Vista black startup screen

My mother's computer was working fine until one day I connected my external hard drive.

Now it just turns on and goes to a black screen. Keyboard does not work because the Verr Maj light will not and I don't see anything.

I found a temporary solution, its that I have let it charge for about 5-10 minutes, forcing the closing down and turn it on.

But when I restart/stop on it, it goes to the black screen again.

So I ask you, is there a permanent solution to this?

Also, I tried the system restore, nothing helped. Someone on Dr. Tech told me to restore the driver I installed to the external hard drive, will that help?

Thanks in advance!

Hello

Yes, it can be very difficult if not impossible to solve. You can try a full reinstall of the
Windows Vista who would lose all the files and data on the disk. Or you can take it to a shop
Difficulty or save your data and files. Another way to save data and files is to put the reader
in another computer as a 2nd drive or external case and copy them to other media.

I hope this helps.

  • Satellite A300 PSAJ4E - black startup screen from SATA HDD

    Hello

    I have a problem with my A300: when I try to reboot from the disk sata hard I only see black screen...

    If I try to boot from ide/atapi CD/DVD-RW with XP (F12 to select the cd player) installation cd, Ubuntu live cd, boot any cd that it does not start and I see still black screen. The hard drive is seen correctly by the BIOS, can I read/write data to this topic with an external sata-usb cable and it can also boot from a different usb port on the laptop!

    If the disk sata hard precipitates the A300 can regularly starts without a problem since CD/DVD-RW!

    I also try to put the disk sata hard in the second span, but without result, the 2nd hard drive is inserted into the excluded boot device. Can someone help me?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    > If the disk sata hard precipitates the A300 can regularly start without problem since CD/DVD-RW!

    Have you changed the HARD drive or the CD/DVD drive in the past?
    As far as I know not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different settings master/slave/c-selc.
    If using bad CD/DVD player could cause this issue

    In addition, it could also be a problem of the motherboard controller.
    But try to set the BIOS to the default settings. To access the BIOS and then press F9 (I guess). Save changes and check again.

  • Black startup screen to the Satelite A30

    My A30 satellite has a screen, black start if you pay attention, you can see the Toshiba logo windows XP starts logo and the opening page with the password, even if it is very dark.

    I had a lot of problems with it in the past, often because it is overheating and then turns off.

    It doesn't work unless it is plugged.

    To add to this, it is about 5 years old and I am currently in the Japan, so I can't fix in the near future.

    Any suggestions as to what I can do?

    Hello

    > If you pay attention you can see the windows of logo Toshiba XP starts logo and the opening page with the password, even if it is very dark.
    For me, this looks like a FL-inverter problem.

    Have you checked if the same question is displayed on the external monitor? Select this check box. Connect the laptop to the external display and check if the same question would appear on the second monitor.

    If the display on the external monitor is fine, then the card doesn t is malfunctioning and the FL inverter or the internal LCD screen could be faulty.

    However, it s always difficult to provide certain diagnoses and in my opinion you should definitely ask an ASP for the laptop, check.

    Good luck and best regards

  • Boots Vista black screen with white cursor and nothing else (Black Screen of Death)

    After a download from Microsoft update last week, my system has rebooted. He first had a screen blue error, rebooted, reported a disk error and automatically run CHKDSK. Since then, the system has started a black with white slider screen and nothing else. This happens at startup options (Normal, safe, safe with the last command good known configuration). Not even sticky keys would come to the top. CTRL-Alt-Delete, Ctrl-Alt-Esc and all other keys has nothing did. Even with a right click.

    I searched all over the web for solutions. I found (and tried) several over the past week, but nothing has worked.

    Here's what I tried...

    F8 held key on boot to the top and entered the startup recovery. Ran of recovery. Initially so found of disk errors. Those fixed. Then he said he could not repair the system and reported two pilot errors.

    Tried system restore. He said that I had no restore points (even if I know that I had before).

    With the help of recovery options, I went to the command prompt. Asked to RegEdit and load the Software hive. Checked the connection entry Windows NT; made sure, it has been set to explorer.exe

    The system, checked RpcSs Key hive. Already the NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService value

    Renamed event connects winevt and not create the Logs folder

    Removed the hard drive. Attached to another system (as slaves), and the registered file permissions. They have screwed everything up. The fixed file permissions and drive put back in original system.

    Œuvres self-retaining keys now. Do not, however, as my sticky keys doesn't have a link to configuration.

    Went back into recovery startup via the F8 key at startup. Now, when I run start recovery, it says that everything is going well and there is no problem.

    I have download the hotfix from article 977675 Microsoft, but I don't know how I can apply it without being able to get into windows. I would like to contact MS e-mail or chat support, but I can't get the product ID without being able to connect (frustrating talk).

    I would like to reinstall OS, but HP does not provide an installation disc with their systems (only a full restore partition). My system is backed up (with the exception of the Windows folder), but I really don't want to have to make a full recovery, as I have a lot of specialized programs and settings that would probably take me a week to re - install and re - set.

    Anyone have any new ideas?

    Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
    CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then

  • Help with Windows Vista black screen

    I have a Windows Vista SP1 64 bit with 8 GB of RAM and 2 3850's Radeon ATi CrossFireX. in any case, I have a program called mechanical system, you've all probably heard before, this is an excellent program to clean your hard disk and defragment your memory. However, I ran last night and said the program automatically restarts the computer when it ended, after that he finished and I rebooted was greeted with the atrocious Black Screen of Death with a cursor, if it is not blinking and I can move it freely, but there is nothing I can do with it given the background task bar is non-existent and the entire screen is black.

    I tried some of the solutions, I can not even the CTRL + ALT + DELETE to get into task manager and manually start explorer.exe; Help me please. The only type of response I can get from the system is to obtain the keys to stick to pop up when I hit the SHIFT key five times. I am very confused. I don't have external hard drives hooked up to it and there is no thumb-drive connected via USB either. I'm completely puzzled here. Please help me.

    Hello

    System Mechanic, by Iolo is one of the best of this type of program, he's trying to at least
    be legitimate, however it is still a Registry Cleaner and system optimizer that leaves a
    much to be desired in terms of compatibility. These programs are more likely to ask questions
    While fixing anything. Most are like snake oil. So my advice would be to uninstall. If you insist
    use make sure you have done a current Restore Point before using it and keep current backups
    on the primary drive.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
    are a few others.

    You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
    Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
    Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

    Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

  • Two copies of windows vista to startup.

    I have two copies of windows vista to startup. How can I remove one of the copies?

    1. Close all running programs and open the windows if you are back on the desktop.
    2. Click on the Start () button.
    3. In the search box of the Start Menu () type msconfig and press enter on your keyboard.
    4. The System Configuration utility opens
    5. Click the Startup tab.
    6. You will now be on the screen start as shown below options.

    Click on the Vista boot entry you don't want > delete it.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    To solve your problem correctly, reinstall Vista using a custom Setup to remove whatever you already have installed versions of Vista:

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.

    Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

  • Black login screen

    When starting, a black login screen prevents my screen 4 K of login in. Computer must be stopped with force and restarted. Memory NVRAM/PRAM resetting has not helped.

    It seems that it is a problem with the mac and display negotiate the appropriate resolution.

    You can use the mac at all? After the reboot, does it work?

    It works with a different view?

    You can try to connect "blind"? It is possible that after a disconnection of the display and the figure of mac it. (Weird, I know; but it is not really difficult to connect even without the screen, if you know what position in the list, your account is just press the left or right arrow keys, enter, password, enter).

    Maybe better, if you have access to another mac, use the screen sharing feature to connect; then go to system-> Display Preferences and try to choose a frame that works.
