HELP! Black screen after startup after Yosemite installation

Urgent help please.
I Have a late 2010 MacBook Pro and today installed Yosemite. It appeared to install ok, but now on startup it gets past the apple logo screen then just goes to a black screen with a cursor. I have attempted a safe boot, and it manages to get to the login screen, but it won't accept my password, it just keeps on loading the login screen over and over. Would love an answer please...I am completely puzzled!

Ok, I am a couple of days ahead of you. I had exactly the same issus on a mid 2010 mid MBP. Mine failed after the install, although it worked fine for a few minutes untill it went into Sleep. When it came back on it was in color But you could not really see, Another reset and all went black.
After an hour on the phone with support on Sunday who suggested trying a system management reset. Solved nothing. I went to my Genius apt on Monday.  Two hours and 15 minutes waiting in line And finally I got my Genus.
Again a nice guy trying to help, but other than pulling the connector to the screen and getting back my comprised color negative screen no real progress. "I know it sounds like a strange coincidence but maybe you display went bad."  Well perhaps you can get hit by lighting twice in a row while humming "Oh, What a beautiful morning" but I did not think so.
I was more lucky back at home. I recently installed an SSD, so I took it out and booted with the old drive and booted 10.9.5. Display was fine. So this proved the issuse was Yosemite install. Here is the good news, when I put the SSD back in everything was great. i know you can't do exactly what I did. Here is what I suggest..
I believe the issuse is bad video driver with Yosemite during the install.   rreinstall Maverick or boot from another drive with OPTION. . I believe it will work fine. Then if you are lucky perhaps your Yosemite will work as mine did...

  • My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update

    My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update. It ran beta 5 great but failed on restart after beta 6 install. There is no cursor but I can hear the HDD spooling up. I have tried booting in safe mode, PRAM reset and SMC reset but nothing works. After the first 5 days of every now and then trying to start it, it started fine. I used the machine all day with no problems, it had rolled back the install and was back on beta 5. I decided to try the update again, the same thing happened and it has stayed black for over a week now. It wont work with a monitor either. Help!

    Hello Adam,
    I would try instead of installing the beta software, to install the official build of OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store to see if that gets you passed the no video issue when updating the beta software.

  • Satellite M70 - Black screen after recovery installation

    So far what I have done is put in the Product Recovery DVD-ROM. Then when restarting my computer I was prompted to restore my computer to the factory defaults and said. After it went through that process it told me to remove the disc so I did. Now all it does is reach a black screen after the Toshiba screen that gives me the options to f2 for setup and f12 for options.
    I do not know what to do now to make my laptop work again. Please help.

    Satellite M70 is old notebook model and I would like to know do you use recovery disc for the first time. I had Satellite M70-159 long time ago and have installed recovery image many times.
    Which installations mode you have used: standard mode or expert mode?
    Try to install it again.
    As Xardas wrote try to obtain Microsoft installation disc and check if everything works well.

  • Black screen after the installation of the graphics driver

    Hello,
    - Recently I bought a 'GT 610' graphics card to replace the old broken one,
    - after the assembly one short beep was audible during system reboot (=OK),
    - a default windows graphics driver was installed by Windows Vista,
    - screen resolution manually set at native screen resolution (1280 x 1024),
    - (youtube movies as well as flash player worked fine),
    - the installation of the (most recent) nVidia driver went smoothly (the old driver on CD did not!),
    - after the nVidia driver installation the system restarted itself to activate the driver.
    So far so good.
    - Unfortunately after rebooting the screen got black and remained black,
    - no log-in screen, only the typical Windows start-up screen with the green progression bars was temporarily visible,
    - in safe mode I had to disable the nVidia driver to restart Windows in normal mode.
    - At this moment I can use my computer for desktop application like MS Office, email or internet browsing, not for video editing or gaming.
    Question: How to enable the nVidia driver to use the graphics card's full capacity?
    Thanks.

    - Yes, the GT610 is a genuine MSI product bought in the local computer store.
    - I suppose my board (Vendor = Micro-Star International Co., Ltd --> also MSI) is an OEM product. I don't have any hard evidence, but on the internet I've found some independent threads claiming the MS-7318 is an OEM product indeed.
    - Both VGA cards (nVidia GeForce 6700XL/7650GS based) are Medion products. They have their own Medion drivers. Nevertheless in the past latest downloaded nVidia drivers seemed to work fine when installing them on these Medion PC's.
    - MS Windows XP SP2 on the provided recovery DVD is a Medion OEM product for sure.
    - My Computer model = Medion Akoya MD 8818
    - Test computer = Medion Akoya MD 8818 (same board, same PSU, same graphics card, same ...) --> But a few months ago, the original graphics card of this test PC also crashed and had to be replaced!! Weak cards these 7650GS. So, the 6700XL is a replacement for the original Medion GeForce 7650 GS in the test PC. Fortunately I could use the graphics card (6700XL) of a 1 year older Medion Akoya MD 8800 PC. This card works fine.

  • MSI R9 270x 4G Black Screen after drivers installation

    Hi to all,
    My problem comes after two months of buying this new graphics card model. I used it for two months and it crashed. it stopped working. I formated the computer and everything was fine till I tried to install the drivers again. As soon as I install the driver of the graphic card the screen goes black. I tried to install drivers from AMD website and everything from scratch, but nothing. Still the same problem.
    Don't know what to do next. Update Vbios? change driver? older one? windows regedit? Please I need a solution as my motherboard haven't got integrated graphics.
    The serial number is:
    S/N: 602-V303-09SB1402067956
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Jesus Angel.

    I am using an AMD ASUS 4870 1Gb. No problem. my system is not old at all. And I test it in a different computer. Same problem. Could be an incompatibility with driver and windows? No idea. I know I am not the only one with the same problem. The graphic card works  till I try to install drivers. That's my theory

  • Black Screen after W7 logo before login screen - HELP!

    Hi,
    When I start windows, after Windows 7 start logo, I get a black screen for about 20-40
    seconds, then a black screen with cursor for around 1 and a half minute and then I get the login screen, thats around after 3minutes.
    I am facing this problem for quite some time now, I also did a clean windows installation
    after wiping out harddisk using diskpart. But it was of no use, still I get that annoying Black Screen at startup and I think my laptop is a bit slow too. When
    I open windows in safe mode, I get the Black screen there too but for like 35-45 seconds.
    I also ran Dell PC Checkup, everything is fine.
    I'd be really grateful if someone helps me find out what exactly is wrong with my laptop
    and how can I get rid of this black screen, thanks!

  • Qosmio X870-149 - Black screen after Update to win 8.1

    After an update to win 8.1 I got a black screen after login , the only thing I could do was to press zero during startup and make a recovery installation .
    It took 40 houres , I do not know why it took so long , but when it was over, the HDD was completely empty , so I installed win 7 instead , since I had not made ??a recovery CD . The problem now is that I still get black screen in between , and thinking that it might be a heat problem , I still have warranty , but I do not know if it applies when I installed win 7 on the machine.
    I still have a warranty on my toshiba Qosmio

    Hi
    Well, the warranty covers the hardware related problems. It does not cover any issues related to the software.
    Now the open question is: why the black screen appears?
    Is it hardware or software issue?
    What happens if you access the BIOS?
    Can you see anything on the screen?
    Is something visible on the external monitor?

  • [Solved] Amilo XI 2550 - Black screen after fresh install

    Dear archlinux users,
    I have been reading the archlinux wiki and forums since I started using arch several years ago. It was always possible to solve the problems I ran into by consulting these webpages, therefore a big thanks to the community for the provided help.
    Two weeks ago I installed arch on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo XI 2550. The first problem I ran into was that booting the live-cd resulted in a black screen and I could not even start with installing arch. This problem was solved with the kernel parameter 'nomodeset'.
    The first boot of the freshly installed arch also resulted in a black screen after the GRUB menu which was perfectly displayed. After some searching (here and here and ...) I plugged in an external monitor and it showed the login screen. I then installed KDE because I thaught the problem might not show up with X and KDE running. After the login to KDE I realized that the brightness of the laptop display is nearly black but not totally. It seems as if the brightness is at a very low level, but brightness cannot be controlled with the Fn+F8 or Fn+F9 commands. But I see a OSD that indicates that the controls are used but without effect. So at the moment it is only possible to work on the laptop with another display connected to it.
    Maybe of use:

    Hello Trilby,
    thanks for the reply.
    Trilby wrote:If nomodeset worked with the installation medium, why haven't you tried that for the same problem on your installed system?
    The kernel parameter 'nomodeset' results in a working display but without X support, due to the fact that with 'nomodeset' there is no KMS support and therefore no X. But nevertheless I tried it and as expected X did not start.
    Trilby wrote:Could you also post information about your graphics card and what drivers you've installed.
    The graphics card is a Radeon HD 2700 and according to the above dmesg log it is recognized as RV 630. The radeon module is loaded via /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and xf86-video-ati (1:7.5.0-1) is installed.
    I hope the provided information is what you asked for, thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Laptop Model : HP Pavilion DV3 41700-EE Entertainment series.
    I download the latest official driver for my lap top from this link : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-93326-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    After the installation i rebooted my device and after the windows loading i got a black screen ! i went to safe mode and unistall the video card and also it's driver from device manager and when i came back the black screen was gone but i have only my onboard Integ graphic which is very slow.
    also i went to AMD web site and get AMD Catalyst from their web site but nothing happened after the installation and i think they don't provide an appropriate driver for my lap top.
    i also tries to go to device manager and with right click on my display adapter and update driver point to the display driver location on my syste but this time it does not take time the black screen after restart, and in the middle of installation i got a black screen.
    Also i upgraded my BIOS Firmware from 16 to 24, but nothing changed.
    i just wanna know is it a software problem or hardware problem ? how can i find out that ?
    also i don't want this switchy manner and i don't care about the power efficency. i just want to my device work on maximum performance.
    What you suggest i do ?

    Use the recovery manager to reinstall the original AMD graphics driver and Catalyst Control center.

I have looked into the issue you are having with your display Turning Black after entering Safe Mode.  I found a document for you called Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot. It would be very helpful for me to know what has been done already so that I can narrow down what troubleshooting would be best for you. You mentioned in your post "again". Is it an intermittent issue? Please follow these provided troubleshooting steps, re-post with the results of the steps in the document, and any other troubleshooting steps you had tried and the results. Have a great day!

  • 270X Gaming - Black screen after driver install

    I just recently purchased an MSI R9 270X Twin Frozr Gaming.
    I physically installed the board and booted my PC. Windows started fine, albeit in VGA mode. I then proceeded to install the latest AMD drivers for the card (13.11 Beta). I made it through installation and then rebooted. When I rebooted, I got a blank, black screen after the "Starting Windows" screen. I was unable to boot windows, so I restored to last known configuration and tried again with different drivers (13.9) with the same result.
    Does anyone know why windows hangs when it loads the display driver? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi everyone. I just wanted to give you an update. It seems I have resolved the problem.
    After attempting other fixes (fresh Windows install, MB BIOS update, etc), flashing the BIOS of the video card fixed the problem. I used the BIOS version
    015.040.000.000.002887. I believe the BIOS the card shipped with is 015.039.000.000.002887. Anyway, there are no problems now. I was able to install Catalyst 13.11 Beta 9.5 with no problems and no black screens.
    I got the BIOS and ATIWinflash from TechPowerUp. I'd post links, but I am too new to the board.
    Thanks guys.

  • Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade

    Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade.
     What happen: My laptop was working fine, no blue screen issue, no funny business at all. I bought a new SSD Intel 120 GB and thought it would be a good idea to replace the HDD. I shutdown and disconnected the power adapter, waited a couple of minutes and removed the battery. I opened up the back case and replaced the HDD. And put all the screws back and put the battery back in.
    Problem: The very first time I turned the power on, nothing happens besides a black screen. I pressed the dvd drive it works and opens up and closes. I waited for about 30 mins and still has blac screen. When I mean black screen, no bios menu, no logo, just a black screen with the fan sound on.
    I have tried these:
    1. Unplugged everything - battery, adapter, and pressed the power on button for about 60 seconds, nothing, the laptop turns on with the LED display on for both on and battery LED's. But nothing but black screen, no sound of windows loading just the fan and black screen.
    2. I tried putting back my old 2.5" and nothing but black screen.
    Thoughts and suggestions?

  • [SOLVED] Black screen after GRUB

    Hello everyone
    I was setting up a machine with E17 and was trying various DM's since none seemed to work. After attempting to use LightDM, I get a black screen after GRUB. I was trying to read the various logs at /var/log/ but I cannot understand them properly. I tried reinstalling entrance and LightDM with no luck. I even tried editing grub's entry appending '1' or 's' and still no dice. Any help would be appreciated.

    I missed something important in Xorg.log. As you can see, fbdev and modesetting aren't loading as usual. I didn't check grub stuff, I don't think it's related, since loading in level 3 (text mode) I get a black screen but I can login as root and turn off the computer blindlessly.

    Also does disabling LightDM again help resolve the issue, i.e. can you get it to work without LightDM?
    No, I can't get it to work changing DM's. I'm not sure if I pacman -Syu before changing DM's another time. Maybe it wasn't LightDM's fault afterall.

    Thanks for pointing out that. I didn't knew I had it on.
