Inspiron 9400/E1705 - lines vertical and the seeds, and then black screen on startup of the computer

I have an Inspiron 9400/E1705 with a nVidia Geforce Go 7900 GS. A few months as the computer started showing the seeds while I was game (textures does not, massive downturn, etc.) and then finally horizontal began to appear on the screen, from start-up. I was unable to get into Windows with the exception of Safe Mode. I thought that the problem was the graphics card, and some users on this forum have confirmed this suspicion. Although in May 2007, when I was still under warranty, I got the card replaced, I don't was more under warranty at the time so I started shopping around for a replacement.

Before that I bought a replacement, however, the computer just stopped starting upwards. Previously, at least I could get Safe Mode and check my e-mail or Word process; now the screen stays empty (the LCD and an external monitor) and seems not even to try to start. The power and it occupied lights turn green, however, and remain like that until I turn off the power. I tried to boot with a RAM chip, thanks to the optical drive removed, with the hard drive, removed, and combinations of these, just to see if anything would change (anything).

My question is if this can also be a symptom of the graphics card does not, or I have a bigger problem on my hands?

Thank you.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I ran the diagnosis before the white screen began to arrive, and only errors have been associated with the video.  I can't run any diagnostic now, though, to see if there are new mistakes, which is why I want to confirm a dead card can do that until I get a new.

  • Satellite L300-1AP and Win8 - black screen on startup

    Hello

    My computer starts as usual, the first screens come well and it will also in the journal of the user on the fine screen.

    However when he was usually in the Windows 8 home screen it goes just a black screen.

    The mouse icon is still there and the work, but the only thing that I can get up is the Task Manager.

    No idea what it is? Eventually a failure of a Windows 8 pilot as everything else seems to work?

    Thank you!

    I agree with Timox; It would be interesting to know if the laptop is working correctly by using another system; in the best case with the system pre-installed and pre-configured by Toshiba or Windows 7.

    I m interested also in the installation procedure you install Win8? Did move you from Win 7 to 8 Win or did you do a fresh install?

    I had this problem too, but it resolved now on the Apple store. They had seen previously on older hardware which has been updated for Sierra with FireVault market and occurs when the operating system is switching graphics modes. I got just my logic board replaced so wanted it is solved.

    We have attempted to extinguish FireVault, but the question was still there. Then they have successfully installed a new copy of a Mavericks and the problem was gone. Then they installed a new copy of Sierra and the question is still missing. Now, I have re-enabled FireVault and the issue has gone.

  • B540 TDR and black screen on startup

    Hi all, I bought a B540 in April a power works fine until end of July when it began to show the error "display driver has stopped working and has recovered." a few days later I let him (I have need as a wifi station to connect devices remove) and after a few hours of work, when I came back, the screen was off and there wa no way to turn it on. I press the power button for a few seconds to turn off the pc and he died. When I turned on, the computer started but the screen is off (not the 'lenovo' logo was shown on the eve) but everything else seemed to work (play plug/unpluging usb external hard drive the sound of the carachteristic). I turned off again and wait ten minutes before the market again, this time above the 'lenovo' logo was shown, but it seems that the pc failed to boot win 8. I unlplugged everything, removed the power cord, wait an hour and after that all started ok but the error message "display driver stop" was still there. After this date the computer randomly starts ok or with the screen. Given that I do not use it intensively Isuspected some windows update to cause this strange behavior and I'm trying to use a point of restoration, until July 17, but the problem was still there. Then I removed all recent windows update of June on, and I realized that in one case, it was not possible (i.e. the "remove/uninstall" button not showed that KB). I googled around and found the subject KB has been reported to broken system and the only way to react was to use a DOS command to reatore a new installation of the system. I did and actually everything works ok for 2 days (one day, I actually use the PC all day to upload stuff to iternet it to work). Unfortunately, after that day, everything seems to repeat: new 'pilot not resposinding to display' and a black screen at startup.

    Please consider that the system is quite new and clean (only 3/4 months of life) and everything works fine until end of July. What do you suggest me?

  • Power outage during Vista SP2 install; black screen on startup of the PC

    Hello-

    I have a PC desktop Gateway which is no longer start after a power failure has occurred during the installation of Vista SP2. The computer displays the progress at the bottom indicator, then, before that can display the login screen, the screen goes black, with a white cursor. CTRL-Alt-Del and Ctrl-Shift-Esc do nothing.

    I tried without success to the following:

    * Safe Mode/Safe Mode control guest - boots to black screen new
    * Startup Repair - told me there is nothing wrong
    * System Restore - tells me there is no available restore points
    * System restore the OEM DVD - can not find hard drive
    * Re-install this is disabled because I can't start Windows Vista-

    There are * all * options other than wiping the disc/lose all my data? The PC is in a remote area and backup drive is not an easy thing to achieve.

    The PC is no longer under warranty of the bridge, and I understand that Microsoft supports is no longer installs OEM of Vista.

    Can anyone help?

    I can tell you how to make bootable disks, but you already have a disk.

    He has changed since good means of XP repair install from disk by booting from it.

    I would add that info to disk Bootable repair, just in case your DVD is a factory of one computer.

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

    It's Vista only repair installation option these days.
    It must be switched on!
    Not much use, is it!

    Good luck with it.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Above information shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista Startup Repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    See you soon.

  • Pavillion dv6 6b15ed: Driverupdate to fix the black screen at startup windows 10!

    Hello

    Question:

    Is there a new driver is released for my AMD Radeon HD card 6755 2? (double grafics)

    Because the latest driver causes a black screen at startup. Sequence: wenn turn on u see hp and that start-up logo win 10 after that it crashes on a black screen for about 2 minutes, then start 10. (about 2, 5 minutes later)

    I have now installed a windows 8 (issues) driver and windows starts in 6 seconds (with normal hard drive).

    I can't play the games but the bootspeed is good.

    So is there a fix or is there is 1 entry?

    TNX

    While the video card is not supported with the latest drivers.

    You can update as much if you want to, but isn't is not helping.

    Even in charge AMD said that this card is not supported with drivers.

    But today, I tried 1 times more, I used the old driver AMD_Display_13.352.

    With the first reboot, it was still black and some errors of the pilot, but after that the second quick start installation restarts!

    Appearance of the logo Windows 10 only 3 or 4 seconds and start immediately, without black screen and I got sound, video and video tube work as well.

    If other people having the same problem download Drivethelife and download the old pilot 13.352 and see for yourself.

    Make sure u delete all drivers previously installed with DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) of guru3d site.

    Almost forgot: I also disabled windowsupdate to prevend install other drivers (new).

  • Black screen on startup instead of the splash screen

    Sometimes it shows a black screen instead of the start screen and I have to restart my laptop using ctrl + alt + delete.

    This happens at every start, but sometimes it takes a little more time to the log on screen (which shows the name and photo of the user) and a black screen appears with no option, same shortcut as windows, windows + D, windows + I, windows + C etc works on this screen. What conclusion I came up with, it is "there is no other choice, rather than using ctrl + alt + del-> restart" and then it works normally.

    am using alt + ctrl + del options to lock, ease of access, etc. Task Manager & the option to as well as I use to start my laptop and it starts normally.

    Then, the most likely scenario is that explorer.exe crushed and for some reason any decided not to try to recover.   Use the Task Manager to test this idea.   For example to enter his Details tab and see if explorer.exe is there, if not, you can use the TM file, run command... to try to run again.   You can also start some diagnostic programs such as trying to get a glimpse on why explorer.exe does not display you its screen start Event Viewer.   As I mentioned a likely explanation for this would be on the bad monitor but then I expect not allow you to see the Ctrl-Alt-Delete menu, no more.  The usability of this scenario is quite wrong and the user should understand the opportunity that can use the keyboard cannot be seen without doing something to change it.

  • Black screen at startup, unable to boot from the CD

    I did something wrong on my Thinkpad T43 2668, now I have Black Boot screen cannot Access IBM, can not press a function key, cannot start from the CD.  Here's what I did:

    1 got unwanted winxp sp3 updates automatic, then restored to the permeable point via Windows XP system restore, then, cannot start system; cannot boot from the Windows XP CD

    2 2 demarrer start from Linux Live CD, format hard drive and install ubuntu, hidden Partition of domain is not deleted, always there;

    3. can start Linux OS, but black screen on startup. There is no way to see what's happening at startup; Pressing a key of function or IBM bottons returns no result, always boot in Linux;

    4. cannot boot from any CD bootable legal except Ubuntu Live CD;

    5. no means of access Bios to set the boot sequence, therefore, cannot boot from USB floppy either.

    Advice is appreciated!

    PS. I tried Linux live CD some time ago before this trouble, click on "help me to boot from CD", got something installed. I guess it's something installed out of the box and that is why now I can boot from a Linux Live CD.
