Hello

No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
are a few others.

You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windows-computer

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

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.

A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.
ALT + DELETE - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is available by
repeatedly tapping F8 as you start. CTRL + SHIFT + ESC also begins the Task Manager.

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 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.

Here's a video of one of them.

You have a Vista disk? You can try restoring the system to it. If you don't have the disks your
system manufacturer will sell them at low prices. Or try in safe mode if you can get there.

  • 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.

  • 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 L350-D 215 black with cursor flashing screen - it worked fine said he had to restart and that's what happened, I can't in windows allows any single me in bios and Boot Manager.

    I am looking for help to solve this problem. I don't know what went wrong, my warranty runs out on December 26, 2010 so if I can't fix it myself can I have return to toshiba to fix. I'm at a loss as to how to solve this problem, I have no disk for laptop recovery.

    I tried the fix when you remove the battery and press the power button to 30 seconds doesn't not work, also tried leaving a few hours without battery and tried plugging in to power same, toshiba screen and only boot in the bios etc usually let HDD boot in windows only in black screen and blinking cursor.

    Any help much appreciated. I saw the restoration of disks for £9.95 on a Web site for the machine so don't know what to do... totally empty.

    Hello

    I agree with Akuma.
    Blinking cursor means that the Windows OS can not be loaded / booted up.
    You need to reinstall new OS.

    If you have a Microsoft windows CD you can use this disk to reinstall the operating system. The necessary drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba page.
    Otherwise, you would need order a recovery disc Toshiba from here:

  • Black screen with blinking cursor

    So today I started my computer normally and I was doing my normal activities for about 5 minutes before my computer automatically shut down and restarted. After the flash blue HP screen, it goes to a black screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left. If I tap Ctrl + Alt + Delete it just goes back through projection and the black screen again.

    The only options on the splash screen that works are the program installation, diagnosis and menu start. For some reason, hit F11 to restore the system does nothing and it will pass just to the black screen. Another strange note is that simply type the power button it will stop, I don't need to keep it.

    To the extent the why in this case, the only reasonable explanation would be that I had a virus. Malwarebytes was telling me "svchost.exe" meant any activity suspected and I did a complete analysis of the system yesterday, he finds and supposed to be deleted the svchost.exe and I did a reboot. After reboot, it came to a black screen and proceeded to do some sort of check disk or something. After that, it was fine, but I closed it down last night and this morning, the question arose.

    I'm not really good with computers, I went into the BIOS and tried to restore the default values. As far as I know he recognizes the hard disk. Verification of diagnosis completed without finding any problems. I removed all USB devices and it always goes to the black screen.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I have no recovery disks.

    If anyone has knowledge or they can share advice, it would be much appreciated.

    No problem

    If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7.  Download the ISO relevant among the links below.  If you are not sure of the version, the product page for your laptop shows it was delivered with the 64-bit version, so try first.

    Windows 7 32 bit

    Windows 7 64 bit

    You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  One time created, or if you already have this, insert the rescue CD in Notepad and restart at the start of it.  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 blinking cursor! tried everything!

    OK, so this is going to sound familiar.

    I was on my computer when (it seems that windows update force rebooted my system) my computer rebooted in the middle of doing me stuff, got the windows stop screen.  When it restarts I got was a black screen with a blinking cursor.  The only options on the splash screen that works are the program installation, diagnosis and menu start. For some reason, hit F11 to restore the system does nothing and it will pass just to the black screen. Another strange note is that simply type the power button it will stop, I don't need to keep it.

    (1) I went into the bios and restored the default values.

    (2) I called they sent me a microsoft repair disc.

    (3) I tried the Startup Repair, which would have finished enough instantly and tell me that no problem has been detected and if I recently fixed a device, remove and restart. Everything is attached are the mouse/keyboard factory.
    (4) I've tried many system restore points and they all failed. nothing has worked and all generated the error: (0x800700b7)
    (5) I made this

    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

    When the pc still doesn't load, I put the repair back disc in and got an error message windows boot files where invalid and had the ability to repair and restart or cancel.  After trying blaze these and try several BCD I built always get the same flashing cursor.

    (6) I reloaded windows on a separate hard drive and scanned all viruses, checked the drive to see if there was even loaded windows (out of curiosity because nothing works)

    (7) so everything is saved, but I have 5 years of programming, I don't want to lose or reload due to the download time.

    Is there anything I can try that will work?

    Windows 7 64 bit

    HP Pavilion AMD phenom processor 4 cores.

    motherboard, power supply, gpu, amd chip, all works with a different hard drive, but I really really really don't want a fresh reload

  • Windows Vista does not start. The BIOS loads then black screen with blinking cursor.

    So my friend told me that his PC was not working. When you press the power button on the pc, the screen of the Dell BIOS load but instead of starting then Vista it shows just a black screen with a blinking cursor. Still, the BIOS detects the hard drive and has the ability to boot from it, but it just that again. I tried the recovery disk windows, and when you click on the "Repair" option when it loaded usually shows a list of the operating systems installed and their hard drives. There is no listed on the Vista recovery cd. Manually, you can browse and find the partition from the OS than its sequel, and clearly see the windows directories. It all simply not start, nor let the recovery disk to fix it because the operating system is not detected. I plugged the hard drive on my pc with the same results. Then I started my Win 7 and Explorer, disks and partitions are once again still visible with the appropriate directories. Windows says the drive is working properly and has no file system errors. When viewing in the hardware Manager, he says it's healthy (primary, active partition). My hard drive working correctly says healthy (boot, pagefile, primary partition). Why used it boot and why the recovery disk not recognize the operating system and how can I fix it or do I need to format and reinstall vista?

  • 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.

  • NB200 does not start after the bios - screen black screen with blinking cursor

    Hello

    I was using the laptop as usual when I think there may have been a virus activity - reason I say that is that my anti-virus closed unexpectedly. I couldn't restart programs files.

    I restarted the laptop.

    After the bios menu will I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor - windows does not start.

    I did the following:
    (1) create a USB bootable with Recovery Console window XP - boot with this i can see three drives C:, D: as SDA? I can see the content of these disks, so it seems that my HD works. I ran a fixmbr and fixboot, but this has not solved the problem.
    (2) create a Kaspersky bootable USB virus scan - ran it without problem - he found a few question (not on the disk boot sector) I've fixed.

    An option was to copy files from the laptop and then start it in recovery mode - so Itried to run the phone into recovery mode hold down the 0 key at startup - the bottom of the screen then displays * HDD Recovery mode * and nothing happens.

    Any help - other options would be greatly appreciated.

    My 1 year of that guarantee has expired a few months back so can't send in for repair.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I doubt that it is a virus.
    Seems the file system is damaged on the HARD drive and this is the reason why the laptop does not start until it could also be a partition of HARD disk malfunction.

    Try this; Turn on the unit, press F8, and then check if you have the laptop repair.
    If this is not possible, then you will need to reinstall new OS.

    Here you can order a recovery disc:
    http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx
    Of course you will need an external USB CD/DVD drive
