Blank Screen after splash screen on brand new HP Z420 workstation

Tried to install Windows 10 on brand new HP Z420 and it all l seemed to go well and ran for few days.
Now when I restart it the Windows splash screen shows briefly and then goes blank and black, no green light on monitor.
Cant get into safe mode by pressing F4.
About all I can do is try disabling BIOS setting like power management etc and maybe swap out the Nvidia K2000 Graphics card.
This is a very common hardware package that ships from HP with Windows 8.1 so it should just all work. Any one else had this or have any ideas??

OK, I have no explanation, but wiping the drive, reformatting and reinstalling XP from scratch fixed the problem for me.
I understand if you don't wanna take that route. It was my last, last last resort. But among the things that didn't work:
Upgrading to XP from 2K
Adding a beefier PSU
Upgrading motherboard drivers to latest
Removing motherboard drivers totally and reinstalling
Ditto video drivers
Using different vid card
Using onboard video
Removing one, then the other bank of RAM
Reducing CPU frequency
Increasing CPU frequency
Sacrificing a goat or a chicken
I have no idea what happened in the 1st place, and I hate unsolved/unexplained  glitches, but I'm glad my system's working again.
That's all I got to say about that.

  • Computer goes to black screen after splash screen (installed new graphics card)

    I installed an EVGA Geforce GTX 750ti on my computer today, but when I boot it up, it goes and stays on the splash screen for about 45 seconds, then goes to a black screen, and stays there for an indefinite amount of time.  Any ideas on how to make this work?

    BIOS - AMI 7.07 4/20/2012

    Hi
        Have you installed the drivers for your card that would have come with the card ??  Secondly have you changed the BIOS to work from the new card as default  ?????

  • Loading screen after splash screen

    Hello,
    Since the Beta 3 i have a loading screen ( screenshot joined ) after the splash screen, can i delete it? (By the way is there any possibility to use full screen splash screen and not only 6XX x 4XX image )
    Thank you !

    Hi Meyer,
    I'm not sure I  understand what you mean by "having a loading screen... after the splash screen."  But if it's an image that you added via a visual you should be able to delete the image visual. The image visual can be as large as the
    limit of the Screen.

  • After starting up a brand new 10.8.2 iMac it linked to an older iMac, 15 hrs later I have a duplicate screen of 10.6.8; how to get rid of all that down load and free up the new iMac?

    After starting up a brand new imac it down loaded off an older 10.6.8 running imac for 15 hiurs, now I have a duplicate of the older; how to dump all the older stuff and get my new imac?

    OK. Log into your migrated account. Open Users & Groups preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate.
    Click on the Add [-] button and create a new account. Make it an Administrative account and name it whatever you want (but not the same as your current account) and set it up to login automatically. Log out of your current account and log into the new account. Now, select your migrated account and click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. Select the bottom option to delete immediately. DO NOT select the option to erase securely.
    Now, you can choose to migrate again from your old account but be more selective of what you migrate or you can simply copy over the data you want.

  • Some games to not continue after splash screen.

    I've already asked it on answers.microsoft.com but didn't get any reply. So, thought I would ask here.
    What I've tried:
    App troubleshooter
    sfc /scannow
    Answers in http://superuser.com/questions/562188/windows-8-metro-apps-wont-load
    also, I've tried some technet links but in vain.
    I've installed two games - Sonic Dash and Despicable Me 2:Minion Rush. Both of these games to not work after splash screen and they get minimized.
    I've checked the event log and found this
    Activation of app SegaNetworksInc.56538047DFC80_as33fap47kd3c!App failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational

    Apparently it has something to do with remote procedure call. When I open the other game, I get same errors as the above, the only thing which has changed being name of the app.
    Graphics shouldn't be a problem since these games have ALREADY run once, but not now, and I have other heavy-graphic games like Asphalt 8 Airborne which still WORKS.
    I've also tried re-installing but in vain, duh. Looking for help badly. I'd appreciate any help.

    Sorry. Those two links too didn't work. I did all that was instructed in them. However I really appreciate your effort in solving my problem.
    I checked the event log in the path which you asked me to and got this

  • P6N SLI brand new blue screens after splash

    I just put together a new P6N sli board and I can POST.  After the Windows splash screen comes up, it blue screens (BSOD) for less than a second (cannot read message it is so quick) and then reboots.  I've tried booting to a Windows Vista Ultimate hard drive (SATA) and a Windows XP Pro hard drive (IDE) and both do the same exact thing at the exact same spot.  All of the parts of the machine are brand spanking new, fresh out of the box.   I tried booting to normal mode, Safe mode, and LKGC, and all three yield same result.  All lights are green on the little USB dongle.
    Specs are:
    MSI P6N SLI board
    MSI 8600GT video card
    E6600 Conroe chip,
    zalman fan
    2 gigs of Patriot DDR2 800, (4-4-4-12), 2.2v  RAM
    Maddog 400 watt power supply
    My power supply only has the 1 4 pin connector, so I'm not plugged in to the other 4 pin. 
    Please advise...My new machine wants to be gaming, not sleeping.
    Thank you.
    Jon

    I'm confused.

  • After Effects CC Crashing Immediately After Splash Screen?

    Hey guys, installed cretive cloud recently with a full licence but most of the programs seem to crash straight away after the splash screen.  After Effects, Premier, Photoshop and Media Encoder all seem to do this.  Tried signing in, resigning in, uninstalling, using the adobe cleaner and re-install but still the same.  Any ideas why this might be   Thanks.
    OS:     Windows 7 64bit Home Premium (all updates installed)
    CPU:   Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz
    GPU:   NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 - GeForce 337.88 Driver
    RAM:  16 GB

    If you don't have any pressing projects, you could try completely wiping everything off and then reinstalling.
    It's just so odd...
    Perhaps Mylenium might have some ideas as he's more technically-minded than I.
    If you don't get any more good suggestions here, contacting Adobe Support isn't a bad idea.

  • App builder keeps hanging after splash screen images added

    After I upload all my splash screens for SD and HD, I cannot proceed to the next screen.
    There are green checks next to HD and SD, and all looks good.
    I have not uploaded any fonts as there is no HTML in the app.
    I have deleted and re-downloaded the app builder and still get the same behavior.

    The problem was that one of the images had a resolution of 72.09 instead of an even 72. after I changed it it worked. Thanks.

  • Illustrator/indesign and premire pro cc 2014 crashes after splash screen

    Hi, I can't figure out whats going on, I had CC running fine, the 2014 updates came and all software except photoshop crash after the splash screen.  I have done everything I could think of.  Verified fonts, I've uninstalled and re-installed creative cloud and the software.  I ran adobe cleaner which get rid of the original CC software (I didn't want that to happen)  I've deleted preferences, ran disk permissions and repair. CS6 software install and runs.
    I am lost to say the least as to why photoshop CC 2014 works and yet, the others crash.  Any Ideas?
    Thanks.

    Can you send the Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 crash logs to me at [email protected]

    2) Press command +shift + g to open the "Go to the folder" dialog.
    3) In the text edit field type "~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports".

  • Displaying error after splash screen

    I am writing the client side of a client/server app that relies heavily on the connection between client and server.
    I have made a splash screen and while it attempts to connect it displays the splash screen.
    what i need though is that when it fails to connect it should display an alert box in the center of the screen say it has failed to connect.
    I don't understand how to do this i tried using
    JOptionPane.showInternalMessageDialog(null, message);
    and
    final JOptionPane optionPane = new JOptionPane(message, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
    then telling it to go to sleep but nothing.
    how should i do this?

  • After Effect CS6 crashes after splash screen

    I cannot get After Effects to open. When I try to open the software, I get a splash screen, and then the window opens, but the it stops responding before the interface can appear. I thought the issue may have been my virus protection (norton), so I tried shutting down my firewall and restarting my computer. This seemed to work for me the first time I tried it; After Effect opened and everything seemed to work fine, but the next time I started the computer and opened the software it continued to crash, and what I thought was the solution no longer worked. Premiere, Photoshop,and Audition work fine. However, the trial version of FX Home's software, Hitfilm 2, gives me the same problem as well. I have tried alot to get both of these programs to work with no success. I would appreciate any suggestions as to how I might fix this.

    Updated to 310.7 from 306.97, but still no luck. When after effect stops responding there is sometimes a dialog box asking me if I want to send my information. This dialog box does not always appear every time I try to open after effects, but when it does, this is the additional information it gives me:
    Files that help describe the problem:
    C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\WER9F1C.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
    C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\WER193B.tmp.appcompat.txt
    C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\WER19AA.tmp.mdmp
    However I can't find these files on my computer. This is also the same information I get when trying to open FX Home's software, except when I try to open that software I do not get a splash screen or window, the .exe shows up for a few seconds in the task manager and disappears.
