Black Screen? Windows Installation

     I have installed windows 7 32-bit on my computer about 4-5 times so i know how to do it. Now i am installing 64-bit Windows 7 onto my school computer for Broadcasting/Video production. The new Imac 2.7GHz I5, I use bootcamp assistant to partition the disk for windows then it should restart to boot to windows which it does, but when it turns to the new partition the screen goes black? So i wait and wait. I press the power button nothing happens. Press it again it turns on. I Tried 32-bit but it dosent support it. I dont know what to do i have looked up forums but i havent found anything.
Please help!

Apologies for not listing all the details of the machine, it's not mine and I haven't got them handy.
Update on the issue: the image on screen disappears on BIOS as well, but the system works properly when the SSD is disconnected and the old HDD is being used.
Looks like enabling PCI Bus Mastering has fixed the issue, I have now installed Windows and so far so good, updates will follow.
Thanks
Tony

  • Apples update didn't work for me: Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7

    Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7 - Apple Support
    I have followed each of the steps listed in the link above with no success.
    Prior to adding the extra drivers I was able to start the Windows install process up to reformatting the "Windows" Bootcamp drive. After that the computer would go through some instal processes and eventually restart. After the restart the screen would go black. The black screen lead me to the  Apple Support link above dated March 5 2015. After going through steps listed in the link above, I get an error message stating that the D:\Sources\instal.win. file cannot be located. I am forced to restart the computer at that point and theWindows install process attempts to start again but always ends up at the same point.
    Note: I am installing windows 7 Pro from a DVD. I scanned the AutoUnattend.xml file and noticed that it refers to "Windows 7 ULTIMATE" but not "Pro" or any others that I could see. (see below). Could that be part of the issue?
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is an over-simplified explanation of WIM and CLG files. Assume your DVD Media contains

    W7- Home Premium
    W7- Home Basic

    The File .wim will contains a compressed image which contains File [1...5].
    The W7-Ultimate .clg will have 5 entries, with all set to 'Y'.
    The W7-Professional .clg will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','Y','Y'.
    The W7-Home Premium  .clg will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','N','Y'.
    The W7-Home Basic .clg file will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','N','N'.
    This allows a single .wim Image file on the DVD media to be used to install any of the 5 flavors of Windows. When you enter your product key, the Installer knows what specific W7 variant you have the key for and will tell the WIM to extract the specific files the installer needs to be extracted.
    The following line
    <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
    is telling that a retail product key will be entered, which should go look for this specific .clg file (from the five you already have on disk).  You can test if it will work for you by changing this line to the following
    <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
    If it does not work, the other issue can be related to device discovery. Typically A: and B: device names are reserved for Floppy Drives. C: is your internal HDD.
    D: can either point to the Optical drive, or the USB. The normal convention is that the removable media is named from Z: backwards. Y: and Z: are usually used for Network drives, so X: should be your USB. First try with the change to "Professional". If it does not work,

  • I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in safari

    Hi. I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in Safari. Also in old version of Safari, and in old System. In some windows, i can save the document, only now i can see this, open from pdf reader. Thank for some info.

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • New mac Mini 2011/lion Windows 7 black screen at installation

    Hi,
    I'm switching to Mac and finally got the new mini i5 2.5Ghz and I'm trying to install W7 professional.
    I'm using an external USB dvd r/w unit (a samsung)
    In bootcamp i was able to create the driver disk and repartition the existing hard drive in two halfs of 256GB each
    But when bootcamp assistant restarts the mini in order to boot from the windows installation disc, I just get a black screen and the W7 installer does not boot,
    At that point neither the 32 nor the 64 bit version of W7 boots. The screen simply remains black.
    I can boot from the os x partition (keeping the option key pressed unitl the boot disk selection cames out), and Lion works, but any attempt to boot from the dvdrom with w7 fails.
    Anyone else encountered this issue and can help ?
    Thanks!

    Go to http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/Catalyst118DriverPreview.aspx
    and install the ATI 11.8 preview drivers.
    Once installed, open the catalyst Control center (you should have a red icon in the notification tray)
    and in one of the settings there is an "overscan" setting.
    you should see a slider, position it to "0%" and you should have full screen.
    For some reason the overscan defautl setting is set at -15%, hence the black bars.
    I spent quite a lot of time on this, mainly because the bootcamp ATI drivers did not have any setting page I could find. I then installedd the official 11.7 drivers, but I could not get the Catalist Control Center to show up, not sure why.
    Finally after reading forums for hours I gave the 11.8 a try, as it seems thare are some improvements (but mostly performances) for the HD 6xxx graphics cards, then finally it worked and i could access the overscan settings.
    You may want to try first to see if you have the overscan setting before installing any new drivers.
    Hope this helps

  • Portege 7220 and windows 98. Black screen during installation

    Hi,
    I am facing the following problem when I am trying to install win98 on the above machine Portege 7220 (/PIII650/64/12/13t/M), on its docking station ...
    I boot from a diskete and I access the cd rom (e:\) in order to run windows 98SE setup. After I type e:\setup.exe I get a black screen and the computer freezes. However I can install windows NT or 2000 on the this machine, and moreover the windows 98SE cd runs ok on other computers, i.e. no black screen!!!!
    Any idea what is wrong?
    Thanks in advance,
    Bar

    Hi Bar
    Please don`t be mad on me but I must ask you something. Do you use Win98SE full version or just update CD for Win98?
    It can be that your CD is scratched! So please try another CD again or another OS like W2k!

  • Black screen during installation of xp

    Hello, everyone~~
    I am trying to install win xp sp2 with bootcamp. The disk partition under Mac OS was successful. But after a system reboot, the windows installer fails to load normally. A blue screen just appears and vanishes very fast following by a black screen, with a flashing crusor. Then nothing responses and I have to restart by turning off the power supply. I tried many times but still failed to load the windows installer. Does anyone has such experience? Any help or information will be much appreciated~~
    Thanks a lot.

    The monitor supports both VGA and DVI-D. I was using DVI-D.
    On a hunch, I slapped a DVI-D/VGA adapter on the back of the Mini and swapped in a VGA cable.
    Suddenly, I got the disk formatting screen I expected instead of the black screen.

  • TS1718 itunes 12.0.1.26 not playing downloaded movies black screen Windows 7

    I am using iTunes for windows and the recently bought 2 movies, the trailer worked fine , but after download the itunes is not playing the VDO files, its simple black screen. Can someone please help?

    Thanks

    Sorry, unfortunately I can't get it to work now!  (Maybe I hadn't gotten it to work before.)  If I click a podcast subscription icon, then the little gear "Tools" icon, there's text that says: "When new episodes are available they will be marked as unplayed."  So even if I mark a non-downloaded episode as played, the auto-delete when played option doesn't seem to work.  If I do mark the episode as "Played" then use my "Delete" key, the message pops up: "Podcast episodes can't be deleted from the feed."  So that seems to settle that.

  • Black screen during installation of XP on Mini

    I'm trying to install XP 32 SP2 onto the kids' Mini running 10.6.4.
    Disk partitioning goes fine, booting from the XP CD goes fine, the installer's first blue screen comes up just fine, I watch the usual seven tons of drivers load in the status bar at the bottom of the screen, and then... The screen goes black. I was expecting the usual questions about how to format the partition, but instead... nothing.
    Any ideas?

  • [SOLVED]xf86-video-intel-2.13.0-2 - Black screen/windows

    I've upgraded from xf86-video-intel-2.13.0-1 to release 2 and now every GL window is black, with no rendering.
    For example, glxgears give-me a black empty window with no rendering, also the games stoped working.
    I can confirm this issue on this igp:

    Any more confirmations?
    Downgrading to extra/xf86-video-intel solves the problem.

  • Black screen: Windows 8.1 on Macbook pro retina 2012

    I've been sucessfull at installing Windows 8.1 on a USB 3 hard drive.
    I can boot into Windows 8.1, but the moment I start installing the video drivers, the screen goes black (stays on, but doesn't output anything)
    I've tried numerous times, each time with a different driver source:
    bootcamp support software 5.0 (the one the bootcamp assistant copies to the install drive)
    bootcamp support software 5.1.5621 (downloaded from the apple website)
    laptopvideo2go.com
    Windows update
    nVidia website
    Always the same problem.
    Any ideas?

    Hi
    It seems that this software muddled your OS.
    Try this;
    Boot the notebook and press F8. Usually the Advanced Boot Menu should appear.
    Now you should choose option: Last Good configuration.
    You can also try to boot the notebook in safe mode. The option can be chosen also in Advanced Boot Menu
    Check this.
