovery, now I have a black screen with cursor blinking in the upper left corner.

  I have a Pavilion Notebook and recently caught the virus from file recovery.  I bought and ran the disc of Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security.  Now, I get a black screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of the screen.  All tests ran for memory, hard disk, etc. are OK.  Now I have a recovery disk, but have not backed up my files.  Any suggestions?

  Download your backed up files, then you can boot from your recovery disks to reinstall Windows.Several options to do so.

  Remove the hard drive and attach it to one > USB adapter . Plug it into another computer via usb port and copy files off the power.

  You can use > Ubuntu Live CD to boot from and backup files.

  OR ->Kaspersky CD has the ability to back up files.
