Black screen flashes before opening gmail

Hi, recently I updated to Firefox 4.0. Since then, every time I visit gmail.com a black screen appears. After a split second it disappears again and the usual gmail log in screen shows up. Why is that and how can I get rid of that black screen flashing before gmail loads? Has it something to do with the ad-ons adblock, flashblock and noscript I installed? They never caused any trouble in Firefox 3.x

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

When Mac reboots to Install XP black Screen Flashing Dash (-) stuck.

when Mac reboots to Install XP black Screen Flashing Dash and I think its the press any key screen but on a Mac its Just Flashing Dash .
I press every button going and nothing happens.
and my only option is to turn off the mac to boot back in OSX.
MacBook trying to Install Windows XPSP3 disk.

I too am having the same problem. I do not know about the host of this thread, but I have been using a brick and mortar version of XP SP2 stand alone so it is not bundled with a computer like Dell, HP, etc.
I have run it before just fine but it was time to reformat the drive, 0'd everything out, reinstalled 10.5.2, upgraded everything, repaired permissions and them ran Boot Camp. Put in the XP disc and all I get is the flashing dash mark in the upper left hand corner. I actually have 2 legal versions of XP SP2 stand alone and the same result on both discs so it has to be something with the partioning? I also redid the partitioning at various sizes all with the same effect. No luck.
Any new thoughts anyone?

IPhone 4s on screened Window Sill on rainy night - BLACK SCREEN, FLASH ON, VIBRATING, how do I revive?

Lastnight I left my Iphone 4s CHARGING on a screened window sill.
I wokeup at 8:30 and checked my phone to see that it was completely fine; went back to sleep until 10:30 and woke up to a black screen, flash on, and the phone frequently and randomly vibrating.The phone was not overly drenched. Only a couple raindrops on it, and around it.
I immediately stuck it in a bag of rice.
I need solutions! Any help is appreciated!
How long should I keep it in the bag of rice?
Is there a way to turn off my phone with a black screen?
Thank you for your help!

Just wind it by dryer and then don't try to switch it off because any electrical interchange cause damage. and then put it in a rise bucket. and in few hours it shuld be fine.. or take it to apple store if you are still in Warranty...

Help!

Qwerter, welcome to the forum.
I suggest that you download and install any patches for Shogun 2. This is the first thing that I do when I install a new game. The developers are under a lot of pressure to get the games released. So, there are going to be problems that need to be patched.

WORK AROUND: Black screen/flashing cursor trying to boot windows cd

This refers to the black screen with flashing underline cursor in the top left corner problem that happens after using bootcamp to setup your partition & then rebooting with the windows install CD in the driver. Install never starts, you just get this black screen with flashing cursor. seems to affect many different types of macs attempting to boot both XP & Vista.
I tried rebooting about 10 times. No luck. Same problem. Tried running disk verify/repair after removing partition, no luck. Remade boot camp partition, no luck.
Finally I pointed Parallels (free trial available) to my blank bootcamp partition and set parallels to boot from CD before HD. Parallels booted the Vista install CD just fine, and put Vista on my HD. Crashed at the end though and said it couldn't make the boot camp partition bootable so all changes were removed. Rebooted under boot camp and the installer came up fine off the CD. I'm now running vista (SP1 even) under bootcamp just fine. Parallels just lets you get past that boot-up bug.
So if you have this problem, and nobody else can help, and if you can find it, maybe you can download..... Parallels.
Feel free to post this on the other threads. Unlike other workarounds I'm guessing this will work for everyone and it only takes a free trial download of parallels to give it a try. Just remember to setup the virtual machine to use the bootcamp partition as the target drive, and then go under the edit virtual machine, then OPTIONS, then BOOT tab and set it to boot from cd before HD. Switch it back when you are done.
Then run boot camp assistant again and select the install OS option. Should run the installer correctly (thus overwriting anything parallels put on the partition).
I think VMWare Fusion also supports vitualization with the bootcamp partition as the target so that may help you get around this problem.

I have resolved this issue for four of our iMac computers with either of the following solutions. I realize that these solutions might seem awkward, but these solutions have been the only solutions that have successfully resolved this same issue for four different machines.
Solution 1
On the Mac OS partition, leave the Boot Camp partition that has yet to be configured.
Leave the Windows install disk in the optical drive.
Shut down the computer.
Unplug all cables.
Hold the power button for a minimum of 5 seconds.
Plug in all cables.
Turn the power on.
The computer will proceed to install Windows.
Solution 2 (If Solution 1 fails)
On the Mac OS partition, leave the Boot Camp partition that has yet to be configured.
Remove the Windows install disk from the optical drive.
Shut down the computer.
Unplug all cables.
Hold the power button for a minimum of 5 seconds.
Plug in all cables.
Turn the power on.
A black screen will appear prompting for a bootable disk.
Load the Windows install disk.
Shut down the computer by holding the power button.
Turn on the computer.
The computer will proceed to install Windows.

Screen Flashes when opening lid after locked - T410s w/discrete -- Video of problem inside

My computer is set to password lock (in Windows 7) when I close the lid, but remain powered on. When I open the lid of the computer, the screen flashes around 10 times before it gives me the login screen.
My bios is updated, my graphics are turned to 'high performance' ... always on - when plugged in with A/C adapter.
Anyone know what the problem might be?

@paradiddle,
If it is possible, could you try removing the password so when the system wakes up from sleep, see if the screen flashes.
Also when your display is "out" to the TV via HDMI, try pressing Fn + F7 and see if you are able to switch it back to laptop view without rebooting. You could also change this via Display Properties.

Satellite Pro L300 - Black screen flashing cursor

Hi all,
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 laptop running Vista.
The client brought it in because when it boots it goes to Toshiba splash screen then goes to black screen with flashing cursor in left top corner. I have connected external monitor with same result. Swapped out RAM as well.
Have run Memtest (passed), Seagate HDD long test (passed), Ultimate boot CD, and Winternals with no success.
*F8 does not work* and nor does Factory recovery.
Can get into BIOS F2 and F12 no problem and the HDD is listed there.
I reinstalled Vista from CD and when rebooted it goes back to flashing cursor. I have attempted Startup repair from Vista CD and System restore. FixBoot from Command Prompt and FixMbr as well with the same result.
I have a feeling it may be a corrupted CMOS? It is like the OS installs properly, but the computer loses it's memory on reboot of where the OS is located?
Is the CMOS battery easily accessible and removable on this model?
Has anyone encountered these symptoms? Is it fixable cheaply?

Hello
If you have clients I presume you are some technician and hope you have some hardware parts in your store.
Have you tried to set BIOS to default settings and check it again?
If possible try to exchange HDD and test the functionality again.
Can you use notebook with Linux live CD (HDD not needed)?
To be honest I dont think problem is BIOS and, in my opinion, CMOS battery exchange is not necessary.
Test it please with new HDD and post some feedback.

I too am having Minecraft problems. I've managed to fix the black screen issue by launching minecraft with the script posted in this thread.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/java/jre/lib/amd64"
java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
Some people have reported that simply installing the updated LWJGL libraries has fixed the black screen problem but it didn't work for me. If you're unsure how to do this, you basically drag and drop them into the proper subdirectories of ~/.minecraft

Blank black screen when I open Firefox

Hi everyone,
Thanks in advance for your help. I have noticed over the last week that whenever I open Firefox, I have a blank black screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but the problem still exists. After some research, I started Firefox in safe mode in which it opened but after closing the window and re-opening the Firefox window, the blank black screen still appeared.
Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to rectify this problem?
Thank you

Did this happen when you updated to Firefox 33? Many Windows 7 users with integrated Intel graphics have not updated their graphics drivers for a long time, and Firefox 33 is incompatible with the older drivers.
The temporary workaround is to disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration, but the long term solution is to update the Intel software. Please see this thread for step-by-step and links: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1025438
Success?

Random Black Screen Flash Macbook Air and Apple LED display

So I have started to see an issue with the new Macbook Air and my Apple LED 24" display. Randomly only maybe 2-3 times a day the screen will go black and then quickly come right back, like a blink. Anyone else see this behavior? This does not happen with the internal built-in screen on the MBA. Feels like a driver or software issue to me.

Hi Steve,
I have the same model you've mentioned. Although my issue is not the same, at times when I open my laptop up, I have a black screen, and have to manually power-down. I can tell the keys still work, as I use the brightness buttons and can tell the contrast is getting higher.
Also last night my keyboard/trackpad stopped working, however the power button did bring up the shutdown options but the trackpad still did not work.

Screen flash before rotation

hi all, i installed a new video driver today (updated to newest), and all of a sudden my screen is flashing before it rotates when i flip it to tent mode or tablet mode. to be specific, when i flip the screen over, the screen flashes off and back on, before rotating. this has never happened before. i'm wondering if anybody else has run into this problem and has a fix?
thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

i've tried both of those options, with no avail. i ended up just clean installing windows 8.1 using my recovery usb. it was likely an incompatibility with the tech preview build, just weird that it happened so suddenly when i've had no problem with it for the month that i had the w10 build.
thanks for all the help guys
