BLACK/BLANK Screen K9A Platinum

i built my computer a few months ago, never had any problems with it until recently. I ordered a Noctua NH-U12F heat sink to instll onto my cpu, after i installed the heat sink my computer won't work. whenever i turn on my computer i just get a blank screen, nothing works now. i don't know what to do. i have not been able to get into windows or bios, a black/blank screen appears. here are my specs.
K9A platinum
amd x2 2.4ghz
diamond max 1950XTX
4gb pc6400 corsair xms2
antec 500w psu
antec p180 case
if anyone has any suggestions or solutions please respond.
thanks

Yes and be careful when you do that. You probably pulled it out of the socket when you removed the old heatsink. So, some pins may be bent or even broken off. When you remove heatsink, move it a bit over the cpu - don't lift it, just turn it gently, move it gently up and down utnil you feel that the thermal gel does not hold the cpu anymore.
Also, be sure to clean the cpu top (old greace should be removed) and be sure to apply new thermal greace (not too much - the drop should have the size of a pin's head).

Doesnt boot Black/Blank screen when a cd-rom is connected - MSI x58 Platinum

This is a build working perfectly for over a year.. well one day my mom turned off the computer when I got home it wouldn't boot I disconnected/reseated everything and was able to figure out if I didn't have my dvd drive hooked up it will boot perfectly fine. I should note that the drive shows up fine in the bios and that with a pata hard drive it will load windows fine.
I've tried 2 pata drives and 1 sata drive all working/tested in other machines .. and it stops at the same exact spot every time right after the bios and before the Windows logo would normally pop up it will just sit on a black/blank screen forever. I have never heard of a issue like this where it wasnt the ide channel going bad or the drive itself but since a harddrive on the ide channel works i assume its good.
I didnt know if i should post this in the windows 7 64bit forum or this but im leaning towards motherboard as the issue because it still freezes at same exact spot even with no hard drives connected , so I couldnt boot anything from the dvd-drive. I'm also thinking its the mobo because i had it repaired a year ago, see my old thread here
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=127312.msg958264#msg958264
Any idea's or suggestion please let me know.

A PSU acting up can cause some strange things to happen. Have you confirmed that the DVD drive is working correctly?

Hi, i am having a problem in my ipad 2 , it is not showing main screen just showing a black blank screen in which downloading icon is only shwn which is continously and when i connect to itunes via windows 7 it showing this error (0xE8000065) can any one

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

13" MBP died. Only a black blank screen and blinking lights are visible. Any ideas??

My friends MBP died the other night. He put it on sleep mode one night and the following morning, and when he went to turn it on the following morning it would't. Only a black blank screen and blinking lights. There is no sound or anything. BTW it is a mid-2010 MBP, no added hardware, everything stock. It wasn't custom configured, and I believe he upgraded to Lion earlier this year. I read somewhere that depending how quickly the lights are blinking could indicate a specific problem. Is this true? He is planning on taking it an Apple store, but figured we would try here first since it is a bit of a drive, and the warranty has expired. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are just trying to get an idea of what we are dealing with. Thank you!

Looks like hardware problem.
Apple can fix it. Take it to Apple as soon as possible.

Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the device

Black/blank Screen when connected remotely

Zenworks 10.3.3
I've only come across one other post on this forum concerning this issue. Sometimes when we're remotely connecting to an XP workstation all that appears is a black/blank screen. The management and remote machines are MS Win XP Pro SP3, pretty well up to date with security patches and all. On the remote computer, the screen saver at logon is disabled, desktop screen saver is disabled, the NIC is allowed to bring the device out of standby, standby is enabled and hibernation is disabled. If you send it the reboot command, more often then not, you can catch it back at the login screen and go about your business.
Might Zen 11sp1 fix this?

Is anyone at the Device to see what state it is in when this happens?

Yosemite update crashes all systems. Black blank screen.

Updating to Yosemite is a nightmare. Now, all I get is a black, blank screen. Apple updates are destructive.

Hi @Ersatz ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion
Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. .
Here is a document on overheating that might help both issues of black screen and overheating.
Here is a document on computer will not start.
Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices before starting troubleshooting.
With the inverter it is the easiest part to replace and the least expensive.
I would need the serial number to give you matching part numbers for your system.
Please review the HP Privacy Statement . Then send it to me in a private message.

Big Black Blank Screen Sharing on Snow Leopard

I have upgraded all three systems in the house to Snow Leopard (MBP, MP, iMac). I have always been able to use screen sharing between them. I've checked the System Preferences for Screen Sharing.
I can connect (clicking "Share Screen" from Finder), but I get a black/blank screen. Moving the mouse in the screen does not move it on the other system. Doesn't look like any possibility of sharing screens...
Any idea what to do to fix this? When I next travel this is going to be a really big deal! Thoughts?

Here's what I see in Console:

Black blank screen appears when unlocking iOS screen

Hi!
I am developing and Adobe Air application for iOS. I have the following issue. If I have my app open and lock my iPad and then unlock my device, I see a black blank screen instead of my application contents. In order to make the app work again, I need to press the home button, and press the app icon again. Then the application appears fine from the point I had left it before locking the device.
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue? I use Adobe Air for iOS 3.8
Thanks a lot.

I was able to fix it:
I tried this ANE http://forum.starling-framework.org/topic/ane-fix-for-blackblank-screen-bug-when-returning -to-air-android-apps
After some testing I noticed, that the mentioned manifest-flag "<containsVideo>true</containsVideo>" does the job for me on his own...

Black/Blank Screen with Boot Camp Win 7 Install on new 27" iMac

I'm having a problem getting Windows 7 on a new 27" iMac and am familiar with the Boot Camp Windows installation process. Here's what I've done...
1. Run Boot Camp from OSX, partition the drive.
2. Insert Win 7 cd, proceed with installation.
3. Computer restarts and the 'preparing for initial setup' message displays with the Win 7 splash screen. When it switches to where it should be displaying the Win 7 desktop, the screen is black.
I can hear the Mac still running, but there's no display. It's like it's waiting for some type of user input for the intial Windows setup (haven't yet entered the key).
I've done a hard shutdown and restarted Windows with the exact same result. After reboot, I get the 'Windows was not shut down properly' message with the 3 safe mode options, where choosing either gets me the 'Windows cannot complete setup in safe mode'. And any key reboots it.
The Mac side still runs fine and holding the option key at start up gives the Mac/Win boot options.
I'm inclined to think that it's a video driver issue since the 27" is brand new. Maybe Apple used a new video card for the larger screen and haven't updated the Boot Camp drivers. I checked on ATI's site for an updated driver for the Radeon HD 4670 they say is in the new 27" model that's currently available. (not the quad core)
Is there any workaround for this? I was thinking of installing Vista instead, and upgrading to Win7 once installed, but if it's a driver thing, it would just be a long way to the same result and could have the same problem with Vista as well.
Any ideas?

I think I figured out what is happening here with the video drivers on the new iMac's and Win7. I believe it's re-directing the video to the mini display-port output when you see the screen go blank. I installed my Win7 x64 with no issues but I had an external monitor hooked up at the time and while it was installing the O/S my iMac went black but everything moved over to my external screen. Once it finished installing then everything went back to normal after a reboot.
Not sure if that helps anyone but pretty sure that's what is going on. So if you have another monitor handy, get the mini display-port adaptor from Apple and connect your external screen before you install Win7. Cheers!
P.S. If you have one of the new iMac's and want to install the latest Radeon drivers (after you have installed Win7 on your iMac), try the following. Download and install the drivers from ATI/AMD directly. They'll try to install and fail (no worries) but now the driver/install files will be unzipped into an ATI folder on your main Windows hard drive.
Now go to this site: http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php and download the tool and use the Vista instructions listed on the main page of the URL above. You shouldn't need to download the MSXML 6.0 and I don't think you need to disable the UAC stuff like they suggest for Vista (I didn't) and it works fine. UAC is not nearly as intrusive on Win7 as it is in Vista so I think that's why it worked for me and pretty sure the MSXML 6.0 is already in Win7. Once the program has modified the mobile Radeon drivers then you can run "setup" from your ATI directory and the new drivers will finally install correctly including the Catalyst Control Center. Voila! I now have 9.10 drivers up and running on my new 27" iMac and working perfectly so far.

I cannot enlarge photos on Facebook, I only get a BLACK, BLANK screen when I click on them-someone suggested it might be "Screen Resolution Setting"? I've already uploaded new firefox version. Please help!

I am not able to ENLARGE photos on Facebook, this means photos that friends post on News Feed & photos that I post in my FB photo albums. I only get a BLANK, BLACK screen when I click on individual photos. A friend suggested that I upload the New Firefox, and I did this today, but it did not resolve problem. Friend also suggested that it could be "Screen Resolution Setting"?? OR "Data Rate" too slow?? I do not know how to check these features? Please help! If it could be something else, please let me know. Thank you for your time & help!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Mac Mini Has Black Blank Screen on Wake Up

Hi Forum
I have started to Sleep/Wake my Mac Mini between midnight and 6 am when not in use and i see that on wake in the morning it appears to have a Blank or Black screen.!?!? anyone have this?
It seems to be working. i think this as i log on to it using my MBP, as the Mini is headless. When i connect ot the Mini on my MBP, i wouldnt be able to activate Screen Share if the Mini didnt react to being connected. Its in my sidebar to connect to, and does connect, and i can access its files. I dont have a screen connected directly to it.
Any ideas? Its fully up to date. i can turn it off and on and i get full view and functionality, although i didnt want to be doing that each and every day

Hey all,
I have the same issues right now, I have a late 2012 MacMini attached via HDMI to a 65 inch LED LG Smart TV. Power saving settings > both on never. Schedule settings > Shutdown at 2am every day, Wake or start up at 8am every day. Security / Privacy settings > Login without password. Screen saver settings > change picture every minute. This is all in an attempt to keep the MacMini going so I can use it as my HTPC.
I am controling the MM using a MBA 2013 via screen share, this works fine when the TV is powered on, but after turning it off the screen sharing becomes sluggish and unresponsive, also causing it to freeze, go black and make the cursor work like a paintbrush/eraser when navigating the screen, basically everything stated here in the forums. Is Apple ever going to fix this bug? the whole reason I wanted to use Mac Osx is because I want to get rid of Windows all together and create a pure Mac environment in my home.
I have been scouring the forums and google to find a solution for this problem which is becoming quite a disillusion for me right now and it is defeating the purpose of having the MM for my HTPC use.
Look forward to any all replies, cheers, Plucka
