    What do you mean what is the issue?  My screen goes black while gaming.  I have to force restart my computer to get it to recover.  Two minutes of searching on this forum shows it is one of two problems.

  • Satellite A300 - After BIOS update black screen

    Hello all,
    I just applied the BIOS update on my Satellite A300. After the update successful, the system does a reboot. Now when I try to power it up I get no display, I can hear the hear running, the CD Drive reading the DVD, led blinking.
    The Toshiba ASP tolled me (phone call) the mainboard should be replaced after a unsuccessful bios update, but it's very expensive for me, :(
    Please can you tell me if they are any way to fix it without mainboard replacement? The bios is a Insyde and according to the website the bios has bios [Recovery Technology|http://www.insydesw.com/press/2008/press_060308.htm]. I guess that the ASP doesn't know that.
    Please can you tell me how to start the recovery procedure if it's possible (key combination?),
    Any help about fixing the laptop without mainboard replacement will be much appreciated.

    There are cases when the chip that containes the bios is removed from the motherboard and with a memory writing device (special to do this) it is posible to rewrite the bios(in my country, Romania it is not possible at the Toshiba Service, they change the motherboard wich cost 400-500 euro, but there are guys in electronics who do things like this...).
    This is the happy case to rewrite, when this is possible. But there are exceptions when you can't do anything and you have to change the motherboard.(bad bios update coud burn your entire motherboard or several components /parts).
    In what I've read " For example, on other manufactures PC compatible systems with Award BIOS and AMI BIOS there is dedicated small area, often about 8 kiB or so, called bootblock which starts first" , if your bios si from award or ami they have lets say a small progam which starts first, checks if bios is oki then is booting normal , if not it tries to recover it and boot.
    In your case this is not possible even if you have the specific computer with that kind of bios because the screen doesn't start.
    *Your case is simillar to mine* so you could hope that your video card is broken and not your motherboard.
    My advice to you is to go to the service and diagnostic the problem and see what is the solution.

  • I flashed the BIOS on my dv4 2045dx with the F17 BIOS, NOW Black screen, PLEASE HELP

    I flashed the BIOS on my dv4 2045dx with the F17 BIOS, NOW Black screen. Now even when pressing the windows  and the B key when powering, the screen stay black. Lights, fan, HD, USB drive with HP_TOOLS partition and bios backup flashes goes on for some time with some beeping every 15 sec.
    I try to plug it on to a external monitor without luck.
    What's next? Can I reload a BIOS from a CD? Anyone have an idea?
    Thanks

    Hello KenyaKitten
    I understand after flashing your bios the PC will not boot.  I will do all I can to help with this issue.
    First thing let’s do a hard reset, remove all devices from the PC including battery and power cable. Once all is removed press and hold power button for 15-20 seconds. Once that is done insert only battery and charging cable.  Try to boot now, if getting same response move to next line below.
    Next, I want you to try is to boot into the bios menu. Turn the PC off and as you turn it on tap the F10 key repeatedly. Hopefully this boots you into the bios menu. Screen will look a little bluish grey and have setup utility across the top.
    Also if the PC starts beeping at you while you’re tapping you can stop. Now if you reach that screen you may get a box that say save changes and exit choose no. (Note your mouse doesn't work on this screen so you would need to use the arrow keys)
    After that press F9 another box will up come about reset defaults, accept that. Then press F10 to save and exit. The notebook will attempt to boot.
    Also please inform me if you notice the number lock or caps lock keys blinking off and on. Also please let me know if the PC beeps at you while tapping F10 regardless if the bios comes up or not.
    Please respond at your earliest convenience when you get further information.
    Thank you.
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
    Clicking the 'Accept as Solution' button is a way to let others know which steps helped solve the problem!

  • Satellite L300 - BIOS update caused screen to go black

    Got Tempro notice to upgrade Bios on Satellite L300. During upgrade installation, laptop rebooted by itself. Result is charge light on and power light on, fan running but screen is black. What do I need to do to recover the machine.

    Hello
    Try this workaround posted by Akuma.
    Normally you must not do all updates that TEMPRO says. You should only update the BIOS or drivers if you have an issue with the notebook.
    A BIOS update is always a little bit risky.
    In worst case you must go to an ASP. The technicians can try to reflash the ROM module or exchange the mainboard.

  • Satellite L - After BIOS update the screen is black

    Hello,
    I made a BIOS update on my Windows 7 64 bit and then the OS get frozen. After I restarted the laptop, there is only black and nothing appears on the laptop.
    What can I do?

    Hi
    Have you tried to remove the battery and AC/DC adaptor? You should test this and after one hour you can connect both devices again.
    In worst case you need help from an authorized service provider. The technicians can try to reflash the ROM module.
    Sorry, but I think in this case you can do nothing.

  • ACER ASPIRE 5560G BIOS ISSUE

    I purchased a Acer Aspire 5560g yesterday second hand , lappy worked great. Was updating all the drivers one of which was the BIOS. The install went through and then upon reboot the machine Black Screened. No HDD activity no display. Just a solid Blue light on front bezel fan running. Connected to external monitor and still nothing. From all Ive read it sounds like the BIOS installed hosed. Can someone PLEASE give me a good step by step on how to reflash the BIOS on this machine using a USB drive? I have also reset the cmos battery and reseated the ram.

    Hello Guys, Even I had a similar problem. I was planning to take it to service center. But just wanted to try once more so searched in the community and got this thread.My situation is I changed my RAM 2 months ago from 3GB to 8GB on my 5830TG. It was working fine till last couple of weeks until I made one change in BIOS setting and then I tried rebooting then I don't get any screen. my Hardisk looks like it was running. I never got to BIOS screen at all. I got scared & din't know what to do. After reading this post I replaced my new ram with the old once which I had it with me. My laptop booted properly. Then I removed the old ones & added both the new RAM's then the laptop did not boot. Suspecting that one of the RAM must have gone non functional I tried one by one. Both worked fine. Finally I had to insert the RAM properly. Insert it little hard so that it sat fine in the slot. I also reset my BIOS just in case. Great post guys, it helped my try once. You don't know how much time and money I saved :-) Thanks a ton.

  • Problems with Windows 8.1 Updates - Black Screen after login

    Dear All,
    I have a HP Pavilion g6 (SKU is D0Y12EA#ABU) and it's been running Windows 8.1 64bit without any trouble ... until recently.
    On the last two occasions that I've done a Windows Update, something has caused the laptop to stop booting correctly. I get the logon screen but once I input the password, it gives me a black screen and a mouse cursor. I'm able to boot into Safe Mode and I've tried updating the Intel Graphics drivers but it doesn't help. The only recourse I end up having is to roll back to a Restore Point and prevent Windows Update from running.
    Does anyone know if there is a specific update that is causing this? If so, can I get the KB number so that I can stop it from installing?
    Regards,
    Gareth

    For Intel GraphicsOnly
    I have a DV7-7133nr to which I have modified to SSDs, 16 Gig of Ram and Windows 8.1. I too had the black screen of death for a long time and have read many forums, and nothing worked until my last attempt. I am an Intel Channel Member and Partner and a Microsoft Partner, and this has fixed the problem, but it only applies to boards running the Intel Graphics 4000 video.
    1. Go to Hp's website and make sure you have the latest bios update. I did, so at boot up, I held the f10 and reset the bios to default settings, hit f10 and saved.
    2. When booted into windows, I went to the Intel website, support, drivers, and searched for the Graphics 4000 driver. Their driver was later than Hp's so I downloaded it to my desktop. I then uninstalled the hp driver through the Device Manager and removed everything, and rebooted the computer. That gave me back the Microsoft basic video driver. I then installed the Intel driver I downloaded, and not only did it removethe Microsoft basic Driver, but it installed correctly and gave me a control panel for the driver.
    3. Since then, about 2 weeks ago, I have not had a black screen since.  The HP Driver is out of date for Windows 8.1, but this DV7 has been the best laptop I have ever owned.
     Good Luck Dale

  • Update=black screen on restart

    Did software update this AM (daylight savings, java, quicktime & security update) everything seemed fine. Clicked on restart as required - now I only get a black screen that says:
    Darwin/BSD (G4-GM.local) (console)
    Login:
    I've entered the administrator name & password and
    no home directory and something else
    briefly appear, a blue screen shows then back to black as above.
    I'm guessing that the home directory was renamed? but don't know how to get past this black screen! I don't have a 10.3 Install disk (bought computer used) but have a 10.4 Install set from my imac at home. Can I do anything? It's the boss's computer that's screwed!

    Betsy:
    Michael Conniff has worked on a number of these situations. Here is a list of recent posts from Michael. Hopefully you will be able to find help in them.
    When I had a similar issue a while ago I ended up having to do a complete reinstall. Here's a link to that thread.
    Let me know if anything works.
    Good luck.

  • 10.6.7 update: black screen since

    Updated my MacPro (2008, or 2007...?) to 10.6.7 this morning: black screen throughout.
    Tried all the usual keyboard tricks when rebooting; C, Option, Cmd-Option-P-R, Shift, etc., nothing works.
    Reboot using Installation DVD doesn't work either.
    All build in harddiscs are accessible and readable when I connect my MacBook Pro (FireWire or Network cable).
    Screensharing using my MacBook 'works' but also gives a black screen.
    Think the update has done something to the drivers of the graphic card and the support of the second monitor.
    I use two large monitors, disconnected one of them when the problem started.
    Think I have to adjust the resolution to a lower setting, but with only a black screen I cant adjust anything at all.
    HELP!

    Exactly the same thing happened here!  I updated to 10.6.7 yesterday, and today my MacBook Pro (pre-aluminum body) was plugged in to power and awake.
    I shut the lid and unplugged the power to take it downstairs.  Now the screen won't wake up!  The sleep light on front is also on solid, but dimmed.  I have rebooted many times but still have a black screen!
    I was able to VNC in from another Mac and found the display is at 1280x1024.
    What did they do?  I can't seem to get out of this!  I'd love to deinstall that update, but how?

  • Acer Iconia W3 BIOS update not working

    Hi, I have downloaded the new 1.07 BIOS from Acer Support, but when I run the file inside, nothing happens. When I restart the device after this, it starts doing something, but almost immediately tells me it needs to reboot, and nothing happens. My BIOS version is still 1.02, not 1.07. How do I actually use this? Thanks.

    Hi Folks, I had same problem with BIOS not updating, and battery stopped charging. My steps: 1. Updated Windows 8 entirely, there were 70+ updates2. Updated Acer Windows 8 drivers3. In BIOS, reset all security settings4. Disable FTPM5. Upgraded one at a time from 1.03 to 1.07 Now my battery works fine. I can't say which of these steps was crtical, but I tried alot of other stuff and these sequence worked for me. I may still take this unit back, but it is appealing that it has HDMI port and separate charging port versus the Dell Venue, albeit the Acer screen is OK versus IPS. Hope this helps,Barry

  • Firefox won't open after update, black screen, beep and "do you want to allow program to make changes..."

    Updated Firefox yesterday and now the program will not open on my desktop. Screen goes black for a second, issues a beep and then get box asking if I want to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer. Does not matter if I click yes or no, box disapears and nothing happens. Willing to remove and reload the program but hate to lose all my bookmarks.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

  • Crash during software update = black screen and no way to Restart

    Had to rebuild my hard drive and system from original Leopard install CD.
    Subsequently, initiated internet Software Update which transferred OK.
    After Software Update restarted to finish installation the process locked up at "54% complete". Restarting to break out of frozen state, (what else might I have done?!) machine begins to come up but screen goes black then text/code at top of screen scrolling down to a message that I need to Restart but such is repeatedly unsuccessful + no way to open CD drive to perhaps begin again from scratch.
    Machine is in a partially updated and therefor scrambled state. Suggestions anyone??

    You can open the drive by restarting while holding down your mouse button, wired mouse only.
