A105-S4384 Black screen crash with sound loop

Hi all.
Around a week and a half ago I started experiencing a weird type of crash on my 2 year old laptop. It doesn't matter when I'm using the laptop or what I'm using at the time of the black crash.
Basically what happens is I'll be using the laptop, I'll be reading something, typing up a document, listening to music, etc. The programs on the screen may or may not show ________ (Not Responding). It will then cause the screen to go black. If I'm listening to music at the time, it'll cause the music amount remaining in the sound "card's" buffer to loop. To address the issue, I have to hold down the silver power button (with blue LED light) for several seconds so the unit will shut down.
I've verified my drivers using the built in Windows tool (verifier.exe), I've passed DXDiagnostics, I've done the Fujitsu extended hard drive test, SMART testing, I did have upgraded RAM that I replaced with my stock RAM that had been put in an anti-static bag, and it still continues to crash in this manner.
This evening I also went ahead and used compressed air cans to blow dust out of the inside, there was very little dust. So overheating can't be the issue at all.
Even log doesn't show anything out of the ordinary either. There are no viruses or malware/adware/bloatware problems, no software conflicts, etc.
Could I possibly have a corrupt Windows installation on my hands? I really would like to get this fixed.
The only think I have connected to the laptop at any one time is a Logitech MX610 wireless laser mouse via USB dongle.
I've also removed and reinstalled the chipset drivers (945GM Express) and the sound card drivers, this did not help.

Try running sfc /scannow at a command prompt. If it asks for the installation CD, point it to the i386 folder in the Windows directory.

BLACK SCREEN startup with 3 beeps, FREEZES when unplugged, Splash screen freeze, HEAT-UP TO BOOT

BLACK SCREEN startup with 3 beeps, FREEZES when power unplugged, IF IT BOOTS splash screen freezes, OVERHEATING REQUIRED TO BOOT - 0x7B, Event 41 kernel-powe
Issue: One day I unplug the power, the screen freezes and I get frozen music sound. I shut down, start up, I get 3 beeps (1 short 2 long), which indicates a Video failure according to the Thinkpad Laptop beep code list.
How I solve the issue day-to-day: I turn the heat up - I disconnect the battery and hard drive and plug in the power then turn it on. I will wait until the underneath is searing hot with a blanket blocking the fan's flow of air, I mean way hot because any cooler and it won't start. Plug stuff back in, Hard drive first, Battery second, turn off with power button hold, unplug power, replug power.
I turn it on, no beeps, it goes past the first Lenovo screen, then gives me a prompt because it "didn't shut down properly" and continue regular startup. What happens next is the Windows logo appears, and just as the animated windows logo starts to move (you see 2 small colored dots on the screen), it freezes. I see this every time, I know naturally that it means that the laptop is still too hot to go past that point, so I shut it down and try again. After about 5 - 10 tries it will go past the splash screen and into the login area, then it's all fine.
Sometimes when I unplug the power from the back by accident it will freeze. By accident I mean that the connector wiggles it's self out easily. This unplug freezing thing started happening about 1 week before the 3 beep black screen problem started rolling, so I'm putting 2 together.
Errors:
I got a Blue Screen of Death the first time I started it up with the overheating ritual, but I never got it since. It was 0X7B. I ended up changing a setting in BIOS from AHCI to Compatibility Mode, and I passed everything without the BSOD again. I have always had it on AHCI.
I got another Blue Screen of Death about a week ago, but came as it was on already and I had been using it, and said something about disabling Cache or Shadowing in BIOS. I never got it since.
BIOS:
Also, the time was set to 1988 or something in the BIOS.
Event Viewer events found:
1. Kernel-Power, Summary page.
There are critical events for a few things like Kernel-Power, Event ID 41, Task Category (63). There are 19 of them, each day 1 or 2 of them but mostly 1, so this maybe corresponds to my daily ritual.
"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
2. Kernel-Processor-Power - Event ID 37, task category (7)
"The speed of processor 1 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report."
3. LMS - HCMI - Event ID 2, Task Category: none
"LMS Service cannot connect to HECI driver".
I came across a very sluggish performing control panel for Nvidia before and after this problem, and I tried installing a newer version, which I had to jump through a few hoops to do, like uninstalling first, not just updating. At first it said that the driver wasnt made for the system, or that it wasnt compatible or something, which was wrong. I made it work somehow, but it was still sluggish after install. I rolled it back to an earlier driver, and now it works fine oddly. No sluggish performance / slight freeze window thing going on. No problem at all.
MSCONFIG.exe, Boot Advanced Options: I have tried twice to change this 1 setting, check box "Number of processors" and change to 2 processors, because I do have 2 processors. I have been able to change this in the past, but it does not save the setting now, and I believe this option was selected before I started having problems, and settings did not disappear then.
What could this be. The small round BIOS battery? The video card like everyone presumes? (I.E. the entire motherboard replacement), Software? The wiggly power input area? (Not enough power getting in?), Firmware of some sort? The BIOS software being wrong?

You wont get good Nvidia ones on Ebay/forumes anywhere.
I'd beg to differ on both accounts.
*61 series nVidia-based ThinkPads from late January through July of 2008 are a 50/50 shot, since the old chips were mixed with the new ones. Any machine built in August and later can be deemed "safe".
As for the forums (I don't do feebay) there are people who sell genuine, properly-tested planars. However, these do not come at bargain basement prices, and with a good reason if I may add.
Good luck.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011) w/ML Black screen crash everyday since 1.69f4 SMC update

SInce the 1.69f4 SMC upadte installed though the App Store my Macbook has been randomly showing a black screen and the only way to get out of it is to hard reset. After that it takes a couple hours to get going again. Frequently when booting up after the black screen, the Apple logo and spinning ball disappear and it just sits on a white screen with the fan spinning like mad.
I have searched around and tried the SMC, PRAM and hdd disconnect but none of them seem to be a realible fix. It just fixes it self and boots normally when it feels like it.
I've read that black screen crashes can be a problem with the logic board but when it does boot it works perfectly ?? There is no log of any interruption in console or any sort of crash report. When it does restart there is no "your computer had a problem" message either.
Ive only had the laptop for <18months and its has never left my house, it stays docked to thunderbolt display so there cant be any physical damage.
Is there anyway to roll back the SMC firmware? it worked perfectly before this update now im losing 1-3 hours a day trying to get it started again.

do you have any proof fir this trick, because mymackbook pro early 2011 never used SSD for system and stroage.
but i had replace hardisk from toshiba 500 GB 5400rpm to toshiba to 1 TB 7200 rpm were normal almost 1 years.but gettong problem at least 2 month ago .
thanks
everybody who's get try for this trick,please posting it.

PrE 12. How to deal with black screen "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements trial version"?

I'm really considering purchasing PrE 12 and would like to try it out. (I have another video editing software and would like to try this one.)
When I add video, I get a black screen "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements trial version". When I hit play, I can hear audio, but I don't get any video (just the black screen). Is there a work around, a setting that I can change, or is the trial version supposed to show the black screen?

MOVED: Battlefield 4 black screen crash after intro

I've reinstalled, reset settings, lowered frequency, done about everything I could find online and same black screen crash.
Then I used an earlier save and... it WORKS!!!
Resolved!, somehow the latest save file seemed to get corrupt when reinstalling the graphics drivers...? Is that possible?
Thanks to all.
A number of people reported similar problems on other forums.
Resetting the settings or loading a save tended to fix the problems. No idea why.
Either way, glad it's fixed. Enjoy your computer!

Sending videos from iphone 4s to pc. Why do I get black screen but have sound?

Ok I checked and unchecked the playback via camera yesterday and I got black screen both times.
I could delete the imovie prefs when I go over there today.
I'll try another FW cable but it worked perfectly for importing but what the heck I've got one I'll try it.
Yes camera was set to play and not record.
Plenty of free space -- 131 GB.
I'm pretty sure it's in NTSC DV format, but it's someone else's computer so it could have been changed by someone screwin' around not knowing what they're doing making changes.

I have the latest BIOS NV316MH.186 and latest NVIDIA 350.12.
I tried silent mode as I read someting about trying a lower frequency but same problem.
Other games are working great such as GTA V
Is there a fix? Can you help please?

Freeze on blank screen with sound loop when playing steam games

Hi,
I would really appreciate some advice. I've been troubleshooting this problem without success,
Problem:
Playing games on steam*, at some point, sometimes 5 minutes in, sometimes 2 hours in:
- Screen goes blank,
- last sound loops continuously,
- computer completely unresponsive, requires hard shut down
- On restart I get almost the same report every time, though sometimes it referes to CPU 0 and sometimes CPU 2, a sample:

* This also happened one time when using photoshop
What I have tried:
- updating steam and OS X
- closing all apps besides steam
- disabling Vsync in the games
- running games in very low quality
- updating to latest flash beta (steam uses flash for in-app advertising)
- reinstall steam and redownload and reinstall games
- verify and repair disk within OS
- SMART check, RAM test, Video memory test with TechTool Pro, all Pass
- removing peripherals ie. Microsoft bluetooth mouse
- hardware test with OS X install DVD on reboot, detects no problems
- stressing the GPU doing intensive 3D effects in Adobe After Effects, no crash
- stressing GPU using CINEBENCH, no crash
- monitoring temp with Temperature Monitor, Last crash GPU was at around 80 and CPU at around 85
System
mid 2010 MBP
15 inch with Hires display
i7, 4 GB RAM, Nvidia GT330M card
OS X 10.6.6
*Other points*
- Machine is still under 1 yr warranty
- I'm overseas studying design and I really cant afford to to take it in and not have a machine for 2 weeks. I'd really like to exhaust all options before taking it in. I'm also worrying that they will run the hardware test as I did and tell me: no problems found.

I'm so ****** off that it's been weeks and no solution has been provided for this. In the middle of video editing, watching quicktime videos, youtube, or playing any games the computer hard freezes with a black screen and looping audio of about 1/2 second.
FIX IT!

Black screen and no sound with iTunes rentals.

I was going to chalk this up to just a corrupt download, but it's happening too much for mere coincidence now. I rented Captain America: The First Avenger in HD on my Windows 7 machine, only to find that when I tried to play it, I got nothing more than a black screen with no sound. I chalked it up to bad luck and went back to my day, only a few days later, I tried again, only to find the exact same problem had occurred with the exact same movie. I called Apple Support and told them of the problem, and while they refunded my purchases (and gave me 3 free movie rentals), they proposed no solution.
So I tried renting Iron Man 3 today, and the same thing happened. This doesn't occur with any other movies that I own trying to play in iTunes, just with rentals. I've already tried a reinstall, which did nothing, and I'm out of ideas.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
Great to have the Video back

Why do I get a black screen and no sound with video in iTunes 8?

Just downloaded the new iTunes. I don't have any video playback when I click preview in the store. No video when I try to play anything that I've already downloaded. The play cursor moves but I have a black screen with no sound. I'm hoping this is just a temporary glitch.
Any recommendations? I'm using the latest version of Leopard 10.5.4 on an Intel iMac.
PS: This same question is posted in iTunes download category too.
