I have to press and hold power on for almost 15-20 mins for my PC to actually turn on and by reading the issues others have been having with this update i would like to know how to get rid of the update

Hello @emoakaely,
I understand that after doing the Windows 8.1 update you are not able to access your computer and you are inquiring as to how to unistall it. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8), which wil walk you through how to restore your computer back to a point in time before you ran the update. This will in essence reverse the update for you.
***This will not affect your personal files it will only restore your computer's operating system back to before the update.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great weekend!

MSI GE60 0NC black screen after updating to windows 8.1

Hey, guys! I updated my laptop last night to windows 8.1 and everything went smoothly until the final boot wherein, after signing in to my account, there's only a black screen and mouse cursor. I tried finding solutions online like using sfc but it only fixes it for several minutes. Only the task manager works. Please help me.

M5400 - Black screen after updating BIOS

As the title says, I've got this unwanted black screen after updating BIOS with update utility from here http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds037429
What I've tried :
- power / battery out, pressing power button several times for short / long and longer time
- BIOS battery out for about half an hour
- wincrisis with USB bootable stick and BIOS extracted from BIOS update utility from support.lenovo
- different combinations of keys such as : FN + B / F / R +/- win key
What should I do next except finding a hammer ?

Hey,
I am having the same problem, I was updating my bios.. followed all directions which is necessary to update them.
And then when it was almost ready it said "Bios update is not responding" so I waited... and waited because I did not want to abort it but then Vista aborted it for me.
Well at first it did not seem to be a problem but then I noticed that I could not click anything (was still in windows @ that time did not reboot yet) then I wanted to reboot but nothing worked.. Pressing off button for a time to shut down did not work.. So eventually power was out. And it shut down.
So I hooked it up again but nothing happened. Pressing the "on" button made it start.. The DVD-drive loaded for a second but... that is it just a black screen :S
Going to bring it back to the shop tomorrow.

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.

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?

Hp pro tablet 610 G1 black screen after updating bios

After upgrading to windows 10, I updated bios recommended by hp official page for hp pro tablet 610 G1, but my tablet now turn into black screen and I could not do anything. Please help!!!
Any combination keys for this tablet to enter into bios recovery?

Quote from: flobelix on 23-August-14, 22:52:29
Ok, first of all update bios to the latest version which is 1.5 already.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_me10_mb.zip
thanks, i'll try this and post back

On Mac Pro you have to pull all the other drives but the one you will install on - that means no external drives etc,

Black screen after login. Windows 8 is not opening

After login, I only have a black screen with a cursor.
Windows 8 does not open. Cannot get to "System Restore" or Control Panel.
HP hardware self- diagnostic tests were negative & didn't help.
Please offer possible solutions for recovery.

Then that does not pertain to your problem.
On Kaspersky Rescue Disk on another computer download and burn to USB stick or DVD to run a full scan on your computer.

Are you able to boot into Safe Mode to perform a System Restore?

Black screen after updating to ios 8 iphone 4s

iPhone 4S Cap 56,5 GB IOS 8.0.2 Model MD261HN/A Modem Firmware 5.4.00
Guys, since upgrade to IOS 8.0.0 I am getting black screens or crash in most apps (Facebook, Whatsapp, etc).
That has never happened before and I own this phone for about 3 years.
Any suggestion?
Thank you!
Fabio

Found a fix!
The problem is that after the update, for some reason, the screen brightness is set to lowest, so you can't see anything although the screen still works.
If you shine a bright light on the screen, like from the flash of another phone, you can see the information on the screen, not well, but visible, finish the update process, and when you're done, go to settings, and set your screen brightness up again.
It's as simple and stupid as that.

N8 black screen after updated to the new version 0...

Hello everyone, how are you doing?
My Nokia N8 stop working at all, as it just gives me a little bit vibration when I push power bottom and nothing occurred on the screen its black screen. That’s happen after I made update for the software using Nokia software update, but in the middle of the operation I got an error message “update can’t completed” …
So please advise me with your experience.
R,
Amr

Was it an OTA or Ovi Suite update? Try rebooting the phone by pressing and holding the power button for at least 8 seconds until the phone buzzez 3 times in quick succession. Then try restarting your phone again.
Another thing you could try if your initial update attempt was through OTA is to try connecting and updating your phone using Ovi Suite.
If that does not work then you may need to hard reset your phone but there are various issues with that at the moment, such as losing your data uinless you have a backup and other options such as the lost of some functionality which at the moment can only be restored by reinstalling Qt or by a Nokia Care Point.

Black screen after updating

Hello! I've upgraded to W10 using the Updater, and after every boot I see a black screen instead of the lockscreen. A few times it resolves itself after a few minutes, other times I need to put the laptop to sleep mode, then turn it back on. My laptop is a B50-30.

I think before it opens it'll restart several times after it finishes loading

Black screen after update

Earlier today, my 2010 MacBook Pro asked me to reboot after an update, and I selected ask me in an hour. 20 minutes later I had finished with the computer so just closed the screen. I have returned to it this evening to find that it will not boot properly. I'm not sure what the update was for.
On starting, it initially opens with the grey screen with the Apple logo in the centre as normal. After the normal amount of time, it is replaced with a black screen with the cursor in here top left corner. I'm able to move the cursor but absolutely nothing else happens and the screen remains black.
I don't know what to do to fix it! I can hear noises coming from the laptop, which I'm assuming are the hard drive.
Just to add, I had haven't modified it in any way. Apart from Office and Adobe, most of the programs on there are are supplied by Apple.
HAs has anyone got any suggestions please?

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may have a logic-board defect covered by this recall.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present. However, according to reports, some units may pass the test, and yet still be deemed eligible for repair under the program. Your experience may vary.
Note that the recall only applies within three years of purchase. After that, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
The model was discontinued on February 24, 2011, so the recall has nominally ended. Some units may have been sold after that date by Apple as refurbished, or by resellers as new, and they should still be covered.
Some owners report that their unit was repaired under the program after the deadline had passed. Others report that the repair was covered by the extended warranty from a credit-card issuer. Again, your experience may vary.
Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
If you're dissatisfied with Apple's response, please keep in mind that no one here represents the company or can help with customer-service issues.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
