Nvidia drivers black screen blink

I use nouveau drivers because at first install, nvidia ones didn't allow X to start at all. They work fine, compiz included.
Now, I thought on giving nvidia ones a new oportunity, and they seemed to work fine, except for a weird black screen "blink" from time to time: when I log in, I see desktop background, then screen turns black for a second, then desktop and compiz load. When I load some web sites with flash in it, black screen for a second. It even happened once at nautilus open o_0
I am pretty sure I correctly configured xorg.conf, 10-monitor.conf and 20-nvidia.conf, is this a common issue or did I missed something?
BTW, video card is a Geforce 8400GS.

Maybe this is related.

N770 TF 2GD5/OC Gaming black screen blinking problem

Hello there,
i upgraded my PC 4 days ago with a MSI N770 TF 2GD5/OC Gaming graphic card. I installed the newest graphic drivers. Clean install and without nVidia Experience. My problem is black screen blinking when i am playing or watching. Screen turns to black for 1-5 seconds like monitor lost its signal. It happening when i click to fullscreen button. No matter if its in youtube or windows. It happening every time. It does the same when i am playing. Big lag and then black screen blinking for 10 sec. Sometimes more sometimes less than 10 sec. I used Google and i am not the only one, who have this problem. Some people says, that GPU BIOS flash helped but in MSI website is only one BIOS and i dont know if its newer than mine or not. S/N of my card is 602-V282-380B1404100829 (if it helps) and my current bios is here h t t p ://leteckaposta.cz/186979270 (just click on the GK104.rom in the middle). I think i tried almost everything. Registry clean, anti malware and spyware, drivers re-install, turn W Aero Off, UAC off and other worthless tips how to fix this issue. I monitored my PC with many temperature software and i am 100% sure, that overheating isnt the problem. So could you please check if the MSI Bios is newer than mine or tell me what to do to fix this irritating problem?
Thank you very much
PS: I am not a native speaker and english is my 3rd language tbh, so please excuse any grammar mistakes

you are using latest vbios version, test the card in another PC

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.

It's working for me, I'm on 340xx nvidia drivers and using sddm+plasma. I even have nouveau installed in parallel (blacklisted).
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I'm using the -ck variant of the kernel and the nvidia driver. libgl part is still the same though:

MBP Nvidia Bootcamp black screen XP install

I have encountered a problem I haven't been able to find mentioned anywhere on the web.
I have a Macbook Pro 3,1
15" LED backlit version
Geforce 8600M gfx card 256MB ram
2.4GHz intel
2GB ram
The problem I'm having is when installing xp (only for certain games and autocad) the screen is black.
the apple support website mentions this for late 2006 24" iMac's and offers a fix, but there is nothing for macbook Pro's
should it be safe to use the iMac MXM update on my MBP, or does anyone have any other suggestions?

Just out of interest... was the screen completely black? or was there a very nearly black cursor blinking in the top left corner? I came across that last night when installing Arch onto an AMD Athlon 64 and 7300GS combo... I was using the free driver, and swapped to the nvidia-173xx driver and running nvidia-xconfig worked where Xorg -configure hadn't. The free driver was complaining about a module having a lock on my graphics card, or something similar (yeah, nice and vague ).
Although, being a relative newbie to Arch I could have just messed something up along the way. Tonight's project is to decide on and install a widow manager, so my X experience is more featured than just popping up a VLC client so I can watch a movie... look for some moronic posts in the newbie corner tomorrow

Nvidia displaying black screen on boot

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I migrated to arch after 2 years on Ubuntu. I've wanted to move a long time ago but I moved now because I really needed the Nvidia driver to work (on Ubuntu it wasn't). I am doing research in my university which requires me to program in CUDA. I installed the nvidia and nvidia-utils packages successfully. I also ran nvidia-xconfig, installed CUDA and installed the samples that came with them. When I ran the `deviceQuery` that came with cuda to check the status of the drivers I used to get (on Ubuntu as well) that no devices exist. When I rebooted I saw a black screen. I switched to tty2 and killed spectrwm (my TWM) and ran `deviceQuery` and showed that I was indeed running a CUDA friendly GPU. So I'm really happy that CUDA finally worked.
There is something running in the background and there is a UI running but I can't see it. For example I went to a tty and ran vlc song.mp3 and heard the music.
However I would really love to have a UI instead of doing everything on a tty.
Some things I tried to do
Deleted the x config file or/and the 10-nvidia file and rebooting, but end up with an error: no screen detected (the reason I have the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf file)
I couldn't locate an error the X log

Looks like you have an Optimus setup. Have a look at this wiki entry - sounds like your issue.

Radeon HD 3870 + Catalyst 9.8 & fglrx drivers = Black Screen. (arch64)

I've installed Arch on my Alienware M17.
First off, ATI and RadeonHD drivers do work. I have KDE 4.3 installed, etc., etc.
I do know how bad ATI support is. I used to use Ubuntu 8.10, and upgrading to 9.04 had borked my video bad.
However, like the title says, installing the Catalyst drivers brings me to a black screen that requires a hard reset/poweroff.
I've been browsing forums and google for the past 12 hours trying to find a solution; here's what I have so far:

X.Org Server 1.6.3.901 (1.6.4 RC 1)
Catalyst 9.8 x86_64 (including catalyst-utils) from AUR (using yaourt -S)
Before installing fglrx, I had installed ati and radeonhd drivers, got the display working, uninstalled them (libgl and vesa as well), installed fglrx (all from a fresh Arch install), tweaked xorg.conf, added fglrx to Modules in rc.conf, and viewed the Xorg.0.log file with no "(EE)" lines.
I noticed that there are a lot of warnings regarding AIGLX, and installing catalyst from AUR displays a message (warning?) saying something like "ati-dri" was a dependancy and/or is missing.
modprobe -l | grep fglrx
has the result of: "video/fglrx"
I even installed the lib32-catalyst-utils libraries and that had no effect that I could see.
Please help. This is all that is stopping me from giving into Arch.
Thank you for your time.

Installing Win 7 via Bootcamp on 27' iMac 2010 gives BLACK screen, BLINKING cursor error (BSBCE)?

Hi All,
All coments appreciated regarding thiis issue.
I have a 2010 27' i7 2.93Ghz iMac with 8Gb ram, 2Tb Seagate, and 256 Samsung SSD.
I am running 10.6.8 with all updates on the 2Tb Seagate (has BC 3.04), and 10.7.1 on the Samsung (has BC 4.0).
I have tried over a dozen times to install Win 7 (both a 32 bit Professional edition and a 64 bit Ultimate edition) on BC partitions on both drives. These have been all on separate occasions of course.
All installs result in what appears to be a successful install, but when the machine reboots to launch Win 7 for the first time, I ALWAYS get a black screen with a blinking cursor error (BSBCE).
This is not the 2009 video card driver issue problem reported so widely and referred to in the Apple article TS3173. I had that model previously and the way around that was to connect a second monitor/LCD for the installation.
No this is a new and separate issue.
And I am no nubie. I have used IT for over 25 years and teach networking courses in the Win and Mac environments.
The problem appears to be in a corrupt boot loader install.
I have used both WIn 7 install disks to do a repair each time. The repair says it is successful but after rebooting all I get is the black screen and flashing cursor, with no keyboard response. I have used both Bluetooth keyboards and USB keyboards. Nothing seems to make a difference re getting WIn 7 to boot after the install on either drive.
I have also used the Bootrec commands in the command window. They all return a successful outcome but when rebooting I see the ever familar BSBCE.
Now,,,,,here is the real puzzle. I copied my previous Win 7 Ultimate install using Winclone before I sold my older 27' iMac.
If I restore that install to the 2010 iMac Win 7 boots fine!
So some error is happening on my current machine when the bootloader/bootmanager is being written to the BC partition.
The problem is there with the BC on both 10.6 and 10.7, and these are different versions of BC!
Now to further complicate the problem, I manage 12X 2011 21.5' iMacs in a lab at work. Win 7 Professional 32bit installed on these machines just as it should (same disks that produces the black screen flashing cursor).
I have read that some people thing it is a Boot Rom version issue, and there may be some substance to this as WIN 7 installs so easily on the 2011 iMacs in my lab.
I called Applecare about this and went through the procedures outlined above. The guy was very helpful and sympathetic but he had no answer to the problem. His suggestion was to pull the SSD out and do it again with only one drive. As the machine can ship from Apple with both of these drives I really do doubt that pulling the SSD would make a difference.
Mac OS 10.6 and 10.7 work fine, no problems on both drives, so I don't think it is a drive issue.
OK Mac gurus...over to you.

I have a bookmark for iMac w/ SSD and hard drive.
There is also the 'req'd reading' in http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
with one article on Black screen w/ iMac 2010.

Windows 7 partition won't boot, hangs on black screen / blinking cursor

Hi all,
I just installed windows 7 home premium x64 on a new 100gb partition I made first with bootcamp assistant and then simply with disk utility the second time. I can't get windows to load however, it just sits forever at the black screen with blinking cursor at top left.
I have tried the Bootrec.exe /Fixmbr
bootrec.exe /Fix boot
Bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
fix that is floating around to no avail. The rebuildbcd command yields 0 copies of windows installed but still ends successfully.
i have spent the majority of my day trying to get this to work and have no leads left anymore. Please help!

I HAVE SOLVED MY PROBLEM! Windows is running excellently on my Bootcamp partition.
Taking a few steps back: I used Bootcamp to remove the disk utility partition, then remade it also using boot camp assistant. Ran the windows install, and this time instead of hanging endlessly on black or going back to step 1 after restarting, the install went all the way. I had to restart once when the computer hung on "starting windows" but it got back on track right after this.
I think I must've fudged something with Disk utility before.
Thank you so much for your help!

Please help - black screen blinking cursor 24" imac and XP home sp2

Brand new 24" imac purchased yesterday from the apple store with a 4 gig ram upgrade (i.e. all the newest stuff/versions). All updates installed & current.
Brand new (clean & scratchless) copy of Windows XP Home with SP2.
I ran the bootcamp assistant and made a 20 gig windows parition (so its under the 32 gig limit of fat32).
Following the installation procedure the windows disk is inserted, the machine reboots and then it just sits there with a black screen and a blinking cursor. The CD drive stops spinning and no progress from that point forward.
I then read on here some had better lucky with a "copy" of the original windows disk so I duplicated it in this Mac (i.e. burned with its own drive) but exactly the same problem with the burned copy (which also opens fine from within OSX).
I'm at a loss... where to go from here? We decided to try apple because they assured us we could run our "windows only aps" on the bootcamp side of the hardware but bootcamp isn't working!
Please advise...
If any of this helps:
OS X Version 10.5.2
2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
Model name: iMac
Model id: iMac8,1
Boot Rom Version: IM81.00C1.B00
SMC Version: 1.30f1

Welcome to the Apple forums:
Be sure your XP disk had SP2 embedded into XP, and not a separate file or patch.
Also be sure your disk is not an ISO image but a real disk, with files on it. You can look at them using your Mac. Insert the CD or DVD and doubleclick the disk icon.
You should see most or all of the following files and folders:
(HOMEWITHSP2)
AUTORUN.INF
DOCS
DOTNETFX
I386
README.HTM
SETUP.EXE
SETUPXP.HTM
SUPPORT
VALUEADD
WIN51
WIN51IC
WIN51IC.SP2
When you copied the disk, did you make sure your copy was Windows readable? Mac has several formats, one of which is Mac-only for data CDs. You need to select the universal mode, Mac and Windows for the data image and when burning the image.
Also be sure you selected to close or finalize the CD after burning or it cannot be read by Windows.

NVIDIA problem - black screen

Hi,
I've got a MacBook Pro 17inch, early 2009 - and since I've installed the latest Lion Updates my Mac has got strange problems with the graphic card(s).
The first time the screen kept black after I wanted to wake it after sleep mode. Restarting several times could not solve the issue. So I waited half an hour, tried starting it again and it was all fine - like nothing ever happened.
After a few days the black screen issue came up again - and I couldn't figure out, how to solve this (other than restarting and restarting and restarting ...). You can hear the typical Mac startsound, but then nothing happens.
I'm not able to see a pattern here, because sometimes my mac boots completely fine but randomly refuses to work at all.
Since today I can't activate the bigger NVIDIA-card in Lion - it's not even mentioned in the system informations (there is only the GeForce 9400M and no other card).
I would reinstall Lion, but I'm not sure, if this could crash the whole machine. Because, if this is a hardware defect, I'm afraid the Lion installation can't switch between both cards if necessary.
I searched on Google and there were several articles about a similar issue (with a black screen and no chance to get it work again) and some guys wrote, there was an issue with NIVIDIA cards from that time and that Apple extended the warranty up to three years for Macs with that problem.
My questions:
What can I do now?
Is there a chance of getting this problem fixed without paying 800 € for repair?
Would you think it's a hardware problem, or is it because of the latest update?
Thank you for your answers!

MacBook Pro June 2009 NVIDIA 9600 black screen of death

Hi there,
I am thinking of buying a new MacBook Pro June 2009 with dual graphics.
1.
As I read about the issues the MacBook Pro has in regards to graphics related to NVIDIA 9600 GT,
black screen of death, I would like to know if anything has changed regarding the NVIDIA 9600 GT
as it is still the same graphic card Apple is using for the latest MacBook Pro series.
Of course I know that Apple does not build it, however are there any informations that NVIDIA has performed changes on its graphic card that the widely discussed long term heat issues relating to the black screen of death will not appear in the latest model series?
2.
As I mainly use PS for picture editing I also would like to know how much this will conflict with the 9600 graphic card in the long term. Are there any users with black screen of death experience that were using PS as their main picture editing software where the issue appeared?
3.
Lastly I am aware that their are tools to manage fan speed behavior - as a workaround to cool down temperatures. Using this software would it void the warranty that is provided by Apple?
I thank you very much for all thoughts about the subject.

Hi pictureswithPS, welcome to Apple Discussions!
1. I have an original late-2008 unibody MBP that was purchased a week after the introduction. I have never had a single "black screen of death" ever, and I do some gaming under OS X on my machine. The heat issues are, in my humble opinion, greatly exaggerated. Does the machine get warm? Yes. However, any computer with this much power in this thin of an enclosure is going to get warm. Mine has never crashed, frozen, black screened, etc. once.
2. I don't think PS is particularly intensive on the graphics card. It may use the graphics card, yes, but I don't think it will be quite as intensive as a 3D modeling application or 3D games. I would doubt you would ever run into problems anyway.
3. Lastly I am aware that their are tools to manage fan speed behavior - as a workaround to cool down temperatures. Using this software would it void the warranty that is provided by Apple?
No, it wouldn't likely void the warranty. However, if your fans die prematurely as a result of running them at high speeds for extended periods of time, I doubt Apple would be especially happy about replacing them. I do not use any 3rd party tools to manage my fans, and never will. It is simply not necessary.

HP G62 455 dx black screen blinking cursor F11 recovery same black screen

Hello,
I have an HP G62 455 - when power on shows a black screen with a blinking cursor. I have tried to hit F11 to do a system recovery and that screen loads the same black screen with blinking cursor. Performed Hard Drive tests in BIOS and all passed. Do I need to order a recovery kit or am I doing something wrong? Any advice is much appreciated.

MSI Nvidia NX6200 black screen problem

Hi,
i'm having this problem with my MSI Nvidia NX6200.
im using windows xp-service pack 3.
Everything was working fine, then, a few days ago i started the computer and i opened some programs, and suddenly, the monitor screen goes to black and the monitor goes off(like if i just shut down the computer), then after a few seconds, the monitor powers goes on, and a blue screen is shown with a message that said something like this:
""The computer needs to shut down.
The problem seems to be in the file: nv4_disp""
So i restarted windows several times, and everytime the same thing happens.
So i logged into windows in safe mode and unistalled the graphic card drivers, restarted windows,
and the system started correctly this time, but with no drivers.
so,
what can i do so the graphic card goes back to normal and with the drivers installed?
thanks.

Yes those are capacitors that are blown. If you know someone with halfway decent soldering skills you could get appropriate new caps and replace them. I know some people can do that and others can't, otherwise you need to replace the card. I did a Google search and found quite a few video cards of various manufacturers and models with blown caps like that. I get a feeling most of them were caused by overheating due to inadequate airflow through the case on cards with passive cooling and on cards with fan cooling, dead fans.
where can i get the new caps?
the capacitators started blowing after one year of buying the card, the five capacitators did not blew at the same time, they blew over a period of 5 or 6 months.
i did heard them blowing, but at the moment i did not knew what it was. it was a sound like a short circuit.
at the end, when the card stopped working, i took it out, and i knew it was that, and i saw them blown.
since i bought that card, i noticed that the power supply fan worked more and made more sound than with the old default card that i had when i bought the pc.

G62 fans run, black screen, blinking CAps Lock

I went to turn on my G62 today and i heard the fan running and it tried to boot up but stopped. The screen was completely black and the caps lock key blinks steady one blink every like 5 seconds.
It was running perfectly fine yesterday!
Someone told me it sounds like a bios problem but when i searched the forum for a fix it said to start it up while holding the windows and B keys and turning it on. This didnt do anything and now i need a fix?
Anyone that can help it would be appreciated greatly!

Hard reset fixes issue.
But still do it again as follows:
1) Turn off laptop.
2) Remove battery and AC plug.
3) Press and hold Power button for 1 minute, do it thrice.
4) Now put battery and plug AC.
5) Now press power button.
6) Go to BIOS settings and reset all.
Above worked for me.
