Black Screen after computer boots to Win XP With NX6600 VTD 256

My son recently purchased a new computer and gave his old one to me to salvage what I wanted.Since he just a few months ago purchased my NX6600 VTD 256 from me I naturally salvaged that first. I tried to install the NX6600 in my other son's computer without success. First the particulars:
MSI 845 Pro2 Mobo, 512 mb 133 Mhz Ram, 1.7 Ghz Intel CPU, Aopen AO350 12A PNF power supply, 350 watts with 18 amps on the 12 volt rail.
I did a fresh install of winXP on a freshly formatted HDD. Installed service pack 2, the latest intel drivers, and 5 different versions of the driver packages including ver 77.77 all with the same results.
After the computer boots I am intermittantly faced with a black screen after the WinXP logo disappears. This sometimes happens 3 times in a row before I get a working screen. After a good boot the NX6600 benchmarks good with very good marks!
I am at this point strongly suspecting the power supply is not up to the task, even though the specs for the NX6600 recommend a 350 watt power supply. Before I start removing all the hardware from the computer except for the NX 6600 to see if I have a hardware conflict, I doubt this because with the NX6600 installed without drivers I get a good boot every time.
I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks for the reply boss killer.
I tried what you suggested with a CRS power supply 300 watts with 15 amps on the 12 volt rail.
with the exact same results.
I then put the crs powersupply back into #1 son's old case reinstalled the nx6600 and gave it a go
Particulars for the old computer ECS K7VTA3 ver. 1 Mobo with 512 Mb DDR, nx6600VTD256 vid card and the CRS Power supply 300 watts with 15 amps on the 12 volt rail , and win XP pro service pack 2.
Funny the card works great without any problems with this setup! And the powersupply is 50 watts less and only 15 amps as compared to the other with 18!
I then pulled all the hardware out of #2's computer and tried it with only the memory, cpu, and NX6600 connected.
I had to boot 5 times before I had a working screen.
Now I'm thinking that there is somthing amiss with the NX6600 and the MSI 845 Pro2 ???
I'm thinking that I would be better off installing the K7VTA3 in #2 son's computer with the NX6600, since this works fine. When I did a benchmark with this setup it outperformed the *45 Pro 2 NX6600 combination By 300 points 2600 as compared to 2300 aqua mark points.
Isn't this fun?

Black screen after installing Boot camp Win7 on iMac 27 late 2009

I've run out of ideas as to how to fix this problem. I have a late 2009 iMac quad i5, Mountain Lion, 12GB RAM, 1TB HD (recently exchanged under extended warranty).
I stopped counting how many times I have tried to get this up and running but I followed a whole bunch of 'how to's' on the net, including the official Appple guide, but I always end up with a black screen. I insytalled it from scratch using both, Apple drivers on CD and SD card and I can confirn that they installed correctly during my last try. That time I first installed Win Vista, then upgraded to Win 7. I took out the install DVD after first restart and left the SD card in its slot (correctly named, as suggested by Apple). the installation finished, the screen went dark for about 5 min, then the computer rebooted, the screen went dark again for another few min and after that the vomputer restarted again but this time all stayed dark and nothing happened for the better part of an hour.
I also restarted from the Win install disk and tried to remove the ATI drivers using command lines, as suggested in one post.
I need to run Win in Bootcamp because some application I use are very demanding so I need Win to run natively. In an earlier attempt I managed to boot Win7 from the Bootcamp partition in Parallels and I installed the Apple Drivers in that environment but it still resulted in a black screen. I also tried to remove the ATI drivers from Drivers directory manually in MacOS mode but the System wouldn't let me edit the Syustem folder at all, not even in Root user mode.
I understand that I'm not the only one with problem and I feel for you, but please refrain from "me too" posts becuase it doesn't really solve my problem. Thank you.

I presume that you've followed the instructions for sideloading the iMac Windows drivers into your install via USB stick? (wasn't aware the EFI recognized the SD slot as storage on boot. Now i know)
I always found more success in just slipstreaming the drivers and install.xml file onto a custom Win7 DVD rather than the USB approach when trying with my Late 2009 27" iMac. The Win7 installer needs that enclosed .xml file in the driver package to tell it where to find the drivers so that they be loaded when the Win7 image extracts itself.
If you're using mountain lion, then you should be receiving the proper Win7 driver set. If you wanted to create a custom image, then you can use an ISO file, the driver package and disk utility to make something you can use. Either that or you learn what edits your install.xml file needs to point the installer properly and check it manually.
I don't know what links you have so i'll just include everything:
Installing boot camp on a Late 2009 iMac:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
Direct link to Late 2009 iMac-specific Windows drivers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL995
I'd try a USB stick and the iMac-specific driver set. It should steer your insolent windows installer correctly.
Hope this helps.

[SOLVED] Black screen after kernel boot after pacman -Syu

Hi, after full system upgrade with pacman -Syu, I get after the kernel boot black screen and everything is freezing. Then need to manually shut down the power button!
Normally when my system starts up after the kernel boot I get straight to the command line terminal login.
Can anybody help me how to fix this? Any clues? Any advice is welcome!
The problem is solved by downgrading to kernel 3.6.11.-1

Mid-2010 Mac Mini - black screen after installing boot camp drivers

I successfully installed Windows XP Service Pack 2 on my new Mac Mini. The display worked without issue in XP at this point.
After doing this, I proceeded to install the boot camp drivers. They installed and automatically rebooted the machine.
After reboot, Windows XP no longer has a functioning display. The display is a black screen and eventually the monitor shuts off.
Things I've tried:
- Reset PRAM
- Reset SMC
- Tried both Mini DisplayPort and HDMI connections to connect to the HDMI port on the monitor
- Booting into Safe Mode. Holding down F8 successfully brought up the Safe Mode options, but again the display was blank after choosing the Safe Mode option and attempting to load Windows.
Message was edited by: mullingitover

Update: Other stuff I've now tried--
- Swapping out RAM modules. I've tried it with the stock 2GB sticks in place, also with a single 4GB stick. Same result.
Other interesting/troubling problems:
- Unable to boot into Safe Mode with command line. The text-only interface with safe mode options that is reached by pressing F8 during windows startup is displayed. However, no matter which option I choose, the result is a dead display.
- Unable to boot with Windows XP install CD (?!). After choosing the CD at the boot selection screen, the display blanks and never wakes up.

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade.
What happen: My laptop was working fine, no blue screen issue, no funny business at all. I bought a new SSD Intel 120 GB and thought it would be a good idea to replace the HDD. I shutdown and disconnected the power adapter, waited a couple of minutes and removed the battery. I opened up the back case and replaced the HDD. And put all the screws back and put the battery back in.
Problem: The very first time I turned the power on, nothing happens besides a black screen. I pressed the dvd drive it works and opens up and closes. I waited for about 30 mins and still has blac screen. When I mean black screen, no bios menu, no logo, just a black screen with the fan sound on.
I have tried these:
1. Unplugged everything - battery, adapter, and pressed the power on button for about 60 seconds, nothing, the laptop turns on with the LED display on for both on and battery LED's. But nothing but black screen, no sound of windows loading just the fan and black screen.
2. I tried putting back my old 2.5" and nothing but black screen.
Thoughts and suggestions?
Solved!

Qosmio X870-149 - Black screen after Update to win 8.1

After an update to win 8.1 I got a black screen after login , the only thing I could do was to press zero during startup and make a recovery installation .
It took 40 houres , I do not know why it took so long , but when it was over, the HDD was completely empty , so I installed win 7 instead , since I had not made ??a recovery CD . The problem now is that I still get black screen in between , and thinking that it might be a heat problem , I still have warranty , but I do not know if it applies when I installed win 7 on the machine.
I still have a warranty on my toshiba Qosmio

Hi
Well, the warranty covers the hardware related problems. It does not cover any issues related to the software.
Now the open question is: why the black screen appears?
Is it hardware or software issue?
What happens if you access the BIOS?
Can you see anything on the screen?
Is something visible on the external monitor?

My Imac 24" goes black screen after start up. Booting from original CD or CMD R don't work, both go black screen

So, yesterday while playing a game of league of legends my Mac stopped running. After I resetted it, I got black screen after it the chime + loading bal.
So far I've tried:
CMD+R => black screen
Holding shift => black screen
Holding Alt => chosing the HR, the repair disk, or the original CD to reintsall => black screen
Holding S => got to the terminal, did the check up, it said it was ok, restarted => black screen
Took off the power cable, waiting at least 15 seconds, and everything back on => black screen
Holding Alt Cmd + p + R => black screen after restart
Removed 1 of the memories, then testen, same with the other one => black screen
I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point. Anything I've overlooked?

Any white text?
Startup - Black Screen/White Text
Startup – Red Screen
Startup Issues - Resolve
Startup Issues - Resolve (2)
Startup Issues - Resolve (3)
Restart the computer holding down the command - option/alt - P - R keys before the grey screen appears. Continue to hold until you hear the startup chime for the second time.
Reset NVRAM/PRAM
Try a SMC reset. The article covers when this is required, but doing this will not affect anything.

Black Screen After Boot up

My T420s (2 months old) recently has been giving me a black screen after boot up (no "Thinkpad" image is displayed during boot up). System totally unresponsive -- I have to push on/off button multiple times. Subsequent boot up usually OK. Sometimes once I'm up and running, upon entering sleep mode, the machine will not wake up.
I have adjusted power management setting and and up-to-date on all drives. HELP!!!

if this is constantly occurring this would mean something is wrong with the Thinkpad's hardware, since this laptop is fairly new, you should consider getting it fixed under warranty.

Hp pavilion s5715 - computer freezes / black screen after i use it somewhat intensively

Hi,
I recently bought the HP Pavilion s5715 but when I used it even somewhat intensively (playing Left 4 Dead for example) it'll freeze / black screen after a short while (10 minutes or so).
I assume this has to do with overheating, but what would be a good fix for this? And how can I figure out what component overheats?

[SOLVED] Black screen after GRUB

Hello everyone
I was setting up a machine with E17 and was trying various DM's since none seemed to work. After attempting to use LightDM, I get a black screen after GRUB. I was trying to read the various logs at /var/log/ but I cannot understand them properly. I tried reinstalling entrance and LightDM with no luck. I even tried editing grub's entry appending '1' or 's' and still no dice. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi tnx for both answers.
I missed something important in Xorg.log. As you can see, fbdev and modesetting aren't loading as usual. I didn't check grub stuff, I don't think it's related, since loading in level 3 (text mode) I get a black screen but I can login as root and turn off the computer blindlessly.

No, I can't get it to work changing DM's. I'm not sure if I pacman -Syu before changing DM's another time. Maybe it wasn't LightDM's fault afterall.

Black Screen after logging in locally to Windows 7 that previously had an open RDP session.

Here is what happens. I leave my home computer on (running Windows 7 Ultimate) and sometimes I will remote to it from another location (work, friends house, or wherever). When I return home, I will go to login, the screen then goes blank (no mouse cursor
or anything). I have to do a cold boot to get back into Windows. This only happens if I ever RDP into it sometimes during the day. It seems random. I've tried logging off the RDP session, just closing it without logging off, nothing seems to be the answer
in that regard. It seems very random at times. I'll go a week and I can come home and it will login fine with no problems. Then the next week it starts giving me the black screen after I come home and login locally. I've seen several black screen issues here,
but usually they are getting it before logon. Anyone have a clue what might be causing this?

Hi,
Did this issue occur before?
Try to logon with Safe Mode to see if the same issue occurs.
Furthermore, you can try to update BIOS for your machine?
You can refer these article to update BIOS if your machine cannot boot:

Black Screen After Upgrading to Windows 8

Hi
I'm experiencing a black screen after upgrading a Dell N5050 B890 to Windows 8.
Tried to refresh the installation but the problem persited. re-installed the Windows 8, the machine logged in successfully but the problem arose again after reboot.
Urgent assistance needed

This problem is solved...
I guess the problem is concerned with the display module controller in the BIOS which is having a slight compatibility issue with windows 8.
This issue is solved by updating the BIOS of your Laptop/PC to the latest version. You can download the latest BIOS from the website of the Laptop company/Motherboard Company.
But for updating the BIOS, you have to start your computer/Laptop for at least one time in Normal Mode. So here are the steps to do so...
1) Boot the Laptop/PC.
2) After the boot screen (The Circle Animation & Windows 8 logo), you will be presented by the lovely & awesome blank screen.
3) Wait for 1 minute so that drivers load into the memory.
4) Press the Power button of your laptop/PC for only a moment (Just Press and release it quickly. Don't hold. We don't want to shut down).
5) This will force the laptop/PC to go into Sleep mode.
6) When the laptop/PC goes in sleep, the laptop fan & other sounds will stop.
7) After 4-5 seconds, press the power button again & release it quickly.
8) Voilllaa!!! The laptop/PC starts & you are presented with the lock screen. Now..... Login! What are you waiting for! :P
This is not the permanent solution. It just lets you start you Laptop/PC.
After updating the BIOS, I strongly suggest that you must download the latest graphics driver for your Computer/Laptop to avoid any further issues.

GTX670 - Signal lost/black screen after windows loading icon

Hello,
I hope I am posting this in the correct forum area. If not I do apologize.
Here are my specs:
Board: MSI Z97-G45 Gaming
Bios: ?? whatever pre-installed on mobo
VGA: MSI GTX670 OC
PSU: Corsair HX750 750W
Intel Core i7-4790K
MEM: 12 GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 2x 4GB, 2x 2GB sticks
HDD: SSD Kingston 120 GB (Win7), HDD 1 TB WD 7200 RPM (Win7), HDD 1.5 TB WD 7200 RPM (storage)
COOLER: Corsair Hydro Series H60 Water Cooler
OC: no overclocking done by me..default settings
OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
So to keep this as direct and as short as humanly possible here is my situation.
Had a gtx670 card that I had to send back to MSI under RMA. They sent me what looks like a new gtx670 card (no dust) that I received yesterday (4 Aug). Last night I removed temporary old card (9800gt) and plugged in new 670gtx. Things seemed to be ok, reinstalled driver after card was recognized. Played one round of Battlefield 4 for testing purposes and all seemed good.
Upon exiting the game things went south in a hurry. Moving the mouse cursor around was extremely slow and choppy. Mouse clicks were not recognized. I could not bring up ctrl-alt-del to get to task manager. At this point the cursor turned to spinning circle as if things were happening. However, after 5+ minutes of nothing changing I did a hard boot.
Restarted and after the windows loading screen the signal appeared to be lost to the monitor and I was left with black screen. This was with the SSD. I then attempted to load into the HDD windows OS that I hadn't logged into yet with this card and was greeted with the same issue.
I can load into Safe Mode with no issues. In safe mode I removed all nvidia drivers and was then able to load into windows normally using basic windows vga drivers. The moment I load the Nvidia drivers and restart the computer I then have the issue again. This happens with both drives.
I have reset the video card in the PCI-Ex16 slot and still received the problem. I have tried a different PCI-Ex16 slot and still had the issue. I put the old 9800gt card back in and windows loaded perfectly and without issues on both drives. I put the 670gt in and try to load into normal windows and I lose signal and get black screen after the windows loading screen.
I'm at a loss at the moment. I think it's the drivers, but could it be the card?
Doing some research I've come across some people saying there may be issues with the nvidia HD audio drivers that are installed with the video drivers. Could it be as simple as uninstalling or unchecking that particular driver?

Flashed the BIOS last night to the latest version and attempted to launch windows with the GTX670 card. I still experienced the same issue where as soon as windows finishes it's loading animation (with Nvidia drivers) and it goes to the login screen, the monitors cut out.
At this point I feel like it has to be the card. The moment I install the video drivers and restart, I have the problem of losing the signal/black screen.
What I have done:
1) Completely wiped any/all video related drivers from the computer and started from scratch. No success.
2) Ran Memtestx86 to see if it's a problem with my memory sticks. No problems found.
3) Put the card in a different PCI-Ex16 slot to see if there was a problem with the slot. No success.
4) Flash updated the BIOS on the motherboard to the latest version. No success.
I have a dual boot computer with Windows 7 64-bit installed on an SSD and a HDD. The problem happens on both drives. Yet, the moment I install my old 9800GT the problem disappears and I can login to Windows just fine.
I will be sending the card back today on another RMA.

Black Screen After Windows 8 64-bit Upgrade (Clean Install) on TouchSmart IQ508A (IQ500 series)

Hi there,
Just installed Windows 8 and am getting a black screen after booting up like many others. I currently have disabled the graphics driver and this has solved the black screen issue but I can no longer use my web cam for Skype (although web cam works for W8 Camera App oddly).
To date I have tried the following:
Loading up the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website
Attempting to use the drivers for Windows 7 both in compatability mode and normally. I unzipped SP44488 to get this working
I know many others are having this problem so I really would like someone from HP to respond and state whether a Windows 8 display driver for the Nvidia GE Force 9300M GS is being developed.
I ran the compatability wizard prior to the clean install and it came up with no issues so I am very disappointed I am having these problems.
I've found out that HP have a customised version of the above card so that explains why the Nvidia drivers dont work so I believe HP is therefore obligated to provide a driver.
If anyone else is having similar issues please respond as this will hopefully lead to more action.
cheers
Steve

I'm in the same boat. On my IQ804, the Nvidia GE Force 9300M GS card crashes when I use NVidia's latest Windows 8 driver and Microsoft's LIVE UPDATE drivers. I have to resort to the Standard VGA driver in order for the pc not to crash into a black screen.
I read on another forum you can try installing a July 2012 version of the driver from NVidia and that should solve the problem. I tried it once. Using the July 2012 version, the screen would stay on longer, but eventually it crashes into a black screen...but definitely more usable than the latest from NVidia and Microsoft.
I too have heard that HP used a customized version of the graphics card and that's why neither HP nor NVidia's drivers work.
I also tried installing the Nvidia GE Force 9300M GS drivers for Windows 7 that I downloaded from the HP website. It didn't work either. It actually failed to install altogether, saying my system is incompatible.
As is, the pc works fine. But videos and games that require motion is noticably choppy.
Any help from HP??
