XPS 8700 - black screen before you get to the screen of Windows 7. Help please.

Hello. I recently bought 8700 XPS, replaced the 550W PSU and video card MSI GTX 660.

The problem I have is the booting takes too long, almost 2 minutes. I see the screen black for about 1 minute before it goes to the screen of Windows 7.

I updated the driver vga for later and others through dell system detects as well.

What should I do to get rid of the black screen and reduce startup time?

Boot in the Bios F2. Go to start. Boot USB support is set to disabled? If not, change it to disabled. Press F10 to exit the Bios and reboot.

  • XPS 8700 Black Screen at startup

    It started with some intermittent problems with USB 3.0 connections that would disconnect/re-connect randomly while you are trying to transfer large backups (front and rear taken showing the same questions).
    Called Dell and they have decided that it was a hardware problem which could be solved by replacing the motherboard. After two changes of motherboard (the first being DOA!) I am now left with a PC that has a delay of one minute (with a black screen), startup stops correctly, but also do not restart as it crashes during the stop in this case.
    Have you tried many tests to diagnose the problem, including the withdrawal of the graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti) and reinstalling different drivers (WiFi, Bluetooth, NETWORK card) but no change to the start or restart customer.
    I also removed my 1 TB mSATA (on which I have 8.1 Windows installation) and the 2 TB HDD Dell and inserted a clean formatted HDD. I then plugged the Dell Windows 8.1 recovery USB drive and rebooted. Exactly the same behavior: white light, the light turns off, a black screen for about a minute, then white light comes back on and the computer starts normally - in this case, the recovery on the USB stick software.
    Dell have now agreed to replace the PC with a new one (as it is only a few months old), but I'd be interested if anyone has a vision of what could be the cause of these problems. My guess is that it's another faulty motherboard.

    Sorry, that did not help...

    You are not alone with this problem, and there seems to be a Windows problem based on what I read. Others have solved the problem on the XPS 8700 by installing a USB3 PCI-e card in the PCI-e x 1 slot...

  • Black screen of Windows RESUME Loader

    I use Windows Vista on a laptop Everex NC1510.  When I try to start it I get a black screen titled "Windows resume Loader.  When I said "Continued with the summary of the system" and press the Enter key to select this option, nothing happens.  The computer continues to be stuck on this screen.  I bought a new computer, but it's out of warranty.  I have misplaced the Windows restore disc (in fact I don't ever remember have one).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

    Here is the info on the recovery media, as you say that you do not have a Vista disc.

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

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

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    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 using a third party partition manager program left to extend my Windows 8 partition, the system of Windows 8 start to a black screen and Windows 8 partition of the drive letter has changed

    Original title: problems of Windows 8

    I have Windows 7 (32 bit) and Windows 8 (64-bit) is installed in a dual boot. I tried to extend the partition of Windows 8 with a third party partition manager. Subsequently, I restarted after having learned so much.

    Later, the first thing I saw was that the locked screen image is replaced by a blue color. Photos of the user are also missing. Once connected, it took a long time for windows everything ready, and I'm stuck in a black screen with the mouse pointer.

    I entered in Safe Mode and found that the drive for Windows 8 letter has been changed (C: = Windows 7;) D: = recovery partition; E: = Windows 8, new drive letter; F: = Windows 8, old drive letter), I tried to change the drive letter, but it does not work.

    Partition of Windows 7 works well (it is what I currently use to put this problem), and I can access the data in the partition of Windows 8. I tried the methods of different repair without result (such as chkdsk and sfc/scannow).

    Can someone help me with this please? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I understand that you have a problem of black screen with Windows 8 and the drive letter for the partition of Windows 8 is also changed. This problem is due to the use of the third party partition manager program because it affects the registry files and causes the instability of the system.

    Try to run auto repair from the Windows recovery environment and check if that helps.

    Method 1: start the recovery environment with installation of Windows 8 media.

    It is another way to boot the PC and launch recovery tools when something goes wrong with the operating system.

    Please follow the steps below. Insert the DVD to install Windows 8 on DVD-ROM and restart your computer.

    (a) once you start your computer by using the Windows DVD or the system repair disc, a black screen is displayed with the gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.

    (b) select the good time and the type of keyboard .

    (c) click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.

    (d) select Troubleshooting to Choose an option screen.

    (e) click on advanced options in Troubleshooting screen.

    (f) click Auto repair of Advanced Options screen.

    (g) following, choose the operating system by clicking on its button.

    (h) Windows 8 will be looking for problems on the hard drives and verify that all required files are intact.


    Method 2: Run the restoration of the system of the Advanced Options screen.

    System Restore to restore your computer to a previous state, quickly and easily without losing any of your files and personal settings. Sometimes when you install programs or drivers, they can affect some system settings and prevent other programs to function properly. You can use system restore to restore these settings to their previous state

    Follow these steps:

    (a) once you start your computer by using the Windows DVD or the system repair disc, a black screen is displayed with the gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press a button on any.

    (b) select the good time and the type of keyboard .

    (c) click on repair your computer in the lower left corner.

    (d) select Troubleshooting from the Choose an option screen.

    (e) click on advanced options in Troubleshooting screen.

    (f) select System restore.

    After the system restore your documents and files will always remain to their previous state.

    If you do not install Windows 8 media, I suggest you connect to any other computer and create a floppy disk to install Windows 8. Using this disk, you can run the troubleshooting provided methods.

    How to create the installation media for a PC refresh or reset:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

    You can also try the same steps using the bootable USB key. You must select USB as the first boot to the BIOS device.

    Note: Microsoft don't recommend any third-party partition manager program because it corrupts the registry files and cause the instability of the system.

    Write to us if you're still having problems. We will help you.

  • EqualLogic - how to level a new table before you add to the Group

    I have a new table which is v7 and I try to add a group of v8.  It won't join the group due to version incompatibility.  How to pass it to v8 so I can join the Group?  Thank you.

    Hello

    Create a new group with one member.  I wouldn't use the Remote Setup Wizard to do this.  Who sets policy RAID that requires you to wait that ends before you can upgrade the firmware.

    I would rather the serial port.  Then, you need to only configure port network and the new IP group.

    Once you answer the basic questions are the GrpName > cli prompt you can then transfer the kit to upgrade and update the firmware.

    Once you run the "update" process and restarted the table, reconnect and make sure it is in the new revision.  GrpName > show Member which will show.

    The CLI run "reset" to return unit to factory reset, and you can now add in your other group.

    Kind regards

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.
