MOVED: GD65: black screen after 4.4ghz with i5 2500k

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=145776.0

I would start with updating your BIOS to the latest BETA BIOS Version (v1.8b11) which can be found here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=144655.msg1081923#msg1081923
Set all clock settings back to default before attempting a BIOS Update. >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Then retest with the latest version.

The strange thing is that it don't go in BSOD, but the screen stays black or windows crashes a few seconds after the start of the boot process. They said me on an Italian forum (I'm Italian) which is strange, with that vcore windows should start or at least should give me BSOD, no black screen.
Sorry, but that is basically nonsense. When the overclock settings are unstable, all kind of things can potentially happen: BSODs, freezes, black screen, reboots etc. There is no rule that when a certain VCore is applied the only "right" response would be a BSOD.

Hi, I have a problem with my MSI P67A GD65. My cpu is an i5 2500k. I tried to overclock it but if I go over 4.4ghz, despite very high vcore (1.39) does not start windows. The strange thing is that it don't go in BSOD, but the screen stays black or windows crashes a few seconds after the start of the boot process. They said me on an Italian forum (I'm Italian) which is strange, with that vcore windows should start or at least should give me BSOD, no black screen. Can you help me? Thanyou very much

Black Screen after log in with Mountain Lion

For 6 times, in 8 attempts, my retina macbook pro fails to boot up. All goes black after I enter my user password and I have to press the power bottom for 3 sec to restart. It sounds like a system error, and for sure didn't happen before I installed mountain lion, should I attempt to do a fresh install? Or run any tests?
Any advice appreciated.

Hey guys...
Just posted this potential solution over in the forum Clinton mentioned. Not sure if it's a proper fix, but it seemed to work for me.
Cheers...
Had my first experience with this just now. Shut down the MBPr for it's longest off time since getting it last week (about 6 hrs) and logged in to the BSOD.
My go-to solution on any other MacBook has always been the PRAM reset.
Restart your machine. Hold down CMD+OPT+P+R before the gray screen shows up (harder now than on the older, slower machines). Keep holding it down until the startup sound plays 2 or 3 times. Then release the keys and let it boot up normally.
No idea why this works. Don't have any clue what PRAM even is or what it would have to do with all this - but it worked for me. At least this time. Maybe it won't the next!
Hope it helps you all...

M5400 - Black screen after updating BIOS

As the title says, I've got this unwanted black screen after updating BIOS with update utility from here http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds037429
What I've tried :
- power / battery out, pressing power button several times for short / long and longer time
- BIOS battery out for about half an hour
- wincrisis with USB bootable stick and BIOS extracted from BIOS update utility from support.lenovo
- different combinations of keys such as : FN + B / F / R +/- win key
What should I do next except finding a hammer ?

Hey,
I am having the same problem, I was updating my bios.. followed all directions which is necessary to update them.
And then when it was almost ready it said "Bios update is not responding" so I waited... and waited because I did not want to abort it but then Vista aborted it for me.
Well at first it did not seem to be a problem but then I noticed that I could not click anything (was still in windows @ that time did not reboot yet) then I wanted to reboot but nothing worked.. Pressing off button for a time to shut down did not work.. So eventually power was out. And it shut down.
So I hooked it up again but nothing happened. Pressing the "on" button made it start.. The DVD-drive loaded for a second but... that is it just a black screen :S
Going to bring it back to the shop tomorrow.

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 login while on battery with graphics switching enabled

Getting a black screen after entering my password while logging into my account while on battery with graphics switching enabled. Everything is up and running, I just can't see it.
I can log into the guest account on battery
I can log into my account while plugged into power
I can log into my account on battery if graphics switching is disabled
I believe something that is starting up in my account is causing the system to switch from integrated to discrete graphics on login, and that switch isn't working correctly on battery power.
As a work around for now, I can run with graphics switching disabled, but I'd like to solve this so I get longer battery life.
MacBook Pro Retina 15"
Mountain Lion
All updates applied

I had the same issue and managed to reslove it.
Shut down your machine.
Power it back on while holding the 'shift' key (left or right, doesn't matter)
You will see a greay progress bar go across the screen while you boot in to 'safe boot'
Once booted, login, and go to Energy Saver and turn on 'Automatic Graphics Switching'.
Reboot back in to normal mode, and you should be able to log back in and see again.
I did this without being plugged into AC power.
Hope it helps!
Cheers!

Sun Rays with VDI 3.1 - Black screen after periods of inactivity

Running VDI 3.1 with bundled versions of SRSS on three servers in a cluster running Solaris 10 with VSphere as a desktop provider - also using meta-kiosk with all smartcards configured to run "VDA" script when inserted, DTUs require registered cards.
Bit of a strange issue that is unfortunately not always reproducible:
After what seems a random period after having removed a smartcard from a DTU (if still logged into a Windows session, or after disconnecting it) sometimes as short as 20mins, sometimes only after overnight, upon reinserting the card, the VDI login screen does not always appear immediately (as should happen), but instead a black screen with a moveable mouse pointer is shown. This persists for almost exactly 2 minutes whenever it happens, then the VDI screen appears. If you manually kill the session from the admin web-interface and power-cycle the Sun Ray, it will pop up immediately as expected.
At times, the VDI screen does simply appear immediately as expected, at others this 2-minute black screen first...
You can often force the behaviour on a working VDI login screen by choosing "More options - Quit" - this will often trigger the black screen/2 minute delay. At other times quitting in this manner does not reproduce the error and the VDI login screen appears immediately.
I've researched this for a couple of weeks, and a lot of bugs mentioning "black screens" pointed towards problems with uttsc-bin - I've already applied the patch here: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-143215-03-1 to no avail.
I assume that it possibly is nothing to do with the Windows connector, since it's really the VDI login screen that is not appearing in a timely manner and Windows logins/sessions always start/resume immediately after logging in from the VDI screen.
Can anyone offer any help?

Never figured out what was causing this, but an upgrade to VDI 3.2 has fixed it (for now at least!)

Black Screen after computer boots to Win XP With NX6600 VTD 256

My son recently purchased a new computer and gave his old one to me to salvage what I wanted.Since he just a few months ago purchased my NX6600 VTD 256 from me I naturally salvaged that first. I tried to install the NX6600 in my other son's computer without success. First the particulars:
MSI 845 Pro2 Mobo, 512 mb 133 Mhz Ram, 1.7 Ghz Intel CPU, Aopen AO350 12A PNF power supply, 350 watts with 18 amps on the 12 volt rail.
I did a fresh install of winXP on a freshly formatted HDD. Installed service pack 2, the latest intel drivers, and 5 different versions of the driver packages including ver 77.77 all with the same results.
After the computer boots I am intermittantly faced with a black screen after the WinXP logo disappears. This sometimes happens 3 times in a row before I get a working screen. After a good boot the NX6600 benchmarks good with very good marks!
I am at this point strongly suspecting the power supply is not up to the task, even though the specs for the NX6600 recommend a 350 watt power supply. Before I start removing all the hardware from the computer except for the NX 6600 to see if I have a hardware conflict, I doubt this because with the NX6600 installed without drivers I get a good boot every time.
I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks for the reply boss killer.
I tried what you suggested with a CRS power supply 300 watts with 15 amps on the 12 volt rail.
with the exact same results.
I then put the crs powersupply back into #1 son's old case reinstalled the nx6600 and gave it a go
Particulars for the old computer ECS K7VTA3 ver. 1 Mobo with 512 Mb DDR, nx6600VTD256 vid card and the CRS Power supply 300 watts with 15 amps on the 12 volt rail , and win XP pro service pack 2.
Funny the card works great without any problems with this setup! And the powersupply is 50 watts less and only 15 amps as compared to the other with 18!
I then pulled all the hardware out of #2's computer and tried it with only the memory, cpu, and NX6600 connected.
I had to boot 5 times before I had a working screen.
Now I'm thinking that there is somthing amiss with the NX6600 and the MSI 845 Pro2 ???
I'm thinking that I would be better off installing the K7VTA3 in #2 son's computer with the NX6600, since this works fine. When I did a benchmark with this setup it outperformed the *45 Pro 2 NX6600 combination By 300 points 2600 as compared to 2300 aqua mark points.
Isn't this fun?

Black Screen after logging in locally to Windows 7 that previously had an open RDP session.

Here is what happens. I leave my home computer on (running Windows 7 Ultimate) and sometimes I will remote to it from another location (work, friends house, or wherever). When I return home, I will go to login, the screen then goes blank (no mouse cursor
or anything). I have to do a cold boot to get back into Windows. This only happens if I ever RDP into it sometimes during the day. It seems random. I've tried logging off the RDP session, just closing it without logging off, nothing seems to be the answer
in that regard. It seems very random at times. I'll go a week and I can come home and it will login fine with no problems. Then the next week it starts giving me the black screen after I come home and login locally. I've seen several black screen issues here,
but usually they are getting it before logon. Anyone have a clue what might be causing this?

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.

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.

[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.

[Solved]Black screen after "waiting for udev uevents to be processed"

Hello friends,
Starting from late Dec., my laptop goes black screen after "waiting for udev uevents to be processed", after updating kernel to 2.26.32.*. The strange thing is that even the screen is black, the keyboard is working. For example, I can turn on/off the status lights of capslock and others. I guess something might be wrong with udev uevents configuration with regard to the latest kernel. I've noticed that in the new kernel, there are two drivers for intel integrated graphics. My laptop has a 855G, which is supposed to be functional by both drivers, at least according to the kernel description. Maybe because the udev is configured to use the second driver (for newer graphic chips), rather than the first driver, which caused the problem?
Regards,
Wen

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??

WINDOWS 8 BLACK SCREEN AFTER LOGIN PROBLEM

my desktop is hp pavilion a5055d my os is windows 8 i dont know what the problem
i have a ati radeon xpress 1100 for videocard ..
I tried to restart many times.

Hi,
Did this issue occur before?
Try to logon with Safe Mode to see if the same issue occurs.
Furthermore, you can try to update BIOS for your machine?
You can refer these article to update BIOS if your machine cannot boot:
