HP Pavilion DV3 41700-EE Problem-Black Screen after installing graphic card driver

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.

Black screen after adding graphics card to H530

I am trying to install an EVGA Geoforce GTX 560 Ti into a H530. I have updated the PSU to 600w, and have tried to set the BIOS settings to the appropriate values. BIOS settings are: Display=AUTO, Secure Boot=Disabled, CSM=Enabled, Boot Mode=Auto (also tried Legacy), Boot Priority=Legacy First, Video Display=Auto (also tried PEG). Every time I install the card and boot, the screen comes up black. Once I remove the card, the display comes up normally. On board graphics uses VGA, GTX uses DVI. Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OK, this is embarrassing enough that I almost didn't write back. The monitor I was using has both VGA and DVI inputs. It apparently defaults to VGA and I found a source switch to select digital & now everything is cool.
Why I decided to write back, in addition to closing this out, is to point out that higher speed graphics cards can be supported on the H530. I installed an EVGA GTX560 Ti, which is not the fastest card in the world, but it looks like it compared to the list of cards cited in the maintenance manual which IMO are not enough of an improvement to bother with. Anyway, maybe the Bios settings I used will help someone else.

Replacement LCD install problems, black screen after boot.

Hello,
Just replaced my broken LCD screen (model LTN170CT10) about a third of the screen was just vertical white lines and you could see a dark patch where the LCD was broken.. After quite a lot of searching I found a suitable replacement the same as listed on this link - http://www.powerbookmedic.com/17-Inch-MacBook-Unibody-Display-LCD-Screen-NEW-p-1 7383.html
My original screen was the matte anti glare so I decided to change to glossy as trying to find the aluminium bezel was proving impossible, anyway I followed the guide off this website and proceeded to replace the LCD, now after I boot all I get is a black screen, can't see any image at all, totally black. I opened the mac back up and checked all the cables and everything seems to be connected right but I still get the black screen. I thought I must have bought a DOA but I've tried the original LCD and that is just black as well.
Connected and external monitor and the mac is booted no problems, checked everything else worked, bluetooth, isight , airport etc, everything works fine apart from the display.
Systems profiler shows this -
http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n265/remrok/Screenshot2011-02-24at003756.png
I've zapped PRAM and reset the PMU and still nothing
Any ideas of what to check next or any other info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Liam.
Update -
After screen sharing the Macbook Pro on my G5 I tested the brightness buttons on the the Macbook's keyboard and sure enough I can see the settings go up and down. The contrast buttons don't do anything though the icon comes up on the screen and looks as if the contrast is turned all the way down and there is also a circle with a line through it, pic here - http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n265/remrok/Picture1-4.png,

GTX 660M black screen after installing driver, maybe a BIOS problem

Hello,
I own a custom PowerPro 11-36 laptop based on a MS-16F23 platform. A few months ago my graphics card died. (A GTX 560M)
I could not afford to buy a new laptop or new graphics card so I replaced it with a second hand GTX 670M 3 GB. It worked fine at first, but after a month this card also died.
About a week ago I received an used GTX 660M from an acquaintance.
I installed it with the new heatsink, started Windows and everything looked OK. Then I installed the Nvidia drivers and after reboot, right after the loading screen, I got a black screen (with the screen still lit).
I went into Safe mode and uninstalled the driver. Then installed again and got the same result. Went into Bios, change settings, tried resetting CMOS, nothing worked. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate again, then Windows 8, same thing. I also tried modding the drivers, still nothing.
I finally connected the laptop to an external monitor and it worked with the Nvidia driver installed. The laptop screen work perfectly without the driver.
Somebody form the Nvidia forum told me that this might be a BIOS problem, so I came here for help. Updating the BIOS is the only thing I haven't tried.
I looked for a fix for this for days now, if anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,
Fox

OK, thanks to runningman and to the great people at Power Notebooks I got to the point I am now. I have a MS-16F2-ID1 platform, with this BIOS:
BIOS Version: E16F2IMT.300
BIOS Build: 05/31/2011
EC Version 16F2EG61 Ver4.22
EC Build 04/21/2011
and a Dell (Alienware) GTX 660M video card with original VBIOS that are currently not fully compatible with each other.
By looking around I have found:
- the VBIOS for the Dell GTX 660M at http://www.techpowerup.com/
- a more recent BIOS for my PowerPro R 11:36-560 MSI 937-16F231-004 on the MSI website.
- that the MSI GE60 0ND laptop used to come with the GTX 660M GPU and I have also found a BIOS for this on the MSI website.
I have tried modding the Nvidia driver again, following the indications in the link provided by runningman, but unfortunately it did not solved the problem.
I understand that for this to work, I have to either find, create, or find somebody that can make a modified vbios for the Dell GTX 660M GPU that will make it compatible with my laptop. Or, I could change the BIOS of my laptop in such a way that it would ID the 660M Dell MXM.
This is were I am right now and I have no idea were to go next. As before, any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx,
Fox

Pavilion dv6-1230us Black Screen after installing Windows 7...Please Help

Hi,
I recently installed Windows 7 and everything was working fine until my computer went into hibernation. Before this, I installed all the drivers and software from the HP website for my computer for Windows 32 bit setup. After my computer went into hibernation, my computer will not start up in normal mode; rather, it starts in safe mode only. When its starts in normal mode, the screen just turns black and nothing happens. The login screen comes up perfectly fine but after I login at startup, the screen just turns black. Please help, I don't know what else to do whether it is a driver or software issue from the software from the HP site.
Thanks,
Daniel

Hello people.
I buyed a new VGA, a Gigabyte GT740 2GB DDR5, before that i had an Asus GT630 2GB DDR3 and had no problems with it.
After mounting the new VGA i noticed the computer remains stuck at the initial splash screen with the HP logo.
Can't even get in to the bios, but if i remove the card and use it's igpu it's all ok.
I tried to update the bios to the latest version on the HP site (v.7.15) and nothing.
Tried to install with Windows 8.1, and with windows 7, nothing.
I tried all things i found on the net of people with the same issue, nothing again.
If i am fast enough and i press some keys it gets black screen and remains stuck anyway, do some beeps and then go in some kind of standby and if i keep pressed any key it does some cracklin noise.
Actually i can't afford a new motherboard so i wanted to find out with your help if i can find a solution to the problem, cause it's really frustrating and i spent many time trying to figure it out.
Sorry for my bad english!
Hope someone can help me
Cheers

[SOLVED]black screen after installing nvidia driver from official repo

Hi!
I have just made a clean install this afternoon and I really can not get the drivers from nvidia in the official rep to work. After booting it just gives me blackscreen.
What I have tried:
1. Blacklisted nouveau.
2. Doublechecked mkinitcpio.conf for nouveao under "MODULES" section.
3. Rebuilt initramfs by doing
mkinitcpio -p linux
4. i tried with a "nomodeset" by entering it in grub.
5. Last I tried to remove nouveau by doing
pacman -Ss nouevau
pacman -R mesa
pacman -Rc mesa (here I double checked the packages and nothing really vital for a full boot of a non-graphical interface (TTY1) is gone)
After Pressing enter from grub I can not see anythin, except from some text that flashes by, Something about checking /dev/sda6 for any errors... Except from that, nothing. Just a black screen.
I am writing this from my phone right now, please understand if I am doing any spelling errors (too lazy to chroot ehen in my bed and PC turned off for the night )

So you have one of those dual GPU machines? Then you need to read the Bumblebee or Optimus pages on the wiki.
And mentioning that in your intial post would have helped: See How To Ask Questions The Smart Way.
I never really tried the intel gpu, nor did I knew that my mb had that compability to actually run with that, since I can not even change to only use the display connection from my cpu :0
Besides, I never really will use the built-in gpu on my proc unless my graphics card crashes, and if that happens, I can just create a chroot and read-on about bumblebee and such
I am right now writing this from my Desktop
I have some minor issues with my KDE environment, the text being so small I can barely read it inside of applications.... except from that I have used "Settings" to change it inside the KDE environment :b
So I can live with it, unless it happens inside games aswell
Anyway, I just did not knew about it, otherwise I would have read 'bout it and tried to fix it before i came here
I know how it is when ya dont get enough info about a problem like "This program won't work, why?" (I am the PC wizard amongst my friends, so I know ya should try everything, use google, and most of all, do not panic, it can and will be fixed :3
But ty anyway for the suggestion Jason, appreciate it!
will mark this thread as solved now

HT1492 windows 7 boot camp black screen after install

Hi,
I have installed bootcamp on a 2010 white macbook with os 10.7
Windows 7 was install all the updates for apple and windows where completed. Everything was looking good and running great. This is my work computer and it has run boot camp previously on another macbook with the same specs.
When I restarted the computer to comfirm that all was good with both partitions the mac is running great, but the windows just locks on the black screen, no cursor, no windows starting.
I tried to start with the install disk in but after the black and white instruction screen the computer went back to the black screen.
I deleted the windows partition and tried to re-install but just got the black screen straight away and it will not even load.
When i did this I noticed that Parallels had been install on the computer I tried to start it and the windows 7 is asking for the install disk to be inserted and restarted to fix problems. I insert the disk and tried to restart but nothing happened again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. As i need to do school reports over the next week!
Thanks LC

Did you create a snapshot of Windows in Parallels to fall back onto if it won't work?
It sounds like to me you didn't pass validation, did you ignore those warning bubbles in the bottom corner?
Take the machine to a local PC/Mac geek and have them find the problem, it's too involved to go into here.

Hi !
I'm a french (Sorry for my English) and new on ArchLinux.
I have a problem with my laptop, he have 2 graphics cards, the first one is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD4200 series and the second it's an ATI Radeon HD 5650.
The problem is when I want to use the second card, I have a black screen when I start X. It's the same problem with ATI driver and xf86-video-ati driver even if my card is detected with "lspci" and by "aticonfig --list-adapters" with catalyst driver.
If you need, this is my Xorg log :
Xorg.log with catalyst
Xorg.log with free driver
And if you want my xorg.conf , very basic.
Thanks for your help.

Hope this helps.

Black Screen after installing Windows 7

Ive had this problem in the past and im aware that you need to install the correct display / bluetooth drivers for windows 7 for the iMac 27" 2.8Ghz i7 4GB ddr3
i have Lion installed and up to date with Bootcamp Assistant 4.0.1
i wanted a fresh windows 7 install and didnt think that i would need to mess around with downloading drivers etc. WHY with the release of Lion and the updated version of Bootcamp Assistant (and it downloads 'windows support software' prior to install) do i get the black screen!!
THIS IS SO ANNOYING as i live in a poor broadband area (2mb max) and each time i install to get this working it take AGES to download 'WINDOWS SUPPORT SOFTWARE' which doesnt address the issue
c'mon Apple your better than this!!

Black screen after installing Boot camp Win7 on iMac 27 late 2009

I've run out of ideas as to how to fix this problem. I have a late 2009 iMac quad i5, Mountain Lion, 12GB RAM, 1TB HD (recently exchanged under extended warranty).
I stopped counting how many times I have tried to get this up and running but I followed a whole bunch of 'how to's' on the net, including the official Appple guide, but I always end up with a black screen. I insytalled it from scratch using both, Apple drivers on CD and SD card and I can confirn that they installed correctly during my last try. That time I first installed Win Vista, then upgraded to Win 7. I took out the install DVD after first restart and left the SD card in its slot (correctly named, as suggested by Apple). the installation finished, the screen went dark for about 5 min, then the computer rebooted, the screen went dark again for another few min and after that the vomputer restarted again but this time all stayed dark and nothing happened for the better part of an hour.
I also restarted from the Win install disk and tried to remove the ATI drivers using command lines, as suggested in one post.
I need to run Win in Bootcamp because some application I use are very demanding so I need Win to run natively. In an earlier attempt I managed to boot Win7 from the Bootcamp partition in Parallels and I installed the Apple Drivers in that environment but it still resulted in a black screen. I also tried to remove the ATI drivers from Drivers directory manually in MacOS mode but the System wouldn't let me edit the Syustem folder at all, not even in Root user mode.
I understand that I'm not the only one with problem and I feel for you, but please refrain from "me too" posts becuase it doesn't really solve my problem. Thank you.

I presume that you've followed the instructions for sideloading the iMac Windows drivers into your install via USB stick? (wasn't aware the EFI recognized the SD slot as storage on boot. Now i know)
I always found more success in just slipstreaming the drivers and install.xml file onto a custom Win7 DVD rather than the USB approach when trying with my Late 2009 27" iMac. The Win7 installer needs that enclosed .xml file in the driver package to tell it where to find the drivers so that they be loaded when the Win7 image extracts itself.
If you're using mountain lion, then you should be receiving the proper Win7 driver set. If you wanted to create a custom image, then you can use an ISO file, the driver package and disk utility to make something you can use. Either that or you learn what edits your install.xml file needs to point the installer properly and check it manually.
I don't know what links you have so i'll just include everything:
Installing boot camp on a Late 2009 iMac:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
Direct link to Late 2009 iMac-specific Windows drivers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL995
I'd try a USB stick and the iMac-specific driver set. It should steer your insolent windows installer correctly.
Hope this helps.

Mid-2010 Mac Mini - black screen after installing boot camp drivers

I successfully installed Windows XP Service Pack 2 on my new Mac Mini. The display worked without issue in XP at this point.
After doing this, I proceeded to install the boot camp drivers. They installed and automatically rebooted the machine.
After reboot, Windows XP no longer has a functioning display. The display is a black screen and eventually the monitor shuts off.
Things I've tried:
- Reset PRAM
- Reset SMC
- Tried both Mini DisplayPort and HDMI connections to connect to the HDMI port on the monitor
- Booting into Safe Mode. Holding down F8 successfully brought up the Safe Mode options, but again the display was blank after choosing the Safe Mode option and attempting to load Windows.
Message was edited by: mullingitover

Update: Other stuff I've now tried--
- Swapping out RAM modules. I've tried it with the stock 2GB sticks in place, also with a single 4GB stick. Same result.
Other interesting/troubling problems:
- Unable to boot into Safe Mode with command line. The text-only interface with safe mode options that is reached by pressing F8 during windows startup is displayed. However, no matter which option I choose, the result is a dead display.
- Unable to boot with Windows XP install CD (?!). After choosing the CD at the boot selection screen, the display blanks and never wakes up.

I get a black screen after installing the bootcamp drivers on my newly created windows partition?

I am attempting to install windows 7 on my mid 2007 core 2 extreme iMac. I open bootcamp and do all of the steps except the usb flash drive drivers from apple because the server always fails to load. After restarting, I install windows 7 to the bootcamp partition, and the screen goes black during the "Completing Installation." I wait about an hour before shutting down and rebooting into my Mac partition. I use paragon ntfs for mac and go to the drivers folder and delete the atikmdag.sys file and restart. Booting into the windows partition, I get the error that says "Windows installation has failed because the system unexpectedly restarted. Click ok to restart and redo installation" or something along those lines. Instead of pressing ok, I press shift+f10 and open regedit. After opening regedit, I go into some registry file for the setup (I don't remember where this is located, although I can find it if needed), and I change a value from 3 to 1. After doing this and restarting, It boots regularly with a super low res screen but it boots without problem. I go to the apple website and download the appropriate bootcamp support software and install on my windows partition. After restarting, the screen is black again. I assume this is another video driver problem again because the black screen seems to always be video driver problems; however, its odd that the bootcamp support software would give me an incorrect video driver as it is directly from apple. Would this be the problem or does anyone know a fix? Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Adam

If you bought your RAM at a place that also sells PC RAM you may have gotten mislabelled RAM. PCs can handle different RAM speeds so they’ll often label higher speed RAM as a lower speed rather than make two different speeds of RAM. But Macs are much more picky. They require a RAM stick to be exactly 667mhz not 675mhz or 800mhz. The way to tell is to put one of your old RAM sticks in and it will force the new RAM to run at the correct speed.
This is from one review of PNY RAM:
"These modules are actually 800Mhz. PNY no longer makes or sells 667Mhz modules. Not all computers that require 667Mhz are compatible with 2 800Mhz modules. They refuse to down clock properly. This is especially true with a number of Core 2 Duo MacBooks. Spoke to PNY support, they flat out told me that yes, they sell 800Mhz modules in 667Mhz packaging. If you RMA a module that is 667Mhz (or supposed to be 667Mhz) they will replace it with an 800Mhz module as they no longer have any 667Mhz SODIMMs, not even for RMA replacement!"
These are good online stores for Mac compatible RAM
OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/ - They offer Mac tested RAM at very good prices.
Crucial Memory http://www.crucial.com/ - good place to buy RAM from all over the world. They also have an excellent memory selector that allows you to choose memory based on your computer's model
Data Memory Systems http://www.datamemorysystems.com/apple-memory.asp - another good, cheap place to buying RAM if you live in the U.S.
