Blank screen with cursor after logging in

After upgrading to Windows 8.1 from windows 8 (which took much much longer than a clean installation),on being prompted to log in, all I see is a blank screen (the cursor works though) after logging in. Upon doing a lot of googling, I am utterly confused
about the issue and its possible solutions. Can you give me a definite solution to this? The task manager opens via alt+ctrl+del, explorer.exe is not running and that sums up everything I can do with my swanky new Windows 8.1. The following are my
laptop specs
Dell Inspiron 17R 7720 SE
Intel i5
nVIDIA GT 650m 2 gigs
Its getting really frustrating, and I am thinking of reverting to 7 once again.

Hi
Please create dump files for better understanding what exactly happen here. Also check your event viewer.
Maybe some 3rd party application caused this issue, I suggest perform clean boot as well to eliminate 3rd party SW issue

  • Blank Screen with cursor after login Windows 7, Unable to start new tasks

    My problem is similar to the well know Windows 7 Black Screen as referenced by Prevx, though different. When I boot my Windows 7 computer, the login screen appears as always. Following entering the password for default user,
    the screen will give the impression of login, but the final result is a plain black screen with the cursor only. The black screen appears indefinitely and the Windows GUI never appears. The only available option from booting in normal mode with this is Ctrl-Alt-Del
    (Task Manager). From analyzing another computer with Windows 7 Professional, my Task Manager is missing the following user processes: dwm.exe, explorer.exe, and taskhost.exe. Additionally, it is missing the following system processes (possibly irrelevant):
    spoolsv.exe and wmiprvse.exe.
    When I attempt to start a new process using Windows Task Manager, an error message will appear saying “Windows Task Manager has stopped working” and forces you to close Windows Task Manager. This includes starting
    any process such as cmd or explorer.
    I attempted to boot into safe mode. 
    The result was the same as above. Then I attempted booting into safe mode with command prompt. This showed some hope. Following authentification from the login screen, the command prompt appears with the same blank screen with a cursor behind it. Initially
    I attempted to run msconfig.msc to run a clean startup. System Configuration Utilities opens briefly then displays the error same as above. “System Configuration Utility has stopped working” and again forces the program to close. Then I tried to
    open regedit. This works with no error messages! So I have access to the registry, but have no idea what I should modify to get my computer running normally.
    Things I have tried:
    1)   
    Restoring to last know good configuration. (No result)
    2)   
    Repairing Windows configuration. (No result)
    3)   
    Scanning the drive 3 separate times for viruses with both Avast and Symantec. (No viruses detected)
    4)

  • HELP with Satellite Series - P305-S8837; displaying blank screen with cursor

    Help! I have a the P305-S8837 laptop in the Toshiba Satellite Series. I have had the laptop for several months now and it's been working fine until now. I was using it this morning (on the internet) and it started freezing up and so I hit Crtl + Alt + delete and selected the option to restart. It restarted and asked which mode I wanted to start it up in (safe mode, safe mode w/networking, etc.) and I selected the normal option. It started out fine - little windows logo came on with the sound and then went into the Welcome Windows Home Vista premium page (that's like bluish greenish) and then afterwards the screen just goes blank with the exception of the mouse cursor. I let it sit for about an hour and there was no change. I have tried pressing the Crtl + Alt + delete and that has had NO affect. So i manually turned it off and then back on using the power button and tried starting it up in Safe mode w/networking and then just safe mode - both are able to get to the welcome screen but after that it's just a blank screen with cursor and it says safe mode and stuff on the border. Crtl + Alt + delete does not work in the safe mode w/networking but in just the regular safe mode it will go to that same screen that is the welcome and ask if I want to lock the computer, change users, start task manager or restart / shut down. I have selected the restart option and nothing happens and then the Crtl + Alt + delete option no longer works. I have tried manually starting the laptop with the battery unattached and just using the AC Adapter and that has had no impact. I have tried just using the laptop's battery only with no AC Adapter and that has had no impact.
    As you can see, I am in desperate need of some assistance! Please tell me what to do!
    Thanks

    Turn the computer on and immediately press and hold the F8 key.
    On the Advanced Boot Options menu, choose Repair Your Computer.
    When you reach the System Recovery Options menu, choose Startup Repair.
    If that doesn't do the trick, go back to the System Recovery Options menu and do a System Restore.
    If that doesn't fix things either, go back to the System Recovery Options menu, choose Command Prompt, and follow the directions here

  • WDS Capture Image Blank Screen with Cursor

    Hey everyone, happy Friday and Happy Sysadmin Day!
    Not super happy for myself unfortunately! I'm having a problem with a Capture Image in WDS. I have a Sysprepped Dell 6440 running Windows 7 x64.I've created a Capture Image in WDS from a boot image with drivers injected and without drivers injected, but every time I boot from PXE, it gets to the windows loading screen, and then it just shows a blank screen with a cursor.I'm using Microsoft's OpenLicense ISO as a base for the boot.wimI can't find any solution that works. I've tried mounting and unmounting the WIM, restarting WDS, etc. This is getting really frustrating as I'm so close to having these images ready.The blank screen won't do anything, won't open a cmd with Shift+
    F10 or anything. I've also tried booting on a different machine and it does the same thing.Any suggestions are...

  • Waking from sleep only brings up blank screen with cursor

    I have the MacBook Pro retina 11,3 (released October 2013). As the title suggests I am having issues with my Mac not giving me a log in screen when waking from sleep. It seems to happen when I don't close the clamshell and it goes to sleep, when I wake it up from that the result it s backlit black screen with a cursor. I can click, hit the keys on the keyboard but absolute nothing happens. I close the clamshell and open it but they screen seems to not turn they backight off and so reopening it still leaves me with the same screen. Usually the log in screen to type my password will reappear within 20-60 seconds after and I am able to type my password and everything works as normal.
    This his problem has been around since Mavericks for me. I figured I would wait for Yosemite to see if it gets fixed but it still is an issue. This problem is persistent even after compleat reinstalls, even without transferring any data over to the new install.
    I believe there is something to do with the discreet graphics card inside the MacBook Pro. I have a friend who also has the retina model of the same year with the graphics card and has the same issues. It is a Nvidia GT 750M.
    Anyone know of a solution to this issues?

    Quit All applications.
    Hold the option key down and click "Go" menu in the menu bar.
    Select Library.
    Look for "Caches" folder, right click it and move it to trash.
    Restart.

  • Vista Black screen with Cursor after Startup

    Recently, I had a crash in a Skype call with someone, and everything went downhill from there really. I started up my computer again, and I was able to get past the welcome screen, and to a black screen with a cursor. I tried opening up task manager, it
    didn't work at the time, and eventually after my computer freezing up, I shut it off, and this time windows wanted to run check disk. So I let it, I was able to get in this time but I got a blue screen saying REGISTRY_ERROR. I was freaking out badly now, thinking
    my entire system might be corrupted, but I wouldn't give up easily.
    I started it up in safe mode, which surprisingly worked. I had a boost in moral at this point, because all my files also loaded. I started windows normally. I had the black screen thing again, but after a while I had a program pop up. I proceeded to open
    task manager.
    It opened up, and I ended the old explorer process (which was using a very small amount of memory at the time, if that matters at all) and loaded up a new one. This one worked. I am currently posting this on the same computer that has the issue.
    I seen others who had similar issues, but I could open task manager and start up explorer.exe, so I am a special snowflake among these other ones.
    I don't quite know what a good way of going about the issue would be, should I system restore? Is there a problem with the shell? I don't exactly know what I should do, any sort of information should help.
    Some other possibly unrelated things:
    Recently, my driver has been crashing (should I update that, is that the reason this is happening?)
    My files are all intact, I saved important ones. What should I do?

    Nevermind. I took matters into my own hands and it took only a single system restore to fix the issue!
    Crisis averted!

  • Windows 7 Black screen with cursor after boot camp partition

    So I realise this is a problem that was plaguing people a few years back. So I'll go from the very start.
    I've downloaded a copy of windows 7 professional 64bit from the Microsoft website. My optical/CD drive isn't working, so I've been unable to use it
    to install windows. I decided I'd try booting from my USB. So I have the ISO file and formatted my USB and I've downloaded the latest drivers for boot camp assistant on my mac (version 5.0.4) I'm up to date with every update for my mac. Now, I do realise that Apple doesn't recommend using a USB to load windows, but I watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z1gqw0ougo and it explained how to get the checkbox up when you're in boot camp so you can run from your USB.
    My problem now, is that straight after I have partitioned my hard drive, it goes on to install windows but upon restarting it reaches "the black screen of death" with just the white cursor blinking. I've tried multiple times and keep getting the same result. I've even tried what Apple suggested and only have one USB device plugged in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4536
    The details for my mac are as follows:
    Model Name:
    iMac
      Model Identifier:
    iMac10,1
      Processor Name:
    Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:
    3.06 GHz
      Number of Processors:
    1
      Total Number of Cores:
    2
      L2 Cache:
    3 MB
      Memory:
    4 GB
      Bus Speed:
    1.07 GHz
      Boot ROM Version:
    IM101.00CC.B00
      SMC Version (system):
    1.53f13
      Serial Number (system):
    W800992A5PE
      Hardware UUID:
    A108E54E-3C53-5AF8-BFDF-2CF7ED567A74
    and it's a late 2009 model.

    I have solved this issue now but seem to have encountered another one. I solved the above issue simply by keep on trying time and time again, partitioning the hard drive and trying to install windows 7.
    Anyway, I have encountered this error: windows setup could not apply the configuration set. The WINDOWS folder cannot be found.
    Please help!

  • HT201257 AHT - Blank screen with cursor, then gray screen, then shutoff

    I have a mid-2009 MBP 13" with a mid-2010 motherboard (courtesy of warranty repair), and am running OS X Mavericks. When I attempt to use my original Applications Install DVD, I have the above issue. Attempting to install additional software in OS X leads to a "not installable" issue. Since the computer is older, the online AHT is of course, not an option. I would appreciate any thoughts on how I might run AHT.
    Thank you.

    Correct, nothing with disc 1 or with no DVD and with disc 2, the black screen/cursor followed by a gray screen (not the same gray as a normal boot though) followed almost immediately by a power off.

  • Bootcamp 5.0 installation: Blank Screen with blinking cursor after restart

    I have a late 2011 mbp with 16gb ram, 2 750gb hard drives. I'm trying to install bootcamp on the 2nd hard drive. I'm using the cd drive in an external usb housing to install windows 7 ISO burn. I've used this cd several times in the past with no issues. After creating the partition with bootcamp assistant, my mac restarts automatically then when it boots, it goes to a blank black screen with a blinking cursor. I have restarted and repeated this process several times, as well as let it set there for about 1 hour and still nothing...I've also tried sudo ram reset and command option p r but still nothing.
    Anyone have any idea what's wrong?

    Ok guys, for those of you who are having the same problem...here are the instructions on how to get past the blank screen and install windows 7 bootcamp with TWO hard drives installed.
    1. With both hard drives installed, start the bootcamp assistant (you need a usb optical drive with windows dvd inserted to do this). Partition your SECOND hard drive for windows.
    2. When your computer restarts and your at the blank screen with the blinking cursor of doom, manually shut down your computer.
    3. Remove both hard drives from your MBP. Put the "Bootcamp" partitioned hard drive in the main HD bay. MAC OS DOES NOT NEED TO BE INSTALLED ON THE  "BOOTCAMP" HD TO DO THIS.
    4. Install your optical drive back into its factory place. (Where the "BOOTCAMP" HD was just installed at)
    5. Power back up your MBP while holding the alt/option key down. Make sure the windows DVD is still in the optical drive!
    6. Click on windows cd to boot from.
    7. Start installing.
    8. When finished, replace optical drive with "BOOTCAMP" HD and put MAC OS HD back in like it was before this process.
    9. Your finished.
    10. Now enjoy!

  • New Install - startx results in blank screen with mouse cursor

    I installed Arch on my desktop last week with no issues, so I wanted to install it on an old THinkpad R31. Everything with the installation went smooth, but when I try to 'startx' all I get is a blank screen with a mouse cursor that I can move around. I've installed xorg-xinit, xorg-twm, xorg-xclock, and xterm.
    I'm not getting any significant errors in the logs, or even the terminal I issue 'startx' in.
    I'm not sure what the problem could be...
    Here is my output from 'startx'

  • Will a new MotherBoar​d cure Blank Screen with blinking cursor?

    Stuck with Blank Screen with blinking cursor; ESC key couldn’t bring up Startup Menu; OS is not loading
    Product Name: HP G62 237 CA Notebook PC
    Short description of the problems:   
    --- Press ESC key couldn’t bring up Startup Menu when booting up
    --- Blank screen with blinking cursor thereafter
    --- Stuck here forever and OS is not loading
    DETAILED INFORMATION:
    Product Name and Operating System:      
    Model: HP G62 237 CA Notebook PC
    O/S: Pre-loaded with Win 7 Home Prem
    Processor: Pent. Dual-Core CPU T4500 2.30GHz
    Memory: 4GB
    BIOS Ver. (Insyde): F.17
    System BOARD ID: 1484
    Product #: WQ767UA#ABC
    Product Config ID: 049C110000202710000020000
    Problem History:     
    --- Used to have frequent BSOD (got fixed later because of faulty RAM that I suspected)
    --- Window couldn’t be loaded
    --- Window Repair and HP Recovery were tried but not functioning
    --- OEM Hard Drive was then removed & formatted few times by using other computer
    --- Hard Drive was then tested by other computer; it can be installed Win XP & Win 7
    --- So, Hard Drive was eliminated from the suspect list
    --- Replaced with other good RAM from other computers & put back the OEM Hard Drive to my HP G62; everything worked fine, such as: able to reinstall Win 7; listening to music files; got Internet to download latest BIOS from HP support site; connected to my 42 inched TV as my monitor; and even smoothly updated the BIOS from v.17 to v.37!
    --- Also, able to receive Window Updates from the Internet; and seemed that all problems were nicely solved
    --- Once I believe my system got stabilized; I went back to test the 2 supposedly problematic RAM to see whether they were both faulty or not, then the whole thing has turned around! Completely screwed me up until this moment …
    --- After put back the problematic RAM, Window couldn’t be loaded …
    --- With a few error messages… such as,
    --- The file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum;
    --- After the next reboot… an unexpected screen message showed up:
    Intel ® Cantiga PCI Accelerated SVGA BIOS
    Build Number: 1932 PC 14.34 11/11/2009 02:36:14
    DECOMPILATION OR DISASSEMBLY PROHIBITED
    Copyright © 2000-2003 Intel Corp. All Rights Reserved.
    --- After that, OS was not loading …
    --- Press ESC key couldn’t bring up the Startup Menu during boot up
    --- Blank screen with blinking cursor thereafter and seems stuck here forever
    Procedures performed for troubleshooting:
    Tried hard reset for more than 5 times (removed battery, AC adapter disconnected and then hold down the Power button for more than 60 secs) and tried reseating memory too; same result with Blank Screen with blinking cursor after each reboot.
    Connected to an external monitor [Fn + F4/F5] to see whether there was any display, nothing has showed on the external monitor, it seemed that no connection established between the two.
    Finally, took the long journey to follow the Service and Maintenance Guide of HP G62 to remove the CMOS battery for well over 15 minutes and put it back. But the result was again disappointed. Tried 4 times already. The latest error message is:      
    The CMOS checksum is invalid. The CMOS will be reset to the default configuration and will be rebooted. Please check your BIOS Setup options to see if they change.
    CMOS Reset (502)
    ENTER – Reboot the system
    After this message, the same Blank Screen with blinking cursor came back. And pressing the ESC key couldn’t bring up Startup Menu when booting up …
    Note: the fan is still running; the Power button is functioning but seems stuck here forever!
    I’ve already carefully read this HP Support document titled “HP BIOS Application Selected is Corrupt or Missing”:
    http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c01443485#N144
    If really is the BIOS problems, then I will have the difficulties of updating a Window-based BIOS when I couldn’t even load Window!
    (Note: Boot from USB has no point because right now I couldn’t change the boot sequence because the various “Startup Menu” options are not showing up!)  
    Secondly, I am still stuck with the Blank Screen with a blinking cursor after I passed the first screen of “Press the ESC key for Startup Menu” when re-booted again!
    Thirdly, I have formatted my Hard Drive more than 3 times during the last few days for testing; I don’t have the OEM pre-loaded Win 7 with me anyone … and I don’t think I have the UEFI installed previously on my system. I did try hold down the Win Key + B with the most updated BIOS in the attached USB …, it came back with the same blank screen with a cursor blinking after reboot.
    Note: the Blank Screen I’m experiencing right now is not completely black, in fact, there is background light from behind the screen and on each reboot, I can see the HP logo and the left corner message of: “Press ESC key for Startup Menu” … So, I suppose that my computer screen is not physically broken at least.
    Requests:
    Please explain to me that what are the problem areas and the root causes if is possible?
    What steps or other tests can be done to make it work again?
    Do you think replacing the entire MotherBoard can cure the Blank Screen with blinking cursor?
    [Warranty: expired! I am the original purchaser & the end-user of this HP G62; acquired 2 years ago directly from a trustworthy source: staples (in Canada). Would HP Support still willing to service it for an extra charge?]
    Thanks in advance for any suggestion and idea!

  • YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

    YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
    I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

    You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

  • Blue screen with cursor at boot. And everything after that.

    Dear Forums,
    (Please note, I'll refer to the machine as a Server, but it is only using 10.4 client; I am merely using the Sharing capabilities of such).
    I have a MDD G4 that I'm using as a server. When I start it up, I get the Blue Screen with Cursor (BSwC) at boot - and it never goes past that. (Can't move the cursor either).
    I have read the articles
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464
    And Dr. Smoke's
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/startupitems.html
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
    I've also tried AppleJack and clearing out caches, zapping PRAM, etc. All the standard fare.
    It will boot into safe mode just fine, and it is still acting as a server just fine.
    I have also tried Multiple Users (to no avail).
    I tried a reinstall of Tiger, which, interestingly enough, didn't give me the option for Archive and Install and Preserve, but instead only gave me the option to Upgrade (hm, from Tiger to Tiger). While this fixed nothing, the server continued to work after this.
    Then I had the bright idea to install the OS to the 2nd drive I had within. 'Surely this would work,' I thought. But alas. It did not. In fact, clean installation, new disk, (and yes, I booted from this 2nd disk), the same BSwC problem.
    So, please, Dear Apple Support Discussions, let there be someone out there smarter than I (I'm really not that smart, but I do follow instructions well).
    -Ty

    How long did you wait for the blue screen to go away? I also have a iMac G5 2GHz ALS.
    My computer has been having a problem where on the first boot of the day, it it would hang in the gray screen for about 1.5 minutes and the blue screen for about 4 minutes. I thought it was permanently hung but discovered that it would eventually present the login screen. I could then login normally but none of my firewire external drives would mount. I could restart over and over and the same situation would be present.
    Resetting the SMU seems to cure the problem and rebooting would be quick and all firewire drives mounted correctly. I could then reboot as many times after and normal behavior of the iMac would be repeatable.
    However after having the system down for several hours and restarting it, the problem would be back.
    I have now moved all my firewire drives to a powered hub and will watch over the next day or so to see if that changed anything.

  • I have macbook pro 13.3 inch. I am installing window 7 in boot camp manager after copying file of window upto 67% it doesn't response and i had forcely shotdown my macbook. Now my macbook doesn't open and stop in black screen with cursor blinking.

    At startup hold down the Option/Alt key and from the screen that comes up select your OS X partition to start the computer from. Then use the Boot Camp Assistant app to Remove Windows and the partition you reated for it and it will Automatically place the space you allocated for the Windows install back into the OS X partition.
    NOTE:
    Do NOT use Disk Utility to erase the partition that was created for the Windows install. Use the Boot Camp Assistant app again to do that.

    What I have tried:
    Uninstalled iTunes,
