Black screen after first restart

Hello,
i want start saying that i don't speak english so i want apologize for my text error, anyway, as the title say after the creation of boot camp partition, i start to install Windows 7 Ultimate and it gone fine, but after this the installation requires system restart, i press "Alt" and choose to boot in Windows partition and then come the black screen with a flashing dash in the top left, i wait for 4 hours and nothing. After this i tried more times to install Windows and i try to reset PRAM and SMC too, but nothing.
Please Help me.

It should be doable. Particularly on the Intel models. They are Intel 945 chipset which does support native SATA. The AMD models are another story. The second hard drive bay is not real SATA, however, it is a usb to SATA adapter for storage only and is capped I believe at a 250 gig drive. The main bay should be able to take a SATA hard drive of any capacity found on the market.

HTML5 not working, black screen after first frame

I cannot get html5 to work on Firefox for Android. If I download the file it plays fine on VLC. I'm using an LG Volt.

Any gfycat link.

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.

My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update

My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update. It ran beta 5 great but failed on restart after beta 6 install. There is no cursor but I can hear the HDD spooling up. I have tried booting in safe mode, PRAM reset and SMC reset but nothing works. After the first 5 days of every now and then trying to start it, it started fine. I used the machine all day with no problems, it had rolled back the install and was back on beta 5. I decided to try the update again, the same thing happened and it has stayed black for over a week now. It wont work with a monitor either. Help!

Hello Adam,
I would try instead of installing the beta software, to install the official build of OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store to see if that gets you passed the no video issue when updating the beta software.

Satellite M70 - Black screen after recovery installation

So far what I have done is put in the Product Recovery DVD-ROM. Then when restarting my computer I was prompted to restore my computer to the factory defaults and said. After it went through that process it told me to remove the disc so I did. Now all it does is reach a black screen after the Toshiba screen that gives me the options to f2 for setup and f12 for options.
I do not know what to do now to make my laptop work again. Please help.

Satellite M70 is old notebook model and I would like to know do you use recovery disc for the first time. I had Satellite M70-159 long time ago and have installed recovery image many times.
Which installations mode you have used: standard mode or expert mode?
Try to install it again.
As Xardas wrote try to obtain Microsoft installation disc and check if everything works well.

Black screen after windows auto update

New laptop in use for 3 weeks. After Windows auto update restart I get to splash screen and am able to enter Windows password to log onto desktop. After successfully entering password I am not able to view my desktop; I get the black screen with cursor function; cursor disappears when moved within an inch of left or right of screen (seems to go behind something). I believe I am at the desktop but just not able to view it, because I receive app popups on the black screen (need to update McAfee, etc).
In safe mode I restored to pre auto update date; manually installed all Windows updates; worked fine until NEXT auto update, same problem.
Graphics Card: Stock Intel HD Graphics
Monitor: Generic PnP
Why would it be fine with the manual update and not after auto update?
I do not have an external monitor to attach this laptop for diagnosis. I have run windows partition checks and hard drive partition checks with no issues to resolve.
I did get an error message once when running a diagnosis (can't remember which) : Windows Update Error 0x80070490
No real luck finding anyway for me (the average Joe) to resolve this issue.
If this is a harddrive issue I don't want to keep pussyfooting around while my warranty window shrinks.
I have downloaded driver updates from HP, but cannot get the Synaptics Touchpad driver to download. I don't think this is my issue though.
I am going to manually update all my drivers then manually update Windows. We will see what happens on the next auto update.
Please advise if this is an issue I need to just give up on and return this laptop for replacement. It seems like this is not a completely unheard of issue, but I'm shocked at what we are asked to do to attempt to resolve it. Out of my depth.

Hi @Justanothermom
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having troubles with a black screen after an update. I am happy to help you with this.
Firstly, there is nothing wrong with modifiying your update settings. I was going to suggest it myself as I read through your post, and then saw you ask the question. Sometimes updates can have unintended results by the creator. With all the different combinations of hardware, and the fact that updates come from different sources, it is one of those things that is hard to completely control.
Please see the following for how to make adjustments to your update settings.
Turn automatic updating on or off - windows.microsoft.com
Or if you know which update seems to be causing the issue you can take a look at this page:
win 8.1 August 12 updates - black screen after 2nd reboot - answers.microsoft.com
Let me know if this helps at all.

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!

[Solved]Black screen after "waiting for udev uevents to be processed"

Hello friends,
Starting from late Dec., my laptop goes black screen after "waiting for udev uevents to be processed", after updating kernel to 2.26.32.*. The strange thing is that even the screen is black, the keyboard is working. For example, I can turn on/off the status lights of capslock and others. I guess something might be wrong with udev uevents configuration with regard to the latest kernel. I've noticed that in the new kernel, there are two drivers for intel integrated graphics. My laptop has a 855G, which is supposed to be functional by both drivers, at least according to the kernel description. Maybe because the udev is configured to use the second driver (for newer graphic chips), rather than the first driver, which caused the problem?
Regards,
Wen

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:

[Solved] Amilo XI 2550 - Black screen after fresh install

Dear archlinux users,
I have been reading the archlinux wiki and forums since I started using arch several years ago. It was always possible to solve the problems I ran into by consulting these webpages, therefore a big thanks to the community for the provided help.
Two weeks ago I installed arch on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo XI 2550. The first problem I ran into was that booting the live-cd resulted in a black screen and I could not even start with installing arch. This problem was solved with the kernel parameter 'nomodeset'.
The first boot of the freshly installed arch also resulted in a black screen after the GRUB menu which was perfectly displayed. After some searching (here and here and ...) I plugged in an external monitor and it showed the login screen. I then installed KDE because I thaught the problem might not show up with X and KDE running. After the login to KDE I realized that the brightness of the laptop display is nearly black but not totally. It seems as if the brightness is at a very low level, but brightness cannot be controlled with the Fn+F8 or Fn+F9 commands. But I see a OSD that indicates that the controls are used but without effect. So at the moment it is only possible to work on the laptop with another display connected to it.
Maybe of use:

and others I just cannot remember.
Masking backlight
systemctl mask systemd-backlight@backlight:acpi_video0.service
systemctl mask systemd-backlight@backlight:radeon_bl0.service
Setting bl_power
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/bl_power
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/radeon_bl0/bl_power
Nothing of the above was improving the situation.
Your help on the problem would be highly appreciated.

Hello Trilby,
thanks for the reply.
Trilby wrote:If nomodeset worked with the installation medium, why haven't you tried that for the same problem on your installed system?
The kernel parameter 'nomodeset' results in a working display but without X support, due to the fact that with 'nomodeset' there is no KMS support and therefore no X. But nevertheless I tried it and as expected X did not start.
Trilby wrote:Could you also post information about your graphics card and what drivers you've installed.
The graphics card is a Radeon HD 2700 and according to the above dmesg log it is recognized as RV 630. The radeon module is loaded via /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and xf86-video-ati (1:7.5.0-1) is installed.
I hope the provided information is what you asked for, thanks for your help.

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 Mavericks update ?

Hi everybody,
First of all, I want you to know that I'm French so I want to apologize for my potential mistakes
A few weeks ago, I updated Mavericks (because my mac told me to do that every single day .. ) on my Macbook Unibody bought in September 2010.
After that update, I had a black screen after the "Apple logo" and couldn't do anything. I went to a Genius Bar in Paris and the technician told me that the unique solution was to format the laptop. I decided to accept this because I needed my laptop for work. However, I lost all my data (documents, pictures ...)
Apparently, I'm not the only person in that case and the problem comes from Mavericks.
So I want to know if someone else is also in that case, and I think that it's unacceptable that Apple does not communicate about this.
Thank you

Connect the MBP to a monitor. If the monitor fails to produce an image, the GPU is suspect. If the monitor produces an image, the display or the display connection is faulty.
Ciao.

HP Pavilion DV3 41700-EE Problem-Black Screen after installing graphic card driver

Hi,
Laptop Model : HP Pavilion DV3 41700-EE Entertainment series.
I download the latest official driver for my lap top from this link : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-93326-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
After the installation i rebooted my device and after the windows loading i got a black screen ! i went to safe mode and unistall the video card and also it's driver from device manager and when i came back the black screen was gone but i have only my onboard Integ graphic which is very slow.
also i went to AMD web site and get AMD Catalyst from their web site but nothing happened after the installation and i think they don't provide an appropriate driver for my lap top.
i also tries to go to device manager and with right click on my display adapter and update driver point to the display driver location on my syste but this time it does not take time the black screen after restart, and in the middle of installation i got a black screen.
Also i upgraded my BIOS Firmware from 16 to 24, but nothing changed.
i just wanna know is it a software problem or hardware problem ? how can i find out that ?
also i don't want this switchy manner and i don't care about the power efficency. i just want to my device work on maximum performance.
What you suggest i do ?

Use the recovery manager to reinstall the original AMD graphics driver and Catalyst Control center.

Black screen after BIOS update

Hi there,
After updating BIOS with regular HP software (i forgot the name now), the computer shut down and from that moment when i turn it on the screen stays black (with computer apparently running). I read so many posts with similar problems and i tried few things but without success. I know that i am very close to solve the problem but from all the suggestions i am now simply confused. I would like to ask, if someone can guide me through step-by-step procedure, i figured out that i need to install a BIOS version on USB-stick, but exact details i am obviously missing.
I have HP Pavilion dv 6700 Entertainment PC and new HDD inside without HP_TOOLS on it.
Thank you veeeeeryyyy much!
