Black screen with mouse

Hey everyone ,
I have a Lenovo z50 70 laptop which is just 4 months old. Recently I exper muffled sounds from speakers and updated the driver. After installation and restarting and logging in I am left with black screen and cursor . As some of the forums said I tried running explorer in task manager . Please give me another solution for this.
Thank u

Hi Htj10,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
When you are in the Black screen with mouse situation, Try Pressing Windows key + R to open a run box
  If that open type in msconfig  and let me know if that pulled up the  system configuration window.
You can follow this guide to run the system in a Clean Boot.

Let me know if this works for you

  • C655D 5210 tosiba black screen with mouse pointer

    I have only had this computer for 8 months. One day I turned it on, and windows kept restarting. After a few trouble shooting steps off the internet, I decided to reinstall windows 7 and lose my data and start all over. The first time it could not repair the computer and asked me to send the information to microsoft. Cannot boot in safe mode, I can get to the setup utility screen. This is a new Windows 7 cd. After several tries, it installed and said it had to restart, (this may happen several times) it only restarted once, then a black screen with a cursor. When I try to boot from the cd, the windows logo apppears, then a black screen with mouse pointer again. Toshiba is no help at all. This is my third Toshiba laptop. The first one did the same thing. But it was out of warranty, the amount they wanted to charge us, i just got another one. My mom's Toshiba just died with no real reason, the old one is in the garbage, and this one is only 8 months old. Toshiba would like us to send the computer in, pay for shipping, wait for 3 weeks, pay to ship it back to us, with a promise that it may not work.
    Please help

  • Server 2008 crash - black screen with mouse cursor

    dell poweredge 2950 with Perc 5/I RAID, ESXi 4.1 host, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 VM
    After swapping out a failed raid5 drive this vm began displaying inpage operation error popups while checking folder permissions.  event viewer errors: 
    The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume \Device\HarddiskVolume2.
     The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:.
    chkdsk /r run from the win2k8r2sp1 install dvd command line resulted in more corrections than i was able to screenshot:
    After this the server would only boot to black screen with mouse cursor.  same black screen result in safe mode or directory services restore mode.  sfc /scannow, startrep, and registry repair from the folder contents @ c:\windows\system32\config\regback
    have been attempted with no improvement.  I am still able to access the filesystem contents using the command line from the win2k8r2sp1 installation DVD -  user + registry files copied over to another drive without problem and i was able to load
    the registry hive on another system.  This server was doing dns, domain controller and certification authority but the only important item is getting the CA back somehow.  Any suggestions are welcome.

    Hi,
    According the information you have provided, the file system is broken.
    After the repair, do chkdsk /r and sfc /scannow give any warning or error?
    If yes, it means that the file system and system file are not repaired. Please post the error or warning here. It may give some hints.
    Best Regards.

  • Gnome Black Screen with Mouse Cursor after Login

    I am using Archlinux 64bit with a Gnome Desktop Environment. Everything was running normally uptill today. When i ran "sudo fc-cache", my system froze. I couldnt open any other app but i was able to access terminal. I restarted using "reboot" command. After that I was unable to log in to my desktop.
    The Gnome login screen comes and after entering the correct username and password, all I can see is a black screen with mouse cursor. I then started gnome manually with "startx" and it worked. But still I am unable to use normally (that is the graphical login). I reinstalled gdm but it didnt work. Please help me out.

    there are a lot of processess running... dunno killing which process will not cause a problem

  • Windows Server 2008 black screen with mouse *PLEASE HELP*

    Hello fellow techs,
    I have been tearing my hair out for the past 12hrs on this issue.
    About 3 weeks ago, one of our clients reported that they were experiencing
    issues on the network so one of the staff went into the server room and noticed
    the screen was black with only the cursor. As they couldn't reboot, they
    decided to hold the power button to power it off. When they powered it back
    up, it went passed the windows loading
    splash screen, and again the screen is black with
    the mouse pointer in the center of the screen.
    I am diagnosing the server and find that at the black screen, I’m able to move
    the cursor and beyond that nothing happened. I started in safe mode with the
    exact same results.
    I have been trying many different solutions from posts that I have found in
    Google but no change.
    From other machines you can type \\servername in
    the run box and see the shared folders, as well as ping it.
    This is a very urgent request as I need to have the Server back up and running
    by tomorrow.
    I am quiet willing to pay for phone support with anyone that can assist as soon
    as possible. I am happy to transfer founds via Paypal.<o:p></o:p>
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi,
    I agree with sm, you should give us more details. Also you should use sfc  /scannow
    command to scans the integrity of all protected system files and repairs files with problems when possible. For more details, please refer to the following article.
    Sfc
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff950779.aspx
    Before going further, would you please let me know whether there were any changes on the affected server? Has windows update or any new device been added? Please also check your shadow copies.
    The Windows Server black screen may be caused by them.
    In addition, there are similar questions, please refer to.

  • Laptop black screen with mouse when booting from shutdown [solved]

    Ok I am kind of at a loss at the moment. I have done a fresh install of arch for a friend. When I boot the laptop from a shutdown status it boots and I see systemd proccessing, but as soon as it reaches the desktop it is just a black screen with the mouse cursor. To reach the desktop I have to press ctl alt f1 than ctl alt f2.  Here are some things I have done to tryand fix it.

    ok, so I think I have foud a solution that works for me.
    I created this file and added the following lines
    /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
        Section "Device"
            Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
            Driver      "intel"
            Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
          EndSection
    I have shutdown 3 times and it has booted to the desktop everytime. When I remove this file and go back to sna it reproduces the error of the black screen.

  • Xorg-server 1.6 - black screen with mouse cursor

    Hi
    First of all: I'm really new to Arch, so maybe there is a real easy fix for this problem
    Since upgrading to xorg-server 1.6 (and today to 1.6.1) I'm not able to get a running Desktop Environment.
    Usually I am using gnome with compiz-fusion on my Geforce 4 (nvidia-96xx 96.43.11-4 driver).
    When I boot my machine i see gdm and I am able to login. I can hear my login sound but I only get a black screen with a mouse cursor.
    I added a new test user to my system without compiz and get the same.
    I tried my old xorg.conf from 1.5, generated a new one with X -configure and tried without xorg.conf but everytime the same
    Actually I'm not sure if the xorg update is responsible for this, because i did not watch the upgrade-process....
    I googled this problem and was searching similar things in this froum, but I wasn't able to find something
    Here are some files
    xorg.conf (i know there are some bullshit things in it, but it was workig )

    I'm having a very similar issue. Sometimes, when I boot and type in startx (I'm not even a GNOME user--I use dwm and no graphical login manager), I just get a black screen. No mouse cursor, so I think X doesn't even load. It only started with the xserver 1.6 update and the update to that hasn't changed anything. What I've been doing is just rebooting until it loads normally (takes one to three times). Is anyone else having this problem?

  • Vista Home Premium: Following install, black screen with mouse cursor

    I have tried installing with Boot Camp (v2.0) twice now with the same result.
    After the install is complete, the mac reboots into windows. I should see the Vista welcome screen but instead I get the black screen with a mouse cursor. The mouse is functional but clearly not much use!
    A subsequent reboot brings up the options for restarting following an unclean shutdown of windows. Running in safe mode, the restart hangs. The last dll loaded was crcdisk.
    I am running an OEM version - once activated (assuming I ever get that far) - the installation will be locked to the mac... which is fine.
    Googling the problem reveals some early Vista beta issues with graphics that caused a similar problem. Does Vista have an issue with the 8800GT that is fitted in my Mac?
    Any help/ideas/suggestions/fixes much appreciated. Rather stumped.
    I would load up XP Pro but I dont have an installer with SP2 :/

    Well my problem turns out to be a bad disk. I added two seagate 7200.11 750GB drives. Once which was making ominous ticking sounds. Vista took an age to install and really, I should have caught on earlier.
    When I got a bunch of disk i/o errors creating a Fusion VM of XP Pro I decided to remove the disk and to try the other unit.
    Vista installed very rapidly indeed and worked. Yes worked.
    Hurrah! Problem solved.
    Time to see about replacing that disk...

  • New screen standby bug (black screen with mouse cursor)

    It seems there is a new issue with adobe messing up the monitor standby process.
    This time the monitor turns of at the setup time, but after a few minutes turns on again showing a black screen with the mouse cursor in the middle.
    Happens with me if i have any kind of webbrowser running in the background, as soon as i quit the browser my screen stays off again. But with open browser windows it often turns on again and shows the black screen with the mouse cursor.
    Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    I haven't been able to reproduce this.  What makes you suspect Flash Player?  Do you see this behavior if you uninstall the player?  What output do you get if you type the following commands in a command prompt window?
    powercfg -lastwake
    powercfg -devicequery wake_armed

    Hello I dont know if i am on the right board for this but this is the first time i am posting on here. I have a Lenovo think pad S230u. Recently it will load up to the screen where you put in your password and let you put it in your password but then just loads to a all black screen with just a mouse pointer on it thats it. I read on line that some other thinkpads had this issue with a display driver but i couldnt find anything on the one i have. The one i have is running windows 8. Any help is greatly appericated.

  • Windows 7 black screen with mouse in normal mode only

    Windows 7 Ultimate goes to login screen on startup.  After login to any account (which takes longer than normal - normal is pre-issue) the screen goes black and I'm left with a mouse and no keyboard input.  I can boot into any mode except Normal
    mode - Normal mode is the only mode where I cannot get my desktop.
    I tried 'Last known good configuration' and that works until I reboot or shut down the computer, which then goes back to the black screen on startup and login.  Also, when I do utilize the 'Last known good configuration' boot, I lose my network card
    driver.  That's not a problem because I just reinstall it and I can then connect.
    I ran anti-virus with zero results.  I ran Malwarebytes with zero results.  I ran SUPERAntiSpyware with zero results (exempting cookies). 
    I have yet to see another post where someone can get into any mode except Normal mode, or keep their 'Last known good configuration' only once before it goes bad/corrupt on them.  I don't know what else to look for.  My registry shows Shell = Explorer.exe,
    and any other registry checks mentioned in other posts come out valid (nothing to change/update).
    What should I do short of reinstalling Windows?

  • Windows 8.1 black screen with mouse cursor after login (HP 2730P)

    I live in Canada and first just to confirm that Windows 8 with all Microsoft patches was running ok on my HP EliteBook 2730P NoteBook PC. Originally I had Windows XP running in it. With Win 8, I just lost few unique HP
    applications.
    But last night, just after my upgrade to Windows 8.1, I had the blank screen problem after the login, as you already described. I went to HP and Intel web sites for some help and fixes but nothing really helpful. According
    to what I red, it's always someone else responsability but not their's or the easy way to get out of it, not supported on Windows 8 and above. But as my (not so old)   HP 2730P is a NoteBook PC that I am used to work with, I
    did a lot of researches to make it work fine with Win 8 and now with 8.1 .
    So, after many hours on Internet I finally corrected my problem the same way as ghoust1101 showed previously; with the Info and instructions on youtube.com/watch?v=Rgje-t0OLdI
    After the sfc /scannow , I got a message saying that many errors and corrupted files were fixed, plus as showed, I deleted "c:\Windows Activation Technologies", which corrected my problem. Done a reboot and everything was fine after
    showing me the correct Windows 8.1 screen and the rest is to get familiar with it.  
     Hope this could help...

    Hi,
    Actually, I'm not sure what your exactlly problem it is, what's you meaning of Black Screen? All the screen black or just background? While Glad to see your problem resolved, Hope your experience is helpful with others.

  • Black Screen with mouse cursor

    Hello
    We are an enterprise organization with staffs logging in to their systems using domain username and password.
    For some of our users having Windows 7 as OS, when they log in with their domain credentials a blank screen appears with movable mouse cursor, this screen does not go away until we disconnect them from LAN as well as wireless after which only the login
    happens.
    Kindly suggest how to resolve this issue

    Hi,
    Have you tried the suggestion Cyber_Defend_Team provided?
    If the issue persists, start the computer in Safe mode to check the result:
    If it doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers as possible causes. If a recently installed program, device, or driver prevents Windows from running correctly, you can start your computer
    in safe mode and then remove the program that's causing the problem.
    If it still in the safe mode, we may need to repair the installation with the recovery media.
    In addition, please logon the problematic computer with the domain user account which works fine in other computer to test to see if it's the user account issue.

  • [SOLVED] log into KDE given a blank black screen with mouse cursor

    hi,
    noticed kwin using much higher cpu usage then normal, restarted KDE, everything seemed ok and then, while copying a file over to a samba share, my desktop went black with only a mouse cursor.
    Restarted KDE, rebooted pc, reinstalled KDE (everything), xorg, nvidia, deleted xorg.conf created new user but nothing will give me my desktop back
    once when i logged on, i had a kde crash report and messages on my widgets saying missing components. Tried to submit bug but missing debugging tools.
    sometimes KDE won't log in at all.
    forced an fsck on next boot with no errors found.
    please help
    thanks
    EDIT: [solved] I had filled up my /var partition. cleaned pacman cache and all is good again. Phew!

  • Black Screen with Cursor (Tried most solutions)

    To save your time and mine, I’ve tried all options in “press f8” and “recovery disk”. Over the past 3 days, I read almost all threads, videos, articles, and official MS help containing any mention of this problem. I also applied many commands, created few
    “SystemRescue CDs” and “Kaspersky Rescue 10” on a usb drive. I follow instructions very well, and have never been stumped by a windows problem like this before. If someone solves this, you are a wizard!
    Nothing has worked so far, but I really want to figure this out and not ‘reinstall’. It appears to be a simple and popular problem: “Right after Win 7 boot Logo, I get black screen with white mouse cursor,
    no matter if I boot in safe mode, last good configuration, or normal startup”, but all the solutions that worked for most people are not working for me.
    TL;DR: (answers to any of the 7 questions in the end will help me out)
    Custom System: Win 7 64 bit (updated consistently), 4gb ram, Quad Core 2.66, 64GB SSD (Crucial M4) and 4 hard other drives. Only windows installations/updates have been installed onto the SSD, no other programs. Only 1 OS has ever been installed
    on this computer. Never dual booted.
    Mobo: Asus Maximus Formula. GPU: AMD HD7870LE
    2014-04-19
    I haven’t installed or downloaded any programs in the past 3 weeks, and did not notice anything unusual up until this incident.
    In the morning the computer went into hibernation because I was away, it couldn’t wake up (usually happens), so I turned off the power supply. Turned it back on, and computer resumed, I was concerned as it may have run out of hard drive space on my 64GB
    SSD (4GB free), but it booted fine.
    Later during the day, I decided to restart the computer, and as it booted up again, it went into “start up repair”. I let it run and restart, and it arrived at the dreaded Black screen with mouse cursor, of death, right before logon screen.
    Symptoms while on this black screen.
    Ctrl alt del doesn’t work, power off doesn’t work, cursor can move, pressing ‘shift’ many times doesn’t bring up the ‘sticky key’. No task manager.
    Hard drive is not loading anything, just idle.
    Computer falls asleep after 15 minutes or so, and can wake up back to this black screen, so it remembers my power settings
    Safe mode loads the drivers fine, but also gets stuck on the same ‘black screen with cursor’ forever
    I tried every option in the ‘advanced boot’, including ‘safe with command prompt, safe with networking, last known configuration, etc’
    Last known configuration, and all of the above, all boots to ‘black screen with cursor’, this means windows believed it booted fine the last time, so it remembered this configuration. That’s because all the drivers loaded without issue. While loading
    Safe Mode, I can see windows loading all the drivers ok.
    No restore or backups (I know, I do not deserve to live, lesson learned)
    I tried all applicable functions from the ‘recovery cd command prompt’, bcdedit, bootrec, diskpart, and still couldn’t get it to boot.
    Commands applied in Elevated Command Prompt from Installation DVD: (very careful with backups and overwriting)
    Diskpart -> list volume, tells me that 100mb is system reserved, the other 59GB has no label, and is a different partition
    Bootrec -> scanos, tells me that I have 0 windows installations, used fixboot, /fixmbr, /rebuildmbr, all successful. Mounting the drive later on RescueDisk’s TestDisk shows no problems with either partition.
    BCDedit: shows both boot manager and winloader to be on the same drive, and I referenced it with a typical BCDedit enum output, and nothing is out of place.
    I went into Regedit by typing “regedit” in command prompt in Win7 recovery cd, and confimed that ‘Shell=explorer.exe’ under:
    HKEY_local machine/software/microsoft/WindowsNT/Currentversion/winlogon.
    Sfc /scannow couldn’t run due to “Pending repairs/restart”
    So I used: SFC.EXE /scannow /offbootdir=c:\  /offwindir=c:\windows
    Which ran and repaired some errors the first time. I ran it more just to make sure, with restarts in between, it gave me
    Win resource protection did not find any integrity violations.
    So the system files appears to be fine and not corrupted.
    Bootrec /scanos does not detect any windows installations. “0 Windows installations identified”, yet “Diskpart -> Detail Disk” and bcdedit both detects the windows directory.
    From windows recovery disk:
    Startup Repair diagnosis: (Show Details)
    All tests completed successfully
    Boot status indicates that the OS booted successfully
    It seems that the system and the OS boots successfully, and windows believes it boots successfully (that’s why last know good configuration gives me the black screen also, and Win Startup Diagnosis all says it booted successfully”
    It’s the second before it enters into the logon screen, the black screen and movable cursor appears, and hangs here forever. What programs load during this step, and how can I find out this info? Is there a diagnosis tool that allows me to see the programs
    as they load during windows start up?
    Other attempts:
    Then I read it could be windows using “winresume.exe” instead of winloader.exe, since I have “hiberfil.sys” in C:\windows, so I backed it up and deleted it using SystemRescue.
    Another thread said “winevt” bad logs, in C:\windows\system32\winevt were causing this black screen, so I backed it up and deleted that also, and it still won’t boot.
    I plugged in the devices that were attached (just 1 ext hard drive, through a 10 port usb hub) that was connected while it went into hibernation on April 19th, and it didn’t help.
    The files on that disk and the file system is not corrupt; I tested it by taking it out and docking it on a usb Blax Duet, and my laptop did a scan disc, and it’s fine. The Sfc Scan also shows that it is ok.
    I also unplugged all the other sata drives, switched the SSD sata cable around to other sata ports to no prevail.
    So far I know:
    Very unlikely that it’s a virus problem, I haven’t installed or downloaded anything this month, scans from Kaspersky 10 rescue disk shows nothing, Farbar scan shows nothing. I also never install anything suspicious, like toolbars or junk. I scan regularily.
    Not a driver problem, since I haven’t changed or updated anything. I unplugged all devices, and starting in 640x480 mode also gives the black screen with cursor. Drivers all loaded fine while starting windows and safe mode
    Boot files are intact, windows system files are in the right place since windows actually boots into a shell? Both bootloader and boot manager show up in bcdedit enum scans
    Not due to system file corruption, since file integrity are confirmed ok by above CMD commands, and windows diagnostic tool, and testdisk.
    My questions:
    What could be the cause of this? I didn’t make any changes to BIOS, windows settings, perform any updates, suspicious activities, installations, or crashes, before this. The files on that disk and the file system are not corrupt either, I tested it by
    taking it out and docking it on a usb Blax Duet, and my laptop did a scan disc, and it’s fine.
    Which program (classpnp.sys? explorer.exe? winlogon.exe?) is being loaded right before “windows logon screen” that would cause it to hang with a black background and cursor?
    How can I find out this information? Is there a tool that can record all programs that are being loaded by windows at boot?
    I only have access to regedit, elevated command prompt, and I can change files through SystemRescue or Kaspersky recue, how can I get the computer to boot past that black screen with a mouse cursor? The answer seems so close.
    From the Rescue Disks, what could I really do to get past the black screen?
    Those who are computer technicians could tell me: If I take it to a computer shop or technician, what could they do in a situation like this aside from all of the above? Do they have some ‘next level’ access tools or are they just going to waste my time
    and tell me I have to reinstall?
    At the very worst, I will obviously reintall. On my 64gb SSD, I didn’t install any important softwares. All my important software installations are on a separate drive. However, will they still work if I did a ‘Inplace Upgrade’ install of windows? Does
    registry get wiped?

    Hi,
    Have you tried to take startup repair when booting with the rescue disk?
    Startup Repair
    And we'd better bring the PC to the vendors, then take an examination of the hardware health.
    How does the Bootrec /scanos show 0 installation identified? We may take a try with chkdsk from command line to check if there are any disk errors:
    Run Check Disk from a Command Line to Check for and fix Disk Errors
    Please also take a check if the system reserved partition is stay in health:
    Understand (and Get Rid of) the Mysterious Small Partition
    Another shoot, please try to rebuild BCD:
    Use Bootrec.exe in the Windows RE to troubleshoot startup issues

    Did you read his post at all as it does not look like it.
    As to take it to a vendor "Custom System:"" Win 7 64 bit (updated consistently), 4gb ram, Quad Core 2.66, 64GB SSD (Crucial M4) and 4 hard other drives. Only windows installations/updates have been installed onto the SSD,
    no other programs. Only 1 OS has ever been installed on this computer. Never dual booted."
    As to your other suggestions he has tried them all as have thousands of us out here , all you have to do is search the internet  and you see millions of hits about this.
