• Black screen on startup of the Satellite NB10-A-10V

  Hello

  I just bought a new computer toshiba laptop satellite NB10-A-10V but I hate windows 8.1 and I tried to install ubuntu 14.04.

  Now when I start my laptop replaced black screen toshiba logo and any key worked (F12, delete, escape)
  So, how can I manage this problem? Why, toshiba does not or blocked an OS other than windows 8.1?
  I called support and they told me that it is 70 euros for it. It's almost a flight!

  So I think it's a good laptop and I just want to use it with ubuntu, I don't see where is the problem.

  Otherwise I'll fix it in a store of this kind of question, and I will never buy another toshiba in my future.

  So, if you can find a solution (for free, 300 euros already for the laptop 4 days ago only.) it will be very cool

  Thank you

  Hello

  Usually after the purchase of a new product, new owner should read paper textbooks s user initially. It is described that original preinstalled recovery image (original version of Windows) is saved on the HARD drive, and each new owner, before you start to do some experiments or install anything else should create recovery media. It can be DVD or USB, depending on the model of the machine.
  You created the recovery media?

  Very important, is that Toshiba does not support Linux, but in general, you can do with your machine all you want. No you don't have to use the version preinstalled Windows. Many people use Win7 or Linux on various models of Toshiba. Due to this Toshiba has created the separate category of Linux on this forum where you can exchange information and experience with other users of the forum.

  I must also say that you are mistaken if you think that Toshiba is blocking something. That s certainly wrong. When you stop preinstalled Win8 completely, you will be able to enter the BIOS settings and change the MODE to BOOT. After doing this, you can install anything you want.

  More info on what you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm

  For more questions on Linux on Toshiba laptops I recommend you to visit category Linux SOFTWARE and OPERATING SYSTEM.

  Good luck

• Black screen on startup of the satellite Pro M30

  Hello

  Sometimes, I have the problem that my laptop starts up with a black screen. What will happen is that the Red Toshiba logo comes up first, but before you get the loading Windows screen screen will turn black and will cease any activity hard drive and cdrom. The laptop will then just stay there until I have manually turn it works again.

  I was not yet able to determine exactly in what circumstances sometimes, when starting, sometimes when you restart it.

  After that I restart the Windows laptop then tell me he could not start properly and ask me for the etc SafeMode. That's why I first concluded that it could be a Windows problem, but after using the recovery dvd twice I think I can exclude.

  One of my colleagues noticed something on what may be a problem with the video card do not load or commissioning, which doesn't seem likely?

  Any ideas?

  Hi robc,.

  very good and detailed describtion!

  In my opinion the graphics card work properly because otherwise the Toshiba logo have not been shown.

  So I think that failure is perhaps a bad connection of the IDE cable, but to know definitely you should bring a short verification to a Toshiba Service partner!

  I think that your M30 Satellite Pro is still under warranty

• After the updates of windows, the computer stops responding with a black screen at startup of the system

  Original title: Windows XP does not start after the update, no error message

  Has made no changes to the system, but the last thing that happened was an update of Windows security on stop.

  Now when I boot, the BIOS p.o.s.t. shows good HDs, good DVD-Rom, RAM, but Windows never starts, goes just a black screen, HDs are not accessed.

  -F8 does nothing, can't use the last known good Config or Mode safe

  -Change boot order in the BIOS to boot from the Windows XP DVD, hoping to get the recovery console, but the same thing: black screen, no attempt to spin-up DVD or HDs.

  -Removal of mobo battery to reset the CMOS, no joy.

  -Checked and re checked all connections inside.

  -Stripped devices and added one at a time, no joy.

  -Traded-in an old video card in case it was difficult to generate the higher res gfx, no joy.

  I was construction/upgrade / repair my own PC for 3 decades and can usually solve the problem and fix it myself, but this one me completely baffled.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi Cougarific,

  We recommend that you repair your Windows installation in according to method 2 of this article and check the result.
  See computer stops responding with a black screen when you start Windows XP
  

  Note: When you perform a repair installation, it restores the current installation of Windows XP to the version on the installation DVD. This requires you to reinstall all updates that do not appear in this version of Windows XP disc.

• 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.

• Blue screen after Windows Vista SP2 installed on my TouchSmart IQ770

  
  

  All, I came across this thread, after having the same problem (constant BSOD after Vista SP2) installed.  The fix referenced by MS that contains a placeholder file.  However, this most recent patch http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975163/ contains even more recent versions of all the files in question.

  For this installation, I went to safe mode and disabled the wireless network card.  I copied the fix of a usbstick on the desktop.  After the reboot of the machine was stable enough to install this fix (before it would break before the fix might get installed).  After the restart, yet once again, I have reactivated the wireless card.

  The system seems to be stable again (its place for over an hour now, the previous record was 5 minutes approximately from SP2)

  I hope this helps someone to another Google search for Vista SP2 IQ770 BSOD USB

• Vista Home Prem (64-bit) - black screen with cursor in the top left

  Hello

  When I turn on the laptop, all I get is a black screen after screen of the bios at startup. Never done anywhere. He won't let me go in safe mode, it will not go to any login screen. I tried Startup Repair with Vista disc, and he says that it's been fixed, but still does not start. I've done it many times. I tried to let the part installation that moves the windows to the windows.old and creates a new copy of windows, and this did not fix it. I tried hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL in the black screen and this causing the laptop to reboot.

  If anyone has any ideas, maybe something, I may have missed. I tried almost everything people have posted here. I wouldn't completely re - install if I have to.

  Hello

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel
  -Double click - Driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - device Manager - map - graph
  then right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  is CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and END PROCESS on it.
  then on the tab Applications - lower right - new task - the type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is
  accessible by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  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 hotfix is usually a hit or miss
  base. That there is no information on a black screen as there is just a blue screen
  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 of efforts.

• I can't hear any sound in my headset when I plug in my laptop which has Vista SP2 installed.

  I can't hear any sound in my headset when I plug in my laptop which has Vista SP2 installed. While my speakers work well, I cannot hear any sound in my headphones every time that I plug them in. And whenever I take off the helmet, I can hear clearly. However the same headphones work with another machine perfectly. I tried all the troubleshooting guides, but can't get my headphones to work with my laptop. Appreciate if a solution can be provided.

• Vista 64-bit Black Screen of Death, with just a mobile available slider, the system does not start in safe mode.

  My system worked properly on 25 April and then something happened and now the machine comes back with "Start menu options" but will not start in one of the listed options, modes result in the same outcome.  System also starts on the Vista CD.

  System begins to boot normally, shows the tracer Green Windows at the bottom of the screen, then the mouse pointer appears and moves but the rest of the screen remains black.

  That's it, that's all what he will do.  I checked the settings of the computer and ran the diagnostic tests available and everything seems to go fine and passes all the tests.

  I worked on my own computers for over 20 years and never been stumped before, but I must say this is a first, and I have no idea what to try to do it now.

  Help or direction is appreciated.

  original title: Vista 64-bit Black Screen of Death, with just a mobile available slider, the system does not start in safe mode.

  See if there is a way to tecover clean your data before doing a restore to conditions of factory that will wipe the drive of all.  You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (which you will need to do on another computer).  Starting on this disc and lla should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.

  So since you seem to have no other alernatives, you can try retoring the original factory computer options. However, if it is a hardware problem as could very well be the case, you can still encounter problems after even this drastic step.  Then you will need to consider in a reputable computer repair shop (NOT Geek Squad or or a any of these big store centers) or maybe even go back to the manufacturer for repair.   Check out several options and compare the costs, quality and guaranteed and then make your best decision.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• HP15-ac631TU: black screen on startup free DOS

  Hello there I just bought HP15-ac631TU Free Dos. The problem is that it is showing only black screen as soon as the power is on. Fan runs short time like 3-4 seconds and stop running, but the cover of the power supply is always on with only a black screen. I tried to installed windows 7 USB starting before the problem happened, but I just quit Setup at the very first step to choose the language and region as busy a little bit. Then later when I switched on the power to install windows, only the black screen appeared. Help me solve this problem. Thank you very much

  Hi @SaiKhagGa,

  Welcome to the HP forum!

  This is a great site to find information, advice and suggestions.

  I understand that you bought the HP 15-ac631TU and started to install Windows 7 from a USB, but quit to the language selection and the screen of the region, like you had something else to do. Later, when you power on the laptop you just had a blank black screen. First of all, I would like to make a reset hard or forced.  HP - notebook computers use the hard reset to solve software and hardware problems.  Now, try to boot from your Windows 7 USB and complete the installation of Windows.

  Please let me know the results.

• S7: black screen on startup

  S7, barely a month.  Order last night, left pending, lid and power cord plugged in.

  Today he won't move beyond a black screen at startup.  Starts with the start screen "Acer Explorer beyond the limits" and then just black.  However, I can see the pointer of couse to the screen and it can move with touchpad and mouse.

  I rebooted several times, power cord unplugged, etc..  No luck.

  Looking, seems I'm not the only one with this problem.

  Come on Acer, I dropped a lot of money on this machine!  Help, please!

  Here's how I fixed my problem as described in my original post (for now, anyway):

  Unplug the power apparatus.  Open the cover; computer will power on but go to black screen.

  Power off button on the side, but leave the lid open.

  Then, with (2) lid open (1) the computer turned off and unplugged from power cord (3), press and hold the power button / stop for 30 seconds.  Computer will be quickly implemented on and then turns off quickly (you'll see the Acer logo startup screen, but he died before entering the black screen).  Keep holding the power button / stop through all this for 30 seconds.

  At the end of 30 seconds, the computer will be (should be) off the coast.   Remove your finger from the power button / stop.  Leave lid open during all this.

  With lid open, connect the power cable.  Press the power button / stop as you normally would (you are not holding it this time) to turn on.

  Computer should start normally.

  Worked for me; It may be useful if you encounter the same problem.  I said that it has something to do with static buildup.
