    You can start the machine in safe mode? Which operating system you are using? Are you using it for a while or is this first boot after installation.

    Please write a little more. If you give more info and detailed description, it is easier to understand what may be the problem.

    Try this:

    Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer-graphics/computer card > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    Then:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    See you soon.

  • My HP Pavilion laptop g6 hangs on the screen then the screen goes black!

    Hi, I have a laptop Hp pavilion g6 running on windows 7 that I bought for my high school diploma. Of course she had only one year warranty. At first, all was well, then he would start gel and goes black. I restored to factory settings, and everything was fine until Tuesday morning. Tuesday morning I woke up and I went to turn on my laptop after hibernating all night, as I usually do. Only instead of commissioning, he went to the logon screen and after clicking on enter my password it froze. He stayed there for a good 2 hours and then the screen went black and the small arrow white that presented themselves. After that, nothing so I turn it off and back on it. It does the same thing. Last night, after trying for several hours, I restored to factory again. This morning it worked for a few hours, then the office frozen and then the screen went black and is insensitive. Currently, it is still insensitive.

    Update: it works fine in Safe Mode.

    Hello

    303 error code is a failure of the short test (DST) disk Self and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This also corresponds to the start-up question and would explain why you can run safe mode because the disk is under less load (that is, much less read/write requests).

    I gathered from your original post that the laptop is no longer under warranty - you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, please let me know - include the full model number and your notebook series g6 Nr - see here for an explanation.

    Kind regards

  • At the beginning; After the Windows Logo at the start, the screen goes black and a POWER SAVE MODE comes up. I must stop button. I can run the computer as I am now in Mode safe mode with networking.

    When I turn on the computer of gateway, the machine starts and the initial window logo starts and runs for about five seconds.  Then the screen goes black instead of blue and stays black for about 10 seconds.  A 'Power SAVE MODE' appears.  The machine is dead to all orders.  I have to stop by pressing the off button.  I can turn back and the F10 key to get in Mode safe mode with networking.

    I tried to reinstall Windows XP original but it would erase my files.  I tried to restore the last good configuration also knowledge.  That did not work.

    The change came after a Windsows update.  I have McAfee security and I asked Windows but could not use due ot a conflict. -C' is all this bad start.  Clues?  I use Negear.  No change when I hooked directly either.

    Botton line, I can run in SafeMode with networking; but it is slow and I can't make alll I have to do.  What does not load Windows?

    ===============================
    I don't know what is causing this problem but would be
    suspicious, it is related to a corrupted or obsolete
    video driver.

    Might be interesting to try to reduce your graphics
    Hardware acceleration instructions
    in the following article.

    How to put in back of graphics hardware acceleration
    http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00129_How_to_set_graphics_hardware_acceleration_back.htm
    (scroll down to: "If you are using Windows 2000 or XP")

    If they improve the question, you should look for the
    site Web of MFG. your video card
    a updated driver Win XP compatible video. Or...
    If your computer is a laptop... Search support
    site of the manufacturer of your computer.

    If you do not know the make and model of your
    Video adapter, see the documentation that
    supplied with the computer.

    Also you can find info on your video by driver
    go to Device Manager: you can launch
    By clicking Device Manager on... Start/run and
    type or copy / paste:
    devmgmt.msc
    And then press ENTER.

    Expand "Graphics cards" and right click
    the name of your graphics... then
    choose... Properties / tab pilot... FYI.

    You should find the make and model of your
    adapter display as well as the version of the driver.

    If the driver on the Web site is no longer
    current than you run...
    Download and install it. In addition, installation
    instructions that should be followed closely
    should be available on the support site.

    Once installed the new video driver... you
    can restore your full acceleration.

    Good luck...

  • at idle, the screen go black and says cospla 1scr does not work

    When the computer is idle for long periods of time, the screen turns black with notice cospla-1SCR microsoft looking for correction does not. This happened for several months now.

    What program is it and can I remove it does not, and microsoft has no answers to fix it.

  • Satellite L500 starts, allows me to connect, and then the screen goes black

    I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite L500.

    As I am a student in high school, it was a huge and very expensive purchase for me.
    I previously had a Toshiba that served me extremely well, so I was ready to buy a new one, but now I have a problem with it.
    I have a L5000 with operating system Windows 7 Professional.

    Notepad starts end, showing the Welcome screen and allowing me to enter my password, but once the password is accepted, and disappears from the Welcome screen, I find myself with a black screen showing only my mouse pointer.

    If I enter CTRL + ALT + DELETE, the Task Manager becomes visible, but I don't see nothing else UNLESS I select 'explorer' under the processes tab and end process, then re-run the Explorer - then only the home screen becomes visible.

    It's a new laptop - Needless to say I don't want to have to do this every time I turn it on. I should try to restore factory default?
    I'm usually very proficient with computers, but I don't have enough faith to tinker with it.

    Can anyone help?

    Hi Korosuhito,
    It sounds like an infection or a misconfiguration.

    You can try to start in safe mode and search for services that run maybe you can find the "bad guy".

  • Once I turn on my dell inspiron laptop 1545 dell logo appears and then the screen goes black

    Let me start by saying: I had similar problems before, but none of the usual works.  The other day, these two Windows Update kept popping up and wouldn't go away so I clicked finally allow.  Then the next day that I was on the internet and my computer froze, I tried to turn it off and it wouldn't if I pressed the power button until it did.  Then when I turned it back after the dell logo appeared all that I had a black screen with a cursor in the upper left.  I ran diagnostics and startup repair and nothing.  I tried to do the restore of the system once in couple with different points and nothing, I still get the black screen after dell logo.  Is there another way outside the reinstallation of the operating system, to fix (because I really don't want to lose everything I have on my computer - and no I don't save it anywhere)?

    You can reinstall the OS without formatting the drive, all of your data in a folder named windows.old. You will need the Dell Windows Vista disc however.

    Follow my guide here: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/1434.aspx
    Start with step 3. (require reinstalling Dell DVD). Skip step 5 continue on step 6 to step 7. Install Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 (autonomous probably 32-bit) and stand-alone Internet Explorer 9. You must download these in step 4 with the system drivers as described (probably, use another computer and use a USB drive). Install the drivers as mentioned system. Activation should be useless since you use the Dell DVD in a BIOs Dell. At the stage. 12 use the automated to retrieve documents from Windows.old. Make sure you have everything and then delete windows.old.

    Does not need to update the Nvidia driver because it is up to date and could not update the Viewsonic that Windows only recognizes as "PnP monitor" generic monitor, even if it is described as Viewsonic in the Nvidia Control Panel. Did restore the default values in the video section of the Nvidia Control Panel, and that seems to have solved the problem.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Install these updates of 2 drivers and then restart the pc and try again see if the problem occurs.

    Another thing that I recommend is trying to reset your settings to default monitor by pressing the MENU button and finding the option defauult of zero/factory reset.

    You can also restore the default settings in the Nvidia Control Panel by clicking on restore by default in most sections.
