Fresh Install window goes black updating pac

I am new to this, I installed the system configured my wired connection the wirless I still don know how. So I was trying to install gnome and following the directions the first thing is update pacman so I ran # pacman -Syu and in the middle of the download the screen just goes black.
Has this happened to anyone?

Are you sure that this isn't some sort of power saving mode?
If I remember correctly, my monitor blacked out as well during first update because of inactivity.
All you have to do is hit a key on your keyboard.
And forgive me if you consider this stupid, I work with tech support

  • I just upgraded to 10...and now links and buttons black out when my cursor moves over them, and my entire window goes black whenever I scroll.

    I just upgraded to Firefox 10 and had to go back to 3.6 because 10 doesn't seem to work on my computer. I have a windows 7 pc. After upgrading, whenever I moved my cursor over a button or link, that link blanks out or a black bock appears over it. Additionally, whenever I try to scroll, the entire window goes black until I stop scrolling.

    Hi Nester88,
    I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Fresh Install Windows 7 x64 IE 9 Flash Player Crash

    Greetings All,
    I am working on a major imaging prject for my organization.  I'm getting ready to create a new image for some of our machines so I was getting the reference computers ready.  I have noticed that when flash player is enabled in IE 9 it crashes the browser.  I get the "Internet Explorer has stopped working" error.  I can click the close program button, IE will try to launch the same page again and i get the error again with a bar on the bottome of the IE window stating "A problem with this webpage caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab".  After a few rounds of this I get the "Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website."  This is occuring on two different machines that I have been preping.
    Here are the details of what I have done to these machines:  (Dell E6420 and Dell E6320)
    1.  Installed Windows 7 x64 from install media (blanked the drive so fresh install)
    2.  Installed SEP 11.0.6200.754
    3.  Installed all drivers fresh off of Dell's website.
    4.  Installed Office 2010.
    5.  Ran and updated EVERYTHING from MICROSOFT update, SP1 and IE 9 included.
    6.  Went to Adobe.com and installed the latest Acrobat, Flash, and Shockwave Player from the links on the main page.
    7.  Rebooted and now anytime I go to any page with Flash objects I get the above error.
    Here are version:
    Windows 7 x64 SP1
    IE 9.0.8112.16421
    Shockwave Flash Object (Enabled in Manage Add-ons) 10.2.159.1
    As said these are two brand new machines, two fresh loads, two batches of software fresh from the web, and two machines having unacceptable problems when Flash is installed.  What's up here?
    Many Thanks for your time!

    I’m going to take a moment and do two things, bump the thread, and provide a short synopsis on where we stand on this issue.
    After much trial and error and the help of Chris I can say with relative certainty that this is an issue with compatibility between nVidia’s Optimus systems and Flash player’s hardware acceleration feature.  I don’t know if the issue is just IE9 or IE8.  I haven’t taken the time to try this on an Optimus system with IE 8 yet.  If someone out there is running one of the Optimus enabled laptops with IE8 and the latest flash installed I would love to hear some feed back.
    Ultimately IE8 vs. IE9 is an inconsequential issue.  Soon Microsoft will start pushing IE 9 as an important update meaning that the problem will need to be fixed or we’ll be faced with more users having the problem. 
    I have posted about the issue in the nVidia forums, Dell forums, and Adobe forums.  Please find the links to the threads below.  I don’t believe the issue to be unique to just the two Dell models that I am dealing with.  I have run across numerous complaints along this line from several different OEMs.

  • Skype crashing on a freshly installed windows 7

    Hi,
    I made a fresh install of Windows 7 after switching to an SSD a couple of hours ago, but I can't seem to get Skype to work, it freezes and gives me the "Skype has stopped working" dialog. I have updated to IE11 as suggested in one of the posts, I also removed Raptr as suggested in a fairly recent post (it installed itself along with my graphic drivers). Below is the exact error I am getting and I will also attach a DxDiag(in a .zip, seems txt files are not allowed as attachments here).
    Problem signature:
    Problem Event Name: APPCRASH

    EDIT: Solved by deleting the Skype directory in Appdata/Roaming.

    The Bootcamp/Windows installer silently installs BC drivers that support Apple Hardware (Keyboard, Wireless, Trackpad, etc...), but it may have failed.
    Download appropriate drivers for your Mac year/model from Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support to a USB2 flash drive and run setup.exe from Bootcamp folder to install/repair drivers as described in Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers.

  • Firefox 21 whole window goes black after being opened for a few seconds

    After most recent update (21 I think), Firefox window goes all black - no buttons, anything, a few seconds after opening. Sometimes it'll last a few minutes before going black. Start menu remains so I can minimize it, close it, etc. Audio if playing on the page will continue to play after blackout. Tried all basic tricks including uninstall/reinstall.
    Windows 7 64bit ATI Radeon 5XXX 4gb ram. Other browsers work fine. All else seems to be fine with Firefox before it goes black.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC Cannot Install Cyberlink PowerDirector on Fresh Install Windows 8.1

    HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC
    Product number: F5D54EA#ABU
    Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
    I replaced the original system drive with a SSD, fresh install of wndows 8.1 (not recovery disk), now I canot install Cyberlink PowerDirector downloaded from HP sp69386. During installation it fails with "This is not a valid HP drive, Setup will now abort" It obviously requires something to be available on the drive but I don't know what.
    PowerDVD will install just fine.
    Please don't mention a Recovery Install it's taken too long to arrive at this stage.
    The question is what is the software looking for during installation to satisfy itself that this is a genuine HP laptop and can I replicate that on the SSD.

    Hi @Darren104
    Welcome to the HP Support Community. I saw your post regarding the problem installing the Cyberlink PowerDirector software. As the PowerDirector software is DVD software I can't see how a new SSD would cause the “not a valid HP driver” if you had changed out your optical drive then maybe. I would recommend that you give us a call at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.

  • If I download the latest OSX update via the App Store, can I choose to do a fresh install instead of an update?

    That's basically the question - since I get a RAM error upon trying to freshly install the OS on my MBP (disc or SD card), I find this to be the last remedy. I already tried switching the RAM. I'd like to sell my device, so I wanna "reset" it. Can I choose to freshly install OSX when downloading the Mountain Lion update?

    That is not a RAM issue. You're trying to boot from a Mac OS X version too old for the computer.

  • GE40 Dragon Eyes 20C. Webcome broken after fresh install windows 8.1

    I just bought this laptop 3 weeks ago. I freshly installed 8.1 from a CD and so far, the webcam doesn't work. It doesn't appear in Device Manager and Fn + F6 doesn't work. What should I do? Couldn't find drivers around the net. MSI page for this laptop doesn't provide the driver for the webcam. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Did it work before you installed Windows 8.1?
    Do you have SCM installed? Is it working?

  • IPhoto windows goes black (photo disappears) when editing

    I recently upgraded to iPhoto 11 and was editing a photo when it disappeared. Basically, the entire iPhoto window went black and I was unable to make an edits.
    When I went back to the Events page the picture was there looking normal. But I am unable to edit the photo because any time I go to make a change, the picture disappears.
    I restarted iPhoto and rebuilt the database, the thumbnails... every option available when restarting holding the Option + Command keys. Still no joy.
    Anybody have any clue what's going on?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. *Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. *Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. *A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. *A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. *A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *If none of these help*:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • No DHCP after fresh install Windows 7 64 bit

    OK so we are upgrading out computer to windows 7. A particular model has gave me some really wierd issues. it is a lenovo 7844B4U. After a fresh install off the cd of windows 7 64 bit dhcp does not work and if we leave the cable plugged in it overloads
    the network. It has the right drivers and nothing seems to work, only a static ip works. Now we have the 32 bit image of Win 7 that came with the box. if we install that then DHCP work just fine and it work. It only happens to this particulr model. I have
    tested on 3 different boxes.

    I'm a bit confused: you put a hard drive with an -identical- 64-bit install of Windows 7 from a non-working machine into another non-working machine and it begins to work correctly? Or is it a different 64-bit build of Windows 7? Or is it something else
    altogether? It seems odd that an identical build on identical hardware would work on one machine but not both - something has to be different, I think.
    If you have DHCP set up with registered MAC addresses, and if these machines originally all had static addresses, are you sure their MACs are registered correctly? And, if they have multiple NICs, are all of the NICs MAC adresses registered? If only one
    of multiple is registered,  are you connecting to that one?
    Is DHCP newly implemented, or has it been around for a while? If it has been around, then was there a reason those XP builds had their IP addresses set statically?
    Ok let me try to explain it a little better. I have 3 computer all the same models 7844B4U. I have 3 hard drives that work in the same model. Hard drive 1 has XP installed and had a static IP set. Hard drive 2 has our custom 64bit image of windows 7. and Hard
    drive 3 has a same image that came with the computer when we got them which is Windows 7 32 bit. the xp image had a static ip and was done before my time here so I have no idea why they gave it an ip or what. Now computer 1 and computer 2 will not pick up
    dhcp. Those 2 had static ips set in the computer. Computer 3 will pick up dhcp. No matter which of the 3 hard drives I put in computer 1 and 2 dhcp will not work. Now if i put all 3 hard drive in computer 3 they all pick up dhcp. And computer 3 never had a
    static ip set before.
