MSI R9 270X - Black Screen after Win7 logo

Hello there.
About a week ago I upgraded my PC, buying several components and putting it to work. Here's the specs.
Main Board: M5A97 EVO R2.0
Bios Version: Latest
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270X TwinFrozr OC Edition 2Gb
PSU: Don't know
12v rail Rating of listed PSU:
CPU: AMD FX 8350 4.0Ggz BE SkAM3+
Memory: 8Gb Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600Mhz
SSD/ HDD: Western Digital WD10EZRX-00A8LB0 1TB
CPU COOLER: The one that came with the CPU
Raid Card: Onboard
Sound Card: Onboard
OC: (Yes / No) Don't know
Operating System: Win 7 SP 1 64
So, it worked just fine for about 3 days. Last Saturday night I tried to open Google Chrome after some gaming and the the system froze. I got a screen with vertical black and white stripes. I had to reboot the system and it gave me a black screen, crashing again, after the Win Logo at start up. At this time I was running either 14.7 or 14.9 ATI drivers.
I could only start the PC on Safe Mode. Removing the drivers and getting Windows general VGA card settings would allow me to use Windows in normal mode though. Once I installed the Graphic Card's drivers it crashed on reboot, always with the black screen after Win logo. I installed several ATI drivers, namelly 14.9, 14.11 beta, 13.12... and nothing worked.
I flashed the Mother Board BIOS to the latest version, formatted the HDD doing a fresh install of Win 7, installed Catalyst first and then the drivers, the drivers without catalyst, etc. and nothing worked, always getting a black sreen on reboot once the Graphic Card's drivers were installed. I even swapped the Graphic Card to a different slot to no avail.
Right now I'm using my old Radeon HD 5670 with the latest drivers and everything works just fine. It even works fine if I keep both Graphic Cards installed with the monitor plugged to the older card. I find this odd since to do so, Windows loads both cards drivers with no errors. But once I switch to the new card everything goes black.
Can someone help me out? I've tried to contact my vendor's technical support through mail but they're not answering. I fear that I'll have to report it as DOA and swap it out, which will take quite some time taking into consideration the way things tend to work around here.
EDIT - I don't have a 2nd system to test it on.

Nope. Not driver issue at all. I tested at least 3 different drivers, all with the same result. Besides, I used both Driver Fusion and Driver Cleaner and CClean to remove any non-deleted registry entries. Always got the same problem. Went as far as formating the drive and doing a clean Win install. The problem persisted.
Tried installing drivers without Catalyst to no avail. Tried installing Cataltst first and then the drivers. Nothing. It always crashed omce the drivers were installed.

  • Black screen after windows logo problem

    Hi people, i have the HP Probook 4530s LH306EA and i have been using it for 3 years without any problems but this week after i did a restart on my laptop i got a black screen after the windows logo.
    The problem is whenever i install the AMD Display driver it says that there were some errors during the install and the pc freezes and restarts into a black screen...
    AMD Display drivers 13.152-130830A-162882C(18 Oct 2013)
    Windows 8.1 64bit
    Is there any solution to this or some other drivers?

    you wouldn't by chance be attempting to use a Sandforce controller using SSD?

  • MSI R9 270x OC edition 4gb - black screen after windows logo

    Good afternoon,
    I am the proud owner of 2 x MSI R9 270x OC edition 4gb cards, One is working a treat, the other is not.
    When I use on of them, I get the boot screen (the one with the option to go into the BIOS), then I get the Windows logo, then nothing but a black screen, output from the card is detected by the monitor (green light at the bottom instead of stand by) but nothing else. the other card works perfect on its own.
    They are both detected when I run windows in safe mode.
    This also happens if I run crossfire on both cards.
    SN/ 602-V303-095B1312011152 (this is the good one)
    SN/ 602-V303-095B1312011157 (this is the bad one)
    Could this be a BIOS issue?

    I went to this page
    MSI Global GT60 2OD
    I did download the file w8_E16F4IMS.50E.zip AHCI Bios then flashed the bios file using the flash utility afuwinx64.exe provided in the folder. I typed at the DOS command window inside windows 8 x64 the command afuwinx64.exe E16F4IMS50E after that the fans of notebook made noise and at the DOS window showed OK DONE for all steps of flashing. Then i shut down windows 8 . Power the notebook hit del enter the New flashed bios hit f9 for optimal settings then  save changes and restart. After the restart black screen. What did i made wrong?
    You need to use included "FLASHWIN.BAT" [which contain all required parameters] to flash it,
    else your notebook will be bricked.

  • Please Help: iMac black screens after startup logo + spinning wheel no cursor).

    Hi, guys.
    I'm in a fair bit of a desperate situation; my iMac's screen seems to shut down every time after the white startup screen. The Apple logo appears, & the progress wheel begins spinning, then after a while - when it would usually then go to the gray login screen - it would, instead, go black. I can tell that the machine is still on (I can still hear it clicking as it does during processing) but I'm unable to determine anything else. Nothing is visible on the screen - not even the cursor - it's as if the display had turned off completely. I'm not sure if the login screen sits beneath that black screen (I have tried to log on by typing my login details in blindly, but even if it does log in, it's hard to determine what state the computer is in without seeing the screen.
    I have tried the PRAM reset (holding CMD+OPT+P+R) during both the white startup screen, & the black screen to no avail. It seems unresponsive because I don't hear any additional chimes that I've been told should be heard during a PRAM reset attempt. I can't even be sure that the command is being inputted correctly because the light on my wireless keyboard remains off during the process.
    I've tried rebooting over & over again; the results are the same.
    The steps that led to the problem occurred thusly:
    1 - I was trying to clear some memory from my current session, so I scanned through my active processes, quitting anything which seemed to be eating up considerable amounts of memory.
    2 - One particular process I quit was 'launchd' which was functioning under my profile username.
    3 - After quitting launchd, all opened apps seemed to close, & it looked like I was forcibly logged off the machine. The screen froze during this point, & I decided to do a hard reboot to log back in.
    4 - The problem began after this hard reboot; startup seemed to occur as per usual; white screen > apple logo > progress wheel > and then suddenly, a black screen where the login screen should be.
    I've shown a flashlight into the screen while it's black & it seems well & truly like the display has shut down while the iMac continues in the background. I have had issues relating to my screen going black before, but they were random & intermittent; they didn't occur without fail during the exact same time immediately after startup, & could be remedied by using the CTRL+OPT+EJT keys.
    I am on an iMac 2010, 27", using I believe Lion OSX. I am unable to recall additional specifications while the problem persists.
    Could anybody please help me? I'm quite desperate; I was in the middle of some urgent work that I need to get back to as soon as possible.
    Thank you I'm advance to anyone with advice on how I can go about fixing this.

  • Windows 8 black screen after Dell logo?

    My computer was being really slow the past couple of days so i did a system scan with reg cure pro and it told me i had to restart my laptop. After restarting my laptop it showed
    the dell logo and then just a black screen. Every time i restart my laptop it does the same logo then black screen. When i click the power button it turns of instantly instead of the usual 3 or so seconds of holding the button. I have looked up this issue
    but have not found a fix.I cannot/do not know how to restore windows 8 because ,y laptop came without the installation disk and when i try to access the advanced settings it is still just another black screen with the words "f12 boot
    options" in the bottom right corner. I have also seen people talking about 2 different styles of this black screen. One with a black screen but a light border and the second just a black screen. The one mine seems to be is that there is a bright border
    along the edges of my laptop screen but black everywhere else. If you have found a fix to this problem or have a temporary solution please post a comment. Thank you.

    Issue already solved from Dell inspiron n5110 Series, Follow the step to get your screen at better resolution....
    1. Install Windows 8 Pro
    2. Use External Monitor to View the Screen of Windows 8 After Installation or Run in Safe Mode To Access Windows 8 at Low Screen Resolution
    3. Download the Bios Driver (New one) for your Laptop from Dell.com website,
    4. Install the Bios ( Remember to connect the AC and DC )
    5. Once Bios Installed and system Restarted you can disconnect the External Monitor if you did attached
    6. That is Done, Now you have a Windows 8 in your Dell inspiron 

  • Acer XB270HU black screen after windows logo for about 20-30 seconds

    Hi all,On a fresh and fully up to date OS (Win 7) with 2x GTX 980 Ti I have an issue where the screen goes black (No Signal) just after windows logo. Im using UEFI SDD boot flow, have secured boot disabled. Im connected with DispayPort 1.1 (not sure if that matters). This issue did not occur after getting to Windows just after the reinstallation of the OS (no drivers, no updates). It started to occur after the OS got fully up 2 date. Any ideas? As Im losing 30 seconds on boot-up with UEFI so it feels like IDE....

    I also have the same issue, it only started a few days ago and ive had it for 2 weeks. Sometimes when I start up the computer, it will say no signal and my secondary monitor will turn on and take its place as the primary monitor. A restart will fix this issue, but then my Acer goes black, says no signal, comes back at a resolution of 600:800 and then 1920:1090, and changes again to its native 2560:1440.
    Not to mention G-SYNC does not work at all on my monitor. I can't beleive they charge $1,000 for this extremely mediocre at best monitor

  • Black Screen after W7 logo before login screen - HELP!

    Hi,
    When I start windows, after Windows 7 start logo, I get a black screen for about 20-40
    seconds, then a black screen with cursor for around 1 and a half minute and then I get the login screen, thats around after 3minutes.
    I am facing this problem for quite some time now, I also did a clean windows installation
    after wiping out harddisk using diskpart. But it was of no use, still I get that annoying Black Screen at startup and I think my laptop is a bit slow too. When
    I open windows in safe mode, I get the Black screen there too but for like 35-45 seconds.
    I also ran Dell PC Checkup, everything is fine.
    I'd be really grateful if someone helps me find out what exactly is wrong with my laptop
    and how can I get rid of this black screen, thanks!

    Did you make any changes recently before this issue? Have you looked into the event viewer for any related recorded information? regarding to reinstallation, are you using a offical installation disc or an image customized by yourself? Any 3 rd party seervices

    Unplug all the external devices, except mouse and keyboard and then restart the computer.

  • MSI GE60 0NC black screen after updating to windows 8.1

    Hey, guys! I updated my laptop last night to windows 8.1 and everything went smoothly until the final boot wherein, after signing in to my account, there's only a black screen and mouse cursor. I tried finding solutions online like using sfc but it only fixes it for several minutes. Only the task manager works. Please help me.

    Hello @emoakaely,
    I understand that after doing the Windows 8.1 update you are not able to access your computer and you are inquiring as to how to unistall it. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8), which wil walk you through how to restore your computer back to a point in time before you ran the update. This will in essence reverse the update for you.
    ***This will not affect your personal files it will only restore your computer's operating system back to before the update.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great weekend!

  • Black Screen after windows logo

    Good evening. So i got a bit angry and kinda hit my laptop...then the screen had some green lines on it so i switched it off, after that after switching it back on the screen goes black after the windows logo i am only able to see the cursor. If i use safe mode it works. So i don't know what to do. Thanks in advance guys.

    Hi,
    At this point, my best guess would be a problem with the HDD.  This would be consistent with damage following an impact and with the notebook being able to start in safe mode ( less read/write load ) - it would also explain why the uefi diagnostics throw an error as it needs to access to the HP_TOOLS partition.
    When in safe mode, you could try disabling all start-up items and services ( apart from Microsoft services ), then reboot and see if it will load any further - if it does then manage to load the OS, this would tend to confirm that the issue is with the drive and it'll need to be replaced.

  • Black Screen after ASUS logo but before WINDOWS logo and logon screen

    Ok. So I have a custom built PC with an i5 Intel core and windows7.
    PC was working fine, but the next day after booting it up, I would get the usual ASUS logo with "press f2 or del to enter bios"... and this is usually followed by a 2 second WINDOWS loading bar going into the logon screen. But after the ASUS logo,
    the loading bar doesnt show.. and the screen just dims like it went into sleep mode and nothing can wake it up or anything. The PC, fans and everything are still running and working fine.
    From what Ive read up and researched on this so far.. it may most likely be some sort of admin/privilege issue. But I have no way of entering safe mode. Pressing/holding F8 brings up a boot up menu, not the advanced boot options to select safe mode T_T.
    What do I do?

    Hi,
    Like Rick said, it sounds like your computer is with problem instead of Operating System.
    Thus I suggest you send your computer to ASUS support center to take a hardware detection.
