I've had my laptop for a year, and it is currently running Windows 7 Professional. I recently had a problem that causes the black screen randomly with the screen turned on (I mean everything is black and I can't see a thing, but can still see the light of the LCD screen). This often happens when I open/close a window, browsers web example, the records, or even during the boot. I want to know how to solve this problem and if the upgrade to Windows 10 works for her.
Hi Haolin,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I tried to install the update of the driver wireless LAN appears so in SW updates on my Samsung laptop model number NP305E5A that is running Windows 7 (64-bit); and I keep getting error message-10 Installation failure. I called Samsung and they distance access my computer and tried to install it via the SW update, as well as through websites; and it's the same thing; and they said I need to contact Microsoft as there seems to be some sort of bug on the side of the things Microsoft... Or otherwise I have to do a factory reset my laptop (which I will lose everything I have on my computer - not my first choice of solving this problem)
The biggest problem with this is that it has disabled the wireless all together, and EVERY time I turn on my computer I have to go into my settings and activate my wireless, and no matter what I do the settings will not stay and I lose connectivity wireless at times.

I am currently using Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit on my laptop.
I intend to switch to Win 7 64-bit and bought the full product and I am ready to install it. I hesitate only because a previous installation of Windows, I remember being trapped because I didn't have the appropriate manufacturer SCSI driver to install during the installation process of Windows (Vista?).
Win7 Home Premium 64-bit requires separate SCSI the manufacturer driver during installation (clean install!) or is automatically detected and installed with Win 7 64 bit?
For your info, my HARD drive is: hard drive Western Digital WD32 00BEKT-00F3T SCSI.
I see in the properties of the HARD drive under Win 7 32 bit driver running is a Microsft (Driver version 6.1.7600.16385) and so I'm hopeful that the switch, I intend require no road by the manufacturer, and that everything will be taken care by the installation of Win 7 64 bit.
Can you help me, please?Yes, you will need a 64-bit driver, there need not be a native driver for Wndows 7 64-bit, you can also use a Windows Vista 64-bit driver if one is available.

HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx - do not pick up the Samsung 840 Evo SSD for clean installation
Hello
Laptop model: HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx
I bought a new Samsung 840 Evo 500 GB SSD and going on to replace the main HARD drive. Tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate on it using the USB bootable Win 7, it loads the installation and starts ok and then he asks to load the driver for any device and gives you an analysis of the option to see if there is any storage device to select for installation. It clearly shows that it does not pick up the SSD.
Unfortunately the bios insydeh20 V3.5 has no possibility of even check if it is detected or so.
What do you think is the problem? The BIOS update would solve this issue? or is there any other work around that.
Thank you
Mike
Before I went ahead with the method you suggested, I tried updating the Bios with the latest version and voila... system picked up the SSD and all is well now.
Thank you
