• Black screen after the windows login

  Hi, I have a HP Pavilion DV7 notebook with Windows 7 Home Premium installed on it. A problem I've noticed is that, once I connect to windows during a boot, the screen is black for about 1-2 minutes. After awhile, explorer.exe would with desktop, taskbar and icons. I am concerned about this 1 to 2 minutes of black screen after the boot as it did not exist previously. I know I have options such as restoring the computer laptop back to the default state, or by using the system restore. However, I don't want to lose all my stuff, and with respect to the restoration of the system, I'm not sure when the problem happening, as it was some time ago. I have read a Microsoft article, (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/why-is-my-screen-black-when-i-start-windows-7) and tried all the steps with the graphics card and the regestry, but nothing seems to work.

  -Task Manager is able to open when the screen is black (shows explorer.exe running)

  -J' have the drivers on the HP support site

  -laptop is HP Pavilion DV7 3024ca

  You will need to login using the method of trial and error. Please uncheck all of the MSCONFIG Startup tab and restart the system. If the black screen issue is resolved, then check out an application every time and restart the system. This will help you to identify the program interfere.

• Windows startup at black screen after the Windows logo

  Original title: Evga Nvidia GeForce GT 520 1GB black screen graphics card

  I have a Hp Pavilion 6400 in the series which ran on Windows Vista (32 bit). I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) and now the screen goes black once the windows logo closed its animation. I uninstalled the driver, re the driver installed and configured my system to the lowest resolution.

  Already found in the forums.
  -TV is too old to be compatible.
  EVGA - technician told me that the food was not powerful enough.
  -Forum Windows says: error in Explorer.exe.
  -Also found response that runs the computer through MSconfig would solve the problem.
  So far, none of these solutions have worked. Answers appreciated.

  Problem solved.

  It turns out, the driver for the video card would never completely install due to its mode of operation.
  Solution.
  1 restart Windows "low resolution".
  2. access to the form of previously downloaded files driver install the EVGA site while in safe mode.
  3. once divers have installed I changed the resolution in a HD rather than a framework
  "(native)" parameter in the resolution section.

• Not start only progresses to double blue screen after the force-feeding down

  After many troubles with Trend Micro and following their instructions, I was to open a session and turn it back on.  However, first disconnect and restart options did not work so I had to cut the power.  When turning it back on, the PC got to a screen with dark blue strips on top and bottom and Microsoft XP logo in the blue middle panel.  After trying various boot options in different modes of security etc and running drive Diagnostics (all past) the PC arrives in the same condition every time.  Dell won't talk to me given that all three of my PC are too old, according to them.  I saw on their site where there was such a problem after the update from another provider visus (AVG) where a CD of XP Windows Setup specific should be used with the Recovery Console to be run.  It's something on the order of what the Trend Micro tech said I should do.  With the exception, since Dell won't talk to me I can't get the CD.  With all three PC I bought home, actually provided with a CD because "your new computer does not require an operating system CD".  How can I get such a CD for XP or is there another way?  SW_Engr

  How does this relate to the features of Windows Update?

  If you have purchased the Dell with Windows XP (?) computer pre-installed, Microsoft will NOT provide replacement discs.

  If your computer came with these discs, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do a clean install (AKA destructive recovery) of Windows.

• Wanted: White screen after 10 Windows Update - problem even when back in windows 8.1

  Hello

  I've updated to windows 10 and after a few hours, the main screen of my laptop went blank but my second monitor that I use with a HDMI cable still works.

  Here is a screenshot - one screen shows white and I'm typing this on screen 2 (continue below)

  I've updated my drivers in Device Manager but problem persists, here's my profile for screens and link to full

  (continue below photo)

  

  Complete specifications

  http://Speccy.Piriform.com/results/ZRXCgJC8x3PrsszxBodRVhn

  From my understanding the cables of the screen white screens LCD is still, this problem started after the update of Windows 10 so I'm reluctant to think it's that. My laptop is still under warranty but do not want to send in if he didn't need that I need for work.

  I found some information online saying that a restore Image will not work, but I have an and you can try it if need be.

  Other information found online says that my computer basically "forgot" that I have a main display to get out information in and make the screen and that's why my second screen works perfectly and me might be able to solve this problem with the start of the saving mode and try to fix it from there again I've never done this and don't want to cause more problems doing things like that.

  What could be the best way to go forward with this problem is to say. :

  * Is there a way to check the LCD cables without disassembling the computer. (Don't want to do that, and don't think it's the fault)

  * System Restore will help

  * Where / who should I contact for help in this regard

  Thanks for any help provided and please tell me if you need any other info to help. I really want to to fix the problem rather than take it to a guy or HP

  It's a bad screen. The upgrade of Windows 10 timing is a coincidence. You can continue to use it as a desktop computer with an external monitor forever.

• Dell Latitude 10 ST2: Screen very dark after the Windows Update 8.1 & gameplay of Diablo 2

  Hello community,

  I just got a new Latitude 10 ST2, and I really appreciated the help until after that I updated for Windows 8.1 and played some Diablo 2. For some reason, my brightness is now always very low, regardless of whether the Adaptive brightness in my power management setting is enabled or disabled. I can manually change the brightness, but it has very little effect. It seems that the maximum brightness is really low for a reason any.

  I don't know if Diablo 2 has nothing to do with this problem, but I though that I would include it here because it uses very outdated graphics techniques that seem not very compatible with Windows 8.1. I had to change the compatibility settings of the game executable for Windows XP Service Pack 2, force them to run with 16-bit colors and also to disable the composition of the bureau. After closing the game, icons on the desktop still seemed a little wide (they looked rather 16-bit color and had some weird artifacts) and I had to restart the tablet to correct. After the reboot of the Tablet, the desktop icons were back to normal, but my light issues began to arrive.

  My first attempt at solving this problem was in the shape of the tablet. I used my USB stick that has the factory settings on it to format the Tablet and reinstall Windows 8. The process was a success, and I had no problem of brightness either. However, after the update to Windows 8.1, then by restarting the Tablet, my issue with the brightness came back.

  My second attempt was to try to update my drivers. I ran the auto updater provided with the Tablet, and it updated my BIOS. Unfortunately, it has not fixed the problem at all. Then, I took a look in the BIOS and found levels of brightness in the video section. The parameters are the following:

  Brightness on battery: 7
  Brightness of AC: 15

  I've tried corresponding to the brightness of the battery at 15, but it has no effect. The light problems don't occur that the Tablet is connected to a power outlet or not, I wasn't really that surprised that it didn't work. A maximum brightness of 15 is normal? (what is a percentage?) I don't want to change these settings without knowing exactly what they represent to avoid damage.

  My third attempt has updated the chipset drivers which includes the video driver. I installed the chipset driver and suddenly after that the screen went black a few times during the installation of the brightness has been completely restored and colors looked nice and bright again. However, when I rebooted the Tablet I found that the problems of brightness was back. Very rarely when I restart the Tablet, the brightness is normal again, but it is super rare. A subsequent reboot simply results in brightness problems return immediately.

  A few other things worth noting that come with the light problems:
  -All color gradients are not smooth. You can very clearly see the differences in brightness when a picture goes to a light color to a dark like a lot of buttons in Windows 8 start menu. It reminds me a lot of 16-bit color;
  -Whenever I try to change the display settings in the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel, nothing happens. No matter how much I fiddle with the brightness, contrast or gamma, nothing changes, even after you apply the settings.
  -Diagnostic in the BIOS tests said that everything is OK;
  -The complete diagnosis provided by the PC Dell Diagnostics program showed that each test passed successfully.

  I really hope that someone can help me with this problem. The screen is also very dark, it makes it quite difficult to use tablet. Thank you!

  Kind regards

  StevenD91

  Thanks for the reply! After much trial and error, I discovered that my graphics driver has been be corrupted by AVG 2014 somehow. After yet another format and reinstall of Windows 8, but without AVG 2014 this time, everything works great! : D

• Black screen after the computer updated

  My day was fine.  I had trouble getting my computer and printer to recognize each other, so I restarted my computer.  We are running Windows 8, I think.  It could be Windows 8.1.  Before it restarted, it finished installing some updates automatically.  When the computer is back to the top, I logged as usual.  Then got a black screen.  We rebooted and powered up the computer turned off several times, but can not further than black screen, unless I hit control, alt, delete and open Task Manager.  How can I fix it so I can use my computer again?
