MSI GX660R Black screen

Hi
When I start up my laptop I get a black screen instead of the login screen.
I don't know what I did wrong, but what can I do to fix this?`
I don't want to lose any of my files because i've got some important files on it.
Is it posible to go back to a system restore point without starting op this MSI?
Thnx.

MSI CR640 Black Screen of Death in Windows 8.1

I get a black screen after the Windows logo every time I boot up my MSI CR640. Is there a fix for this?

No and never will be as you already read in the other thread about the old issue...

As CR640 is finally considered not being eligible for Windows 8 MSI won't work on a new version to fix that as far as we know.

MSI GX623 black screen, Afterburner and that old story

Hello. So maybe someone will know the cure for my problem. I have an MSI GX623 gaming laptop, i have it for like 3 years, i dont remember. So when i bought it I started playing games with it (because it's a GAMING laptop :D). After some time I've started to have black screen/crash problems. So because I had warranty, I gave the laptop for repairs. As I remember, they've changed GPU and cooling system. I took it back from them, hoped that the problem was in the past, but that same day I played GTA 4 and there it is again. All this was like 2 years ago. Until this day I used MSI afterburner and it helped, but sometimes the problem used to show up again, so I used to leave pc on sleep mode and it helped. Right now, I'm using a cooling pad, the afterburner for some time, like half a year. It was like a month until yesterday it all started again. Everything was fine, i turned my laptop, open LoL to play, started the match and bammm, black screen. I thought, ok, not the first time, lets just restart the laptop, open afterburner and it will be ok. Not so fast, as much as I wanted it to be ok, all day I couldn't play anything, not nba 2k14 not lol (these are the 2 games I played for like half year). Well all day I had to watch Sopranos and Prison break, no lol or nba :/ I left it on sleep mode overnight and today it's good as new, played lol, nba, it's all cool, but after some time ( the laptop wasn't shuted down for no time), a short, like few hour brake without games, wanted to play lol and there it is again. I don't know what's wrong, the temperatures are fine, more like fine, yesterday i cleaned the inside of the laptop from dust. Everything is perfect, but it's still there. I've updated afterburner, but no help. Maybe there is some new solutions to this problem without afterburner? Thank you BTW, I use windows 7, but these days it's like xp, everyone uses them D: thx for the help )

Could be heat related. Do you know what temperature your CPU and GPU are running?
Just to be sure on the driver front, uninstall your current graphics card drivers, run >>Driver Sweeper<< to clear any driver traces, reboot and then install the ones from the MSI website: http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=nbdriver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1702

MSI GT683R Black screen, blinking cursor

Hello, I was poking around for a similar topic but couldn't find one, so here I am.
Mine is an MSI GT683 laptop; it’s about four months old and second hand. When I boot it up, I see the MSI screen, and then I see a black screen with a blinking underscore cursor.
I’m pretty sure this is my fault, because when it arrived I decided I wasn’t satisfied with how it was setup (plus it had lots of stuff left over from the previous owner) and I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 on it. It booted up great the last time I used it; I installed all the updates, installed all the drivers, restarted it a couple times, and it was working like a charm. I even put a couple games on it. Then I put it into hibernation and left it alone for a day, and now I have the blinking black screen cursor of evil.
This is what I’ve tried so far:
1) I can’t get into the BIOS. When I restart, it doesn’t say “Press such and such to get into the BIOS!”, and nothing I press works (I thought MSI used Del, but in a fit of maadfobdogbd I also tried lots of other keys.) For that matter, I also can’t get into safe mode.
2) As far as I know there’s nothing wrong with the keyboard. I can actually adjust screen brightness with it. There’s nothing connected to the computer.
3) The Windows OS CD doesn’t work. It seems to think about using it, and whirrs around with it for a bit, but I never get anywhere other than black screen, blinking cursor. I’ve tried both Windows 7 and Windows XP, but nope.
4) I think my Windows 7 version may be x86. However, since it was running smoothly enough, I don't really think it was an issue.
Sorry for the trouble; hope you can help!

Boot disks don't work, either. Actually, this thread here shows my exact problem, and the answer sounds pretty plausible, given how I put the laptop into hibernation. Unfortunately, that guy never got it fixed. :<
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=149961.0
I haven't gone so far as to take it apart yet. (I'm kinda leery of taking laptops apart. The last time I did it, I had to get stuff into this really awkward little space where I had no finger strength, and in the end I had to call a boy to snap the thing in for me. It was embarrassing.) I'm going to try swapping in another hard drive with Windows on it. I'll let you know how it goes.
EDIT: Alright! So it worked! Well, kinda. I got into the BIOS but it looks like my installation might be dead. I don't care a lot about the installation anyway, so while I'm going to try to fix it I may just reinstall everything... again.
I couldn’t get into the BIOS because it was apparently switched off for hibernation. What I did was that I dug up my giant box of computer parts and found an old hard drive that had Windows installed on it. I'm told that I should have swapped hard drives out (and I probably would have eventually), but just using a USB port worked for me. My laptop wouldn’t boot from a USB boot disk or from a CD, but it did find and boot from another hard drive, so I finally managed to shut it down properly.
I’m still getting black screen of blinking cursor evil, but this is progress. Still looking out for help.

MSI GT683 Black Screen and full fan speed at startup

Hello!
SO this morning i woke up and was about to start my lovely laptop.
I pressed the on button and the screen remained black and the fan sped up slowly and slowly, after 10 sec it was at full throttle!
Yesterday i got tired and put my laptop to "sleep mode" because I meant to use it later, but I fell asleep can something have happened by that?
I have had this laptop for 3 months, never had a single problem. But now this :(
And a really need my laptop for school now!
When i bought it one 2GB ram module was changed to a 4BG so the total would be 8GB, and a 60GB SSD was installed on the second HDD slot.(Boots on 22 sec )
I have played a few hours of COD MW3 but i have a coolermaster laptop cooling pad with 2 fans, so the laptop did not get so hot when i played.
So please anyone help?
(I´ve tried booting with only one ram installed and tried my ssd in my other laptop, both are fine.)

I know this is an old topic but I just had the same issue and wanted to post my results in case anyone else was having this issue and stumbles on this thread. I was playing a game on my laptop, temperatures were well within the normal range, and suddenly the computer made a sort of "zap" noise and the screen went black. The computer also fell deathly silent but the power light (the shield) was still on. No indicator lights on the mouse pad and the orange lights around the screen had gone out. I had no choice but to do a hard shutdown. When I turned it back on, the screen remained black, the power light remained lit, but no other lights on the computer. The fan was on ultra speed in a way that I have never heard my fan run. I smelled the exhaust to see if I smelled burning but there wasn't any sign of that. Anyway, I let the computer rest, tried again the next day with the same result. I contacted my warranty company, started a claim, and waited for them to send me the box so I could ship my laptop to them. In the meantime, determined as I am , I tried the laptop several more times in the next few days just to see if I would have any luck. Sometimes the fan would come on and sometimes the laptop would be ghostly quiet but otherwise everything else was the same. Same blackness, same nothingness. I immediately assumed this was a major malfunction, most likely the motherboard. When the warranty company took the information for the claim, they agreed that it sounded like the motherboard or possibly the hard drive.
Three weeks later, my laptop is on its way back to me. I received word from the warranty company that the issue was the graphics card. This completely blew my mind as I wouldn't expect the graphics card to prevent the indicator lights from flashing, the soft touch keys at the top of the keyboard, the lights on the sides of the screen, etc. They are the experts however, right? They said the video card malfunctioned. They replaced the video card and now the laptop is in working order. They are sending it back to me now and I should hopefully receive it in the next couple of days.
Sorry for the looooooong response but I wanted to give as much info as possible because I couldn't really find anything when I was searching for this same issue. Hope it helps someone!

MSI Notebook GX640, black screen with games

I own for two years MSI Notebook G series GX640 (Intel Core i5-460M, Ati Mobility RadeonHD 5850, 4GB RAM, 500 GB HDD). Recently I had to send it to the manufacturer because of a audiocard malfunction. It was the last call to do it on the warranty. It ended around a week ago (2 years warranty). The service guy filled an information for me (standard procedure). It stated: repair the audioboard and new ventilation installed. It seems they run some tests and updated the BIOS. After that I had some time (around 2 weeks) of cool work on the machine. Until recently... Here is a description of the problem.
During more demanding programs (games mostly) the PC runes smoothly for some minutes (10, 15, 20 or so) and without warning goes black screen. Sometimes you can still hear the sound from the game other times no. Also if I unplug the power cable and plug it back it sometimes goes to a very uneasy state with stripes on the monitor.
I tried to fix this by updating the CCC from ATI, also updated the video card drivers, today flashed the BIOS using the MSIHQ USB Bootable Tool and BIOS Helper. I used the 1656_031 archive from MSI. Searched the forum and the web for info and help... but no luck. So I post here with hope for help.
I suspect this is not an issue of hardware. If I turn off the PC and start it again works fine, I was also able to upload 2GB of video files to YouTube with no problems at all. As long as I run OS (Windows 7 64bit) or programs like text editors, browsers, video editors, audio editors, internet radio etc. It runes fine. But when I start games it just a no go. To give an example: Mass Effect 3, StarCraft II, Saint's Raw The Third, Borderlands.
My BIOS information; don't know if it will help:
BIOS version: E1656IMS.10E
BIOS build: 08/30/2010 15:58:14
EC version: 1656 EMS1 ver.4.08
EC build: 06/03/2010

Quote from: Fuzz Ball on 19-February-13, 10:53:50
I could assume (since you've started doing stuff to the bios) that you've done this already, but to make sure, have you checked the usage/temperature of your graphics card?
Actually I didn't do that... till now. For last 4 hours I have been running some games and programs to determine the usage and temperature on the graphics card. Here are the results:
Temperature in house was 24ᵒC.
While normal Windows 7 running temp. is around 50ᵒ to 54ᵒC
Watching video in 720p from hard drive temp. -> 55ᵒ to 56ᵒC
Games:
Book of Unwritten Tales (one game that is not going black screen on me), point and click adventure game -> 57ᵒC to 63ᵒC
Starcraft II -> 73ᵒC and black screen (5 to 7 minutes of play)
Mass Effect 3 -> 67ᵒC to 72ᵒC goes black screen
Borderlands -> 72ᵒC to 75ᵒC goes black screen
The Catalyst Control Center (CCC) from Ati I use is 13.1 the GPU is 625 MHz and the Memory of the GPU is 1000MHz. Fan goes around 30%.
Looks normal to me, no 90ᵒC.
Right after I end writing this post and publish it I will try to open the Notebook to at least try find any suspicious things inside. I will probably clean it, but there will be no real hardware intervention. I'm not that good with IT or electronics to try it by myself. So if any just cleaning from dust and a look inside.
P.S. There is one more test I might try tomorrow, run a game on a TV through HDMI to see if the problem will occur if it will that means it's not the display.
UPDATE:
Seems playing games in window mode might eliminate the problem. All above test's were done if full screen.

Black screen when MSI driver is installed (MSI R9 270X 2GB )

Bought new computer and everything worked fine until couple of days ago ..
can pull some info ..

AMD 8350FX 8-core
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2
MSI R9 270X 2GB GDDR5
8GB 1866MHz RAM

Everything worked fine even with the drivers that are there now but one day the screen started to fluttering and act strangely then windows crashes. I rebooted then when I want to log in or when the login page will show I only got black screen...
Reboot again ... go into " safe mode " ... screen works with standard VGA ... uninstall the drivers for the MSI card ( msi.com ) ... restart ... everything works .
However, it goes on the standard VGA but as soon as I install the drivers, I get the same problem ....
What has happened?
Got NO clue right now .. drivers worked before , I haven't updated them since I installed them (3weeks ago) I have not done anything that I can think of ..
Are grateful for answers!

I have the same problem. Updated driver to 13.11 beta was running my MSI 2GB r9 270x for 3 days got it on the 24th and today after a system reboot the windows screen appears to load then goes to black. I started safe mode, uninstalled the ati graphics drivers, rebooted and windows booted fine. Reinstalled the lastest 13.12 driver and rebooted to the black screen again.
Specs:
Board: P7P55D Asus
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M850 @ 850 W output SINGLE 12V channel at 66A
VCard: R9 270x MSI 2G
Proccessor: intel i5 750 @ 2.66 GHZ
Did not overclock the video card or touch the voltages, tried VBIOS updates to fixed the screen flicker and it worked find the flicker dissapeared after the this new black screen problem happened i reverted back to the stock VBIOS the card shipped with(saved it before i updated it) reverting to the stock VBIOS didnt fix the problem only removing the driver fixes the problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,

Black screen on MSI P43-C51, memory incompatible?

Hi!
I've recently bought a new computer. Everything seems to be in good order, except when I start it I get a black screen. Disks are spinning, I hear it boot up and everything, lights seems to be in the proper places, but the screen remains black.
Searching around, users with similar problems usually seems to have memory problems, therefore I'm suspecting that's my case too. I've triple-checked that they are properly inserted.
Specs:
PSU: 400W Corsair
GFX: Sapphire Radeon HD 5830 1GB DDR5
Motherboard: MSI P43-C51
Memory: 2x2GB Kingston 1066 MHz DDR3 CL7
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93 MHz
Is the memory incompatible as I suspect, or is there any other answer? Would be thankful if you could tell me. Thank you.

Quote
it's an Intel C2D with 2.93 GHz freq I think
What is the exact model name of that CPU?
Quote
Searching around, users with similar problems usually seems to have memory problems
Your problem could be caused by any (or several) of the following things:
- memory problem (test each stick individually in the first memory slot, test other memory modules)
- PSU problem (PSU defective or power connectors not hooked up properly (24 Pin ATX, 4 or 8 Pin +12V CPU, 6/8 Pin PCI-Express (video card))
- shorting issue (test the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface in barebone configuration)
- defective CPU
- defective video card
- defective motherboard (bent or broken CPU socket pins, defective sub-circuits, defective chipset components, defective voltage regulators etc.)
- CMOS mess (--> >>Clear CMOS Guide<< )

Black screen at boot MSI Z77A-G43 with HD7850

Hi,
I've tried everything You suggested in this topic. I've upgrade and downgrade bios (official 2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2,9 / beta 256, 281,296) few times but still is black screen at boot. Now i'm on the newest beta bios 296 and still same issue on Sapphire HD 7850 with my Z77a-G43 board. I know for sure that sapphire working well because I've checked on other mobo with even worst PSU (400W instead 550W Volcano). Before hd 7850 I had gtx460 and swith those few times and always gtx460 works fine, so I don't understand anything right now.
Tried different slots, also clear cmos.
Board: MSI Z77A-G43
Bios: Version 296
VGA: Sapphire HD7850 1GB
PSU: Modecom Volcano 550W
Intel Core i5-3570k
MEM: Kingston 4GB 1600MHz
HDD: 2xSSD
Without OC
OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
Can You help me somehow, maybe I did not check something else?

Quote from: The CPU Whisperer on 22-April-13, 16:06:05
Do you see the same problem on bios 2.90?
The Z77A-G43 seems the have difficulties accepting HD7xxx AMD VGA cards lately.
It seems that the problem is gone. I thought of it being an ATI driver issue ~ but not even the latest didn't fix it. But since I flashed to BIOS 2.9 I haven't encountered the problem anymore. So I believe something is fixed between 2.3 to 2.9.
However my problem was a bit different that the OP has.
Oh, and I said this on other thread so I say it here too: MSI and Asus 7xxx cards haven't faced the kind of issues Sapphires are having. I'm so glad to my choice... as I almost picked Sapphire but then read comments on Newegg which weren't in favor for Sapphire.

Msi R9 270X Hawk 2Gb Black Screen

It is unfortunate that this is a problem that repeat this often.
I bought the card in February 2014 and been running perfectly until a few days ago came the famous "black screens" to load the drivers, I've tried everything:
- Completely clean installation S.O. W7 x64 with Catalyst drivers v13-12 ---> ERROR
- Completely clean installation S.O. W8.1 x64 with Catalyst drivers v13-12 and the new bios Hybrid for W8 ---> ERROR
- Restore backups S.O. (W7 x64) where the card working properly ---> ERROR
- With the default drivers S.O. Catalyst drivers without the graphics card works perfectly but is useless for games.
I came to think that it is a hardware error and therefore RMA process.
This is the last step I can take before RMA, if no solution with a new vBios these
believe are the necessary data:
Number of card S/N: 602 - V303 - 11SB141008285

MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB - Black Screen When trying to load games

Ok so I've been trying to figure this out the past 2 weeks and cant figure out whats wrong.
Whenever I try and load a game more my screen goes black and I can hear sound but nothing is is being displayed. I cant task manager out or ALR-TAB out. It just sits there and I have to power down my computer manually.
I've re-installed the drivers and have tried a different power supply since those are the 2 things I thought it would be and nothing is working.
Any help would be very much appreciated

Uninstall current driver in safemode using >>Driver Fusion<<. After reboot install current MSI driver: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/nvidia_33165_v7864_vga.zip
Did it twice and it still gives me a black screen when going into a full screen on games.
