  • Black screen after updates of Windows 8.1 - No. Cursor (Lenovo 50-75) - and gets hot

    Dear Forum,

    I have a new Lenovo Z50-75 with FreeDOS: I made a Windows 8.1 installation, and everything went well.

    After installing the approximately 70 updates - at one point it restarts and I get a black screen, just after few see the Lenovo Logo (enter the BIOS works).

    It is not all Windows start - I can't get fashion so safe, and I don't get any cursor.

    The behavior is reproducible, 2 times. Also when it crashes at the black screen, the van get reall busy, Levy and the laptop gets hot.

    Anyone working on this issue, or has any idea what should I do?

    Thank you

    Updating the BIOS is not always my first option (risk, performance vs).

    Anyway... It works, everything is good.

  • FireFox starts a black screen after update 33

    After that set Firefox to update my version to 33, the application is launched in a black screen. I tried to uninstall my version and reinstall the current version (33) and it (Firefox) always throws a black full size window. No further questions with other applications.

    Could you try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    With completely closed Firefox, you can hold the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Any difference?

    If Firefox is visible, go ahead and disable the use of Firefox hardware acceleration as a workaround for incompatibility of graphics software possible driver card.

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    This will indeed be the next time you go out and you launch Firefox upward.

    Hello
    Two days ago I've updated Directx version because I want to try call of Duty Black Ops on my laptop. I've updated normally and it works perfectly but after a day at the restart of Windows7, after Windows 7 logo, I have a black screen and cpu fan running at full speed. So I used Toshiba Recovery Center and I got my pc to make settings. When it installs the drivers crashing into the graphics driver again. After that, I installed Windows 7, but I am using my computer on the resolution of 640 x 480 with 8 colors... And I can use the security with network mode but if I install the driver for GT - 330M and restart the computer, it hangs on after restarting windows 7.
    I tried to change the options in the bios, but it's always the same problem.

    * My :* graphics card Nvidia GT330M
    * :* Bios version 2.50 / EC2.40 (last update on the Web from Toshiba site)

    What happens then?
    Problems after installing the operating system recovery disc?

    > When it installs drivers crashing into the graphics driver
    You n t need to install all the drivers after installing the recovery disc. The recovery disk installs OS Win and also drivers needed!

    > I downloaded 197.16, 197.71, 258.80 drivers Nvidia and laptopvideo2go, but when I try to install these versions, it does not compotible with my control panel.

    If you want to install non-Toshiba drivers, you will have to do it in the Device Manager.
    You must use the Advanced installation procedure and have point to the driver files (ini files) that you have downloaded and stored on the HARD drive.
    You have simply force windows to select this driver.

  • Ipad black screen after updating ios 9.2 2 mini

    Hi all

    My mini ipad 2 was somewhere in the update to ios 9.2 and when I tried to unlock it, it did not.

    I got a black screen, I thought that maybe battery or something.

    After the cable, I hear the sound of connect 'dived', so he is still alive.

    Then every 5-10 seconds who even connect sound repeats.

    So I tried the following:

    -Home and power button, connect to itunes-> restore

    -Home and power button, connect to itunes-> update

    -Home and power button, connect to itunes->-> tried restoring back to 9.1-> causes error 3194

    So, I tried all of the obvious ways to get the ipad back alive again, but I still have a black screen and the sound of connection.

    What to do?

    See the following support article on error 3194. https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201442

  • Black screen after updating the BIOS on the Satellite A200 - 12 X

    Hi people, I have a Satellite A200 - 12 X and get me some problems when I try to install the latest version of the bios.
    Today, I see the new driver bios here in the drivers of toshiba, the version of the 08/07/07.
    I have download and start installing, in the middle of the border as usual in windows vista gives me problems, and I complete the configuration of the bios.
    Restart the notbook and give them a black screen and nothing else.
    I take out the power cable and try turn turn it on if advance again once and nothing, turn on the power tube and read the dvd, but don't go to windows or other place, just a screen backl.
    Can someone tell me what is taking place and how I can fix the situation please.

    Hello

    It seems during the BIOS update process, something went wrong and therefore the laptop does not start correctly.
    You should know that the update of the BIOS is always a risky job.

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to solve this problem. You need a help of an ASP.

    As the above user said, contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask for help!

    Good luck

  • Black screen after update yesterday Windows 7

    So the problem seems to be related to last update (19/08/10).  Now, of course I am offered this update again!  Any info on this problem?  I'm on a Dell Inspiron 546 desktop running 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium.  Thanks for any help...

    Thanks for your reply.  After the system restore, I installed all the news updates and system rebooted normally.  Who knows why?

  • Black screen after update Windows 10 in Toshiba laptop

    * Original title: Windows 7

    Hello, so I opened my Toshiba laptop and it led me directly to the black screen that says (look at the picture) and I was wondering what I should do to solve the problem because it led me straight to here. Please help as soon as POSSIBLE. "PS I tried inserting a blank disc.

    Sounds like your hard drive has met its end (average life of a spinning hard drive is a little more than 5 years, but many die prematurely, especially in laptops that move).

    If you do not know that all of the cables and connections are secure on the disc, then it's probably time to buy a new hard drive to put.

  • Windows black screen after update.

    Hello:

    I think that my computer had an automatic update in Tuesday night / Wednesday morning. (I heard him restart in the middle of the night). Everything seemed well Wednesday morning the computer was working and I got the video.

    I tried to start my computer last night (Thursday) and I got a black screen. No splash screen. No bios. Nothing.

    Windows starts even though, as I can hear the chime start.

    This same problem happened to me once before, about two or three months ago and I called EVGA for help. At the time, I had a spare video card, and the map screen with this card. I have currently a GTX 280 the older map was also a NVIDIA, but I don't remember the model number, possibly 7950.

    We used the sweeper driver and reinstalled the NVIDIA drivers. I was then able to get the computer to display with the 280.

    I don't have immediate access to a spare video card to try this out, so I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions on how I can solve this problem.

    I think getting a small hard drive, cheap and loading linux on it and see if I can not do load like that. I could probably run Sweeper driver on the other drive in this way as well.

    What is troubling to me, it's that I can't even in the BIOS when this happens. I don't understand why the video card isn't some "bootstrap" he can in the case of a conflict situations pilot to display the BIOS screen at least, but this isn't your problem.

     

     

    I also want to know how I can disable these automatic updates. Really don't want to mess with Windows driver configurations.

     

     

    Hello!

    Thanks for posting here to the Microsoft Answers forum.

    Drivers are optional updates and do not install unless you click on it to install it. You can disable automatic updated since the center of the action in your taskbar as a flag. But it is not recommended. Now what you can do is press f8 when your computer restarts a few options expected pop up, try to start in VGA mode or low resolution, you should be able to start windows now, with no drivers for the graphics loaded. try rolling back the drivers then or uninstall in Control Panel of-> programs. Reinstall (download from the nvidia site)

    or

    start your installation Windows dvd by inserting it and restarting your computer (set your boot options to boot from the CD/DVD in BIOS), and then use the system under repair restore

    Letus know the result.

    After the last update of fusion, my VM 7 Win shows a black screen. The mouse is always visible on the screen, and everything is work and display the preview in the library window.
