[HELP] Computer blacks out

I have a Windows 8 Pavalion g4 computer with AMD a6 vision Graphics card.
My computer blacks out when I first turn it on. I tried everything but I can't find any solutions. It doesn't show my mouse either. I can't press f8 to go to safe mode. I can't even Recovery/Restore it. I don't have the backup disk either. I was thinking I should go to Bestbuy and let them take a look at it.
If you guys have any soulution it would be great!! Thanks

Hello Nubify,
Your computer screen goes black when you turn it on.
Did you upgrade to windows 8?
What has changed since the last time that it was working?
Do you see any flashing lights on the computer?
Does anything appear at first then go blank?
Please post your product and model number.
You can find this information by holding the FN key and pressing the ESC key.
Do a hard reset.
Turn the computer off.
Remove the power cable and the battery.
Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth power sources are removed.
This should reset the hardware in the computer.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

  • Help Screen blacked out in 64 bit apps in CS5

    I recently installed Production Premium CS5 and the AE/Premier Pro/Photoshop 64 bit apps have a portion of the help screen blacked out. I have spent 5 hours on phone with Adobe technical support and they have been unable to resolve. Has been escalated to level 2 support. Essentially the search box in left frame and the top of the main page consists of all black. This makes it impossible to see what has been entered in search box or where the tabs are to click for various options.

    Issue was resolved by removing all Adobe Applications, including non CS5 programs like Presenter, AIR,Captivate, Acrobat and then reinstalling Prduction Premium CS5. After using Control Panel to uninstall applications, used Adobe's clean programn http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html to remove all reminants.

  • My computer blacks out randomly, not pitch black though if you hold it in the light you can faintly still see the desktop.

    My computer blacks out randomly, not pitch black though if you hold it in the light you can faintly still see the desktop.
    If you close and open it again it flashes on for a second and then goes black again.
    Sometimes after closing and opening it several times it works again, other times it doesnt.
    Does anyone know why this is?
    Thanks!

    My iPod touch does this and I need to find out why

  • HELP - Photos black out

    I have a job I have to finish soon, and when I play back part of the video with pictures, the picture blacks out completely, and when it gets the transition, you see the photo for a split-second, and then the next photo is completely normal. This happened to around 5 photos, the problem is, is that it keeps happening! I am able to take the opacity to zero on the problematic photos and bring it back to 100%, and re-render, and it usually works. Any way to REALLY fix it?
    I have a similar problem. Sometimes in between transitions the photo blinks really fast while in the middle of the transition. I mostly see black.
    Thanks!

    Color Model: RGB
    Depth: 8
    DPI Height: 144
    DPI Width: 144
    Orientation: 1 (Normal)
    Pixel Height: 1536
    Pixel Width: 2048
    Profile Name: Camera RGB Profile
    I applied the Dip to Color Dissolve, on the photo before and going into the next photo. The photo that comes second in the timeline, blinks twice. This keeps happening to various photos. The photos that they happened to were either scanned or taken by a digital camera. Do you think I should call Apple regarding this.
    Btw, I have an 8 Core Mac Pro, with 2 GB of Ram and my mac goes really slow when I am using Motion and Final Cut Studio simultaneously. I'm going to purchase more ram. I'm wondering if it makes a difference if I'm using an additional 2 GB of Ram or 8GB. Will I notice the difference?
    Thanks

  • Why does my computer screen black out

    Re: Forums
          I'm using an Hp Pavilion Slim Line s5260f desk top pc.  I have posted this thread several weeks ago.  It seems that I loose my screen on occassion while I am operating my computer.  When this happenes  the computer blacks out and my screen turns into a very dark shade of blue almost black. Having to force shut down the computer to turn it on again.   In the past I have changed my monitor which worked for a while.  Another time a short while ago when this happened  I unpluged the power chord and the chord going from my monitor to my tower  and plugged them in again which worked for a while   It has blacked out again.  I am asking if anyone has an idea of why this happens on occasion so I can try to address this issue be it now or the next time it happens.  I am also hoping that I have posted this question in the proper catogory in the Hp forum.  Thank you Jerry. 

    JrJerry,
    Is this the Nvidia driver update that failed to install? It should install.
    Working on instructions for event viewer (event viewer may be a dead end) but could you send a screenshot of Device Manager?
    Go to Control Panel - Device Manager. Then use Microsoft's snipping tool.
    It should look like this ( image ).
    I am interested in the display adapter. This image is an example of a system with no device errors.
    Please open an admin command prompt. Then enter this command: sfc /scannow  
    One last thought, roughly when did you purchase your system and when did this problem start? If the system was fine until recently and the Nvidia drivers (software) are corrupted then a restore should correct the problem. I would only suggest this course of action after all else fails, especially not being able to update the Nvidia drivers. If the problems remains after a restore then it is hardware or heat related.
    We may have to restore the system back the factory image. Did you create an HP Recovery Disk set?
    Make sure you back up all important data as a system recovery will reformat your harddrive and, in the process, erase all data and programs you have installed since you purchased the computer.
    If we can't solve this problem maybe one or more of the other very knowledgeable forum members can assist.
    One last point, in an earlier reply I had suggested you try DVI if currently using VGA and vice versa. This was suggested to eliminate a possible flakey input-output vga or dvi port connection to the mainboard. This would indicate a mainboard failure. The only solution would be to replace the mainboard with the same type (correctly tatooed HP) mainboard. It may be cheaper to replace the system if this is the case.

  • Background, Images, & text is blacked out. I can not see any menus to edit anything... Help

    Background, Images, & text is blacked out. I can not see any menus to edit anything...
    The curser shows there are links when you move over. I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and restarted my computer with no luck.
    I can not see the menus to try and reset Firefox or change any settings.
    HELP Please

    hello obrienn214, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • Since installing yosemite my computer/screen blacks out, but still running

    Since installing yosemite last week, my computer/screen blacks out, but still running. I have since rebooted everything, started from scratch and utilizing my external drive transferred all files/apps back. Did not help, in fact it is getting worse. Computer screen blacks out every 5 min or so and have to power up again. Also, continue to get Java message updates even after all have been updated over and over again. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • The built in screen in my Macbook keeps blacking out, even though the computer is on.

    Hi
    The internal screen on my Macbook keeps blacking out; when this happens the computer is still on - just no screen. This happens when unplugged after a few seconds, and takes a bit longer when plugged in.
    If I close the lid and open it again the screen works again for a few seconds before the blackout returns. Obviously this is not the ideal work scenario!
    It does not appear that this is a backlight issue (I presume) as I cannot see any image on the screen when this happens from any angle.
    If I turn the brightness all the way down and then back up again the screen flicks on for a fraction of a second before anything happens again.
    Any ideas what might be causing this? If I can fix it? And/or how much an Apple repair of the problem is likely to cost.
    Many thanks for your help!

    Unfortunately it sounds like the logic board... happened on a MB I have at work. That's an Apple Store replacement, and can be expensive if your mac's out of warranty. Free if it's still covered...

  • My Mac Pro starts up when I turn on the power, BEFORE I switch it on with the button, why? Plus, my computer keeps freezing and blacking out.

    My Mac Pro starts up when I turn on the power supply (when I plug it to the outlet), BEFORE I switch on the button on the computer, why is this happening? Plus, my computer keeps freezing and blacking out and I'm forced to restart it, that's when the compter starts on its own when I turn on the power.

    Hello Engender,
    I should have followed up with a progress report because I eventually eliminated all the problems I was having with my Mac Pro, now it's behaving like a new computer… beautifully.   I did originally take Grant's advice above, changing the setting that I had in the System Preferences > Energy Saver but that only stopped from rebooting on its own when I shut down my Mac properly.  Otherwise it continued to restart on its own after freezing or crushing when I switched on the power.  I took my machine to the Apple Store and after many tests they couldn't find anything wrong with it.  I was very depressed about the whole business.
    It was after going onto many of the other Apple related websites that I discovered that it wasn't a faulty power switch or fan, as as I originally thought, but found out that my problem was related to the Graphic Card and possibly I did not have enough ram (I had the original amount of 2 GB).  The original card that came with the computer: 512 MB ATI Radeon X1900 XT was over heating and forcing my machine to shut down, I think it was because I had upgraded to OSX Lion which on its own requires at least 2 GB of ram to operate well.  I added 4 GB of Ram to the 2GB I had (4GB kit (2GBx2), Apple 240-pin FBDIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300 upgrades for Apple Mac Pro (4-core) 1st Gen. - 2006-2007 Desktop/PC, CT579443 from Crucial.com about $160 for the set) and replaced the Graphic Card with ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB from Apple (around $260), (ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro (Mid 2010) - Apple Store (U.S.))  This card works very well with my original Mac Pro 2008.  I installed it about two weeks ago and no problem with it starting on its own, over heating or freezing.  OSX Lion works well and I'm thinking of upgrading to Mountain Lion once I learn that my Mac Pro 1.1  will work with the new hardware I installed.
    Your problem could just be the power cord but I agree with you that doesn't sound right, when I mentioned faulty switch I meant the part where the power cord meets the power button, the unit which houses the power distribution, I thought at first that it could be faulty but changed my mind because of the computer overheating. 
    I don't know if this is of any help to you but I hope your trouble will be solved with the new cord.

  • Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music?  I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music.  My other computers are no longer working.  Not sure how to get

    Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music?  I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music.  My other computers are no longer working.  Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?

    Hi kimcinma!
    Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

    My iphone 4s blacked out you cant see anything but I white line, how do you transfer everything from your iphone to a computer

    Next time make regular backups of your computer. The iPhone is not a backup device, and I'm sure you lost more than your iTunes library. See this user tip for your options: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
