Will be upgrading to Windows 7 get rid of black screen at startup?

original title: kSOD question/idea.

I was kSOD'd on my Dell XPS in early May. Since then I spent looking for a solution. I do not have a cursor, recovery mode does not work, safe mode does not work, sticky keys does not work. The list of possible solutions, I tried but nothing helped. I recently tried to call Dell and ask for a Vista reinstall disk but they wanted me just to upgrade to Windows 7.

My question is will be upgraded to Windows 7 to get rid of the kSOD? I hesitate because I don't want to spend money to buy Windows 7 if it won't work.

Normally, the upgrade of an operating system does not solve problems.

Do you have advice from Dell speak you of their recovery Partition, as you do not have a recovery disk?

    Hello

    On start-up companies normal, the screen displays a lenovo logo when I press the power button.

    You can hear the fans running and everything but the screen is black and just freezes and won't load or put it off until I force shutdown it.

    Tried a few options of online forums (for example may be due to the option of starting fast wndows 8, so I turned it off but it still does not work, updated all the updates that are available via windows update but still does not work).

    I can still power the computer on, but his persistent forced outages after until he is able to power up, sometimes that can take nearly an hour.

    Hi myrnaspiers,

     

    1. What is the exact error you get when you try to start windows.

    2. what type of installation you have done, it's a custom Setup or an upgrade.

    3. check if you have the option to go back to the old version of windows.

    I suggest you follow the link to black screen when I start Windows 7 below.

  • can I choose the photo of the start and end positions to get rid of black borders?

    I tried to use the trial version of first elements 8 before buy you to see if it's able to do what I need to.

    I want to create a dvd photo, which is simple. I would like to use the scale feature to get rid of black borders and choose the start or end point of the photo.  the resolution of the photos are also terrible on screen, and when I import out in an uncompressed avi file. The photos are really high resolution and are very well in other programs.  Some of the photos sparkle even with anti flicker option enabled up to 100%.

    Adobe first elements may be able to make a dvd photo, or should I look at another adobe program?

    As Steve, pre can get you a DVD-video or a BD (for HD projects), but these will be on video and will be limited to the resolution of these two broadcast formats. If this is what you want, then the pre will do just fine.

    Regarding the images, I would NOT use all (or many) on the scale. Instead, I want to resize the images to match the size of the frame of the video project in Photoshop. This ARTICLE will give you some information and some advice.

    Good luck

  • Given to nine Compaq 7700, BSoD, boot XP infinite loop, can't even get past the black screen to enter Windows. STOP: 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0XF773B15F, 0XF78D2520, 0XF78D221C)

    Help.

    I just got a refurbished Compaq 7700. It has Windows XP for drives of the refurbished computers.

    I try to boot from the hard drive (HD) and infinite loops, it is never past the initial home screen (black with blue status bar).

    I can't open the safe or the HD mode, it freezes at kmxstart.sys and then restarts again.

    I tried to boot from the disk and created Windows appears, then load the files, but then automatically tries to start Windows (without repair option). It then jumps to the BSoD with error code (after advice to verify sufficient disk space, to disable the driver identified, to change video cards, BIOS updates...)

    Apparently, this driver is a printer driver? I don't have a printer, but do not know how to disable it without access to windows.

    I got a new Philips 18.5 "monitor, an optical mouse and a keyboard with it.

    My guess is that the screen is the problem, because it was full again when I received and therefore not tested with the system before shipping. Not sure about the mouse and the keyboard.

    I tried a few options in the BIOS screen as well, but no dice.

    Start the computer in safe mode (press F8 continuously immediately after power and don't worry beeps when you press the button) and let it boot without a network.  Once there right click on the desktop and then click Properties.  Click settings and the value of the monitor mode (640 X 480) VGA or SVGA (800 X 600).  Accept the changes and restart the computer.  You should have a mediocre screen, but you should see it now.  Download and install the appropriate drivers for your video card in the laptop to the web site of the manufacturer of the laptop.  Install the drivers and then you should be able to set the display of the laptop to the correct native resolution for your computer monitor (must be in the documentation of the laptop).
  • Problem re-installing VISTA after the removal of Windows 8 Preview Release, all I get is a black screen with a message "Not found operating system"

    I recently tried Win 8 on my VAIO laptop spare parts on which I ran Vista, after having previously deleted all the files and documents (I don't use often the laptop). Having concluded that Win8 will really work correctly with a touch screen (and the display size was bad as well), I uninstalled WIN 8, understand that I have to re - install Vista from my rescue disks. This I tried successfully a few months previously to make a clean reinstall. However, after removing 8 WIN via the Control Panel, I can't re - install Vista now. All I get is a black screen with a message "The operating system not found" and the rescue disks do not register. What can I do? I like Vista (although I now run Win 7 on my PC) and really want to put it back. Grateful for the advice.

    Well I finally fixed it by tweaking the BOOT BIOS settings and find something along the lines of VAIO Setup. I'm afraid, I just don't remember exactly what I did, but suddenly I found and ran 'VAIO Hardware Diagnostics' gave me a heart when it announced "no error was detected on the Vaio. Then I saw there was an entry for 'VAIO Recovery Utility - Recovery Wizard' and everything started to load. Since the 2 recovery discs I had. Finally, I ran MS Office and Small Business CD-ROM and now everything is back the way that it used to be. Here I had taken more note of how I got to the well Recovery Wizard. I hope that I never have to do it again!

  • Computer does not start, all I get is a black screen

    I use family Vista premium and everything worked right up until the other day. My computer froze and I stopped it to restart. After the reboot, it gave me the ability to start windows normally or in safe mode. I selected at startup of windows. After that, I got was a black screen. The computer is still running, I can hear the fans and the ligts are on.

    Hello

    May I ask what computer do you have?
    Why you n t post this important information?

    You can start in safe mode? Maybe a driver or a virus has something confused upward in the Windows registry and the computer can start t more correctly.

    In the worst case, you must reinstall Windows using Toshiba recovery disc. :(
