MBA 2012 Windows 8.1 Intel HD4000 - Black Screen after driver install.

Hi to all. I'm tried to install Windows 8.1 to my macbook air 13 2012. Everytime when I try to install drivers for HD4000 screen turns black, and stops responding. I'm tried different drivers - from bootcamp, from intel.com, from lenovo, from windows update, but all of them makes screen black, also I'm tried different version, but it still don't work.
Anybody have solution or some ideas? Thanks.
p.s. Sorry for my bad English.

Probabily the best solution but I installed this OS-crap 2 times already! And I think I am not supposed to solve HP/MS problems since I paid for this.

  • 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.
    Thanks

    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.

  • [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.

  • Black screnn after driver install on 4650

    Yesterday I have bought an MSI 4650 VGA card. When I tried to install the newest ATI catalyst (from ATI website) the Win XP crashed and rebooted. I succesfully installed the driver from the CD. However the screen goes black in the Windows (BIOS, Win XP logo fine). My PC: 5600+ X2 CPU, 680G MB with 1200 IGP, 2G DDR2.
    I changed the first VGA card to PCIe in the BIOS.

  • Boot Camp Windows 7 Black Screen After Graphic Driver Installation

    Hi,
    I have MacBook air (2012 model i think). I tried to install windows 7 64 bit using bootcamp. On the first windows boot and before installing boot camp drivers windows was fine. After installing bootcamp drivers and windows restart the windows came up to a black screen and stuck forever. When I uninstall graphic driver (intel HD 4000), windows is good again. Tried to reinstall different graphic drivers versions - didn't work. searched internet everywhere and didn't find any solution.
    please help!

    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!

  • Black Screen After Windows 8 64-bit Upgrade (Clean Install) on TouchSmart IQ508A (IQ500 series)

    Hi there,
    Just installed Windows 8 and am getting a black screen after booting up like many others. I currently have disabled the graphics driver and this has solved the black screen issue but I can no longer use my web cam for Skype (although web cam works for W8 Camera App oddly).
    To date I have tried the following:
    Loading up the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website
    Attempting to use the drivers for Windows 7 both in compatability mode and normally. I unzipped SP44488 to get this working
    I know many others are having this problem so I really would  like someone from HP to respond and state whether a Windows 8 display driver for the Nvidia GE Force 9300M GS is being developed.
    I ran the compatability wizard prior to the clean install and it came up with no issues so I am very disappointed I am having these problems.
    I've found out that HP have a customised version of the above card so that explains why the Nvidia drivers dont work so I believe HP is therefore obligated to provide a driver.
    If anyone else is having similar issues please respond as this will hopefully lead to more action.
    cheers
    Steve

    I'm in the same boat. On my IQ804, the Nvidia GE Force 9300M GS card crashes when I use NVidia's latest Windows 8 driver and Microsoft's LIVE UPDATE drivers.  I have to resort to the Standard VGA driver in order for the pc not to crash into a black screen.
    I read on another forum you can try installing a July 2012 version of the driver from NVidia and that should solve the problem.  I tried it once. Using the July 2012 version, the screen would stay on longer, but eventually it crashes into a black screen...but definitely more usable than the latest from NVidia and Microsoft.
    I too have heard that HP used a customized version of the graphics card and that's why neither HP nor NVidia's drivers work.
    I also tried installing the Nvidia GE Force 9300M GS drivers for Windows 7 that I downloaded from the HP website.  It didn't work either.  It actually failed to install altogether, saying my system is incompatible.
    As is, the pc works fine.  But videos and games that require motion is noticably choppy.
    Any help from HP??

  • GTX670 - Signal lost/black screen after windows loading icon

    Hello,
    I hope I am posting this in the correct forum area.  If not I do apologize.
    Here are my specs:
    Board: MSI Z97-G45 Gaming
    Bios: ?? whatever pre-installed on mobo
    VGA:   MSI GTX670 OC
    PSU:   Corsair HX750 750W
    Intel Core i7-4790K
    MEM: 12 GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 2x 4GB, 2x 2GB sticks
    HDD: SSD Kingston 120 GB (Win7), HDD 1 TB WD 7200 RPM (Win7), HDD 1.5 TB WD 7200 RPM (storage)
    COOLER: Corsair Hydro Series H60 Water Cooler
    OC: no overclocking done by me..default settings
    OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
    So to keep this as direct and as short as humanly possible here is my situation.
    Had a gtx670 card that I had to send back to MSI under RMA.  They sent me what looks like a new gtx670 card (no dust) that I received yesterday (4 Aug).  Last night I removed temporary old card (9800gt) and plugged in new 670gtx.  Things seemed to be ok, reinstalled driver after card was recognized.  Played one round of Battlefield 4 for testing purposes and all seemed good.
    Upon exiting the game things went south in a hurry.  Moving the mouse cursor around was extremely slow and choppy.  Mouse clicks were not recognized.  I could not bring up ctrl-alt-del to get to task manager.  At this point the cursor turned to spinning circle as if things were happening.  However, after 5+ minutes of nothing changing I did a hard boot.
    Restarted and after the windows loading screen the signal appeared to be lost to the monitor and I was left with black screen.  This was with the SSD.  I then attempted to load into the HDD windows OS that I hadn't logged into yet with this card and was greeted with the same issue.
    I can load into Safe Mode with no issues.  In safe mode I removed all nvidia drivers and was then able to load into windows normally using basic windows vga drivers.  The moment I load the Nvidia drivers and restart the computer I then have the issue again.  This happens with both drives.
    I have reset the video card in the PCI-Ex16 slot and still received the problem.  I have tried a different PCI-Ex16 slot and still had the issue.  I put the old 9800gt card back in and windows loaded perfectly and without issues on both drives.  I put the 670gt in and try to load into normal windows and I lose signal and get black screen after the windows loading screen.
    I'm at a loss at the moment.  I think it's the drivers, but could it be the card?
    Doing some research I've come across some people saying there may be issues with the nvidia HD audio drivers that are installed with the video drivers.  Could it be as simple as uninstalling or unchecking that particular driver?

    Flashed the BIOS last night to the latest version and attempted to launch windows with the GTX670 card.  I still experienced the same issue where as soon as windows finishes it's loading animation (with Nvidia drivers) and it goes to the login screen, the monitors cut out.
    At this point I feel like it has to be the card.  The moment I install the video drivers and restart, I have the problem of losing the signal/black screen.
    What I have done:
    1) Completely wiped any/all video related drivers from the computer and started from scratch. No success.
    2) Ran Memtestx86 to see if it's a problem with my memory sticks. No problems found.
    3) Put the card in a different PCI-Ex16 slot to see if there was a problem with the slot. No success.
    4) Flash updated the BIOS on the motherboard to the latest version. No success.
    I have a dual boot computer with Windows 7 64-bit installed on an SSD and a HDD.  The problem happens on both drives.  Yet, the moment I install my old 9800GT the problem disappears and I can login to Windows just fine.
    I will be sending the card back today on another RMA.

  • Again getting black screen after Exiting Safe Mode in Windows 8 as suggested by hp

    Hi there ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! 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!

  • Black screen after windows auto update

    New laptop in use for 3 weeks.  After Windows auto update restart I get to splash screen and am able to enter Windows password to log onto desktop.  After successfully entering password I am not able to view my desktop; I get the black screen with cursor function; cursor disappears when moved within an inch of left or right of screen (seems to go behind something).  I believe I am at the desktop but just not able to view it, because I receive app popups on the black screen (need to update McAfee, etc).
    In safe mode I restored to pre auto update date; manually installed all Windows updates;  worked fine until NEXT auto update, same problem.
    Graphics Card:  Stock Intel HD Graphics
    Monitor:  Generic PnP
    Why would it be fine with the manual update and not after auto update?
    I do not have an external monitor to attach this laptop for diagnosis.  I have run windows partition checks and hard drive partition checks with no issues to resolve.
    I did get an error message once when running a diagnosis (can't remember which) : Windows Update Error 0x80070490
    No real luck finding anyway for me (the average Joe) to resolve this issue.
    If this is a harddrive issue I don't want to keep pussyfooting around while my warranty window shrinks. 
    I have downloaded driver updates from HP, but cannot get the Synaptics Touchpad driver to download.  I don't think this is my issue though.
    I am going to manually update all my drivers then manually update Windows.  We will see what happens on the next auto update.
    Please advise if this is an issue I need to just give up on and return this laptop for replacement.  It seems like this is not a completely unheard of issue, but I'm shocked at what we are asked to do to attempt to resolve it.  Out of my depth.

    Hi @Justanothermom 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are having troubles with a black screen after an update. I am happy to help you with this.
    Firstly, there is nothing wrong with modifiying your update settings. I was going to suggest it myself as I read through your post, and then saw you ask the question. Sometimes updates can have unintended results by the creator. With all the different combinations of  hardware, and the fact that updates come from different sources, it is one of those things that is hard to completely control.
    Please see the following for how to make adjustments to your update settings.
    Turn automatic updating on or off - windows.microsoft.com 
    Or if you know which update seems to be causing the issue you can take a look at this page:
    win 8.1 August 12 updates - black screen after 2nd reboot - answers.microsoft.com
    Let me know if this helps at all.

  • 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.

  • Windows 8.1 black screen after upgrading and no media

    Hi everyone,
    I just bought a second hand S230u i7 and right after I updated it to Windows 8 I got nothing but a black screen and the mouse cursor.
    I've tried most of the recovery options and they all ask me for a recovery media which I dont have since I didnt have the opportunity to create once I received it (it started to install Windows 8.1 right after I turned it on).
    So right now I have no way to use the laptop because of this update.
    Does anyone know how can I get it to work again?
    Thank you
    Nuno

  • Windows 7 shows black screen after running in bootcamp, iMac early 2008

    Help! I installed Windows 7 on my early iMac 2008 using Bootcamp, with all the proper updates etc.
    Now it shows a black screen (hard drive still running) after 10 or so minutes of running applications such as Firefox, Mail. Does not seem to happen when there is no activity - screensaver can run for over an hour with no black screen.
    All i can do is emergency reboot, only for it to happen again.
    Any ideas?

    That happened to me and I had to the my Mac to the Apple Store. It took the tech more than two hours to do the install using a thumb drive (which I had to buy) to download the workaround. I don't have the details, but he found the workaround online by searching Bootcamp and black screen. If you have access to an Apple Store and Genius Bar try that.
