Pavilion m9250f freezes with a black screen and no response after sleep

This prob has plaqued the cmptr since it was new, but now it is constantly happening.
When the cmptr is put in sleep, it will not boot up again.  The fans work, but the video screen stays black.  I have upgraded the video drivers to solve this issue, but it still happens.  The MB has been replaced with an OEM board, I tried several video cards, installed all upgrades for the bios and hardware, and I removed the bios battery.  The system has been left for hours with no power or battery.  Once the system locks up, there appears to be no way to boot it up with the installed video card.  Randomly, it will boot up.  What triggers it to work is beyond me.
To make the system work, I have to remove the video card and use the onboard VGA video.  This has worked for both MB boards. After using the onboard video, the plug in video will only start working  when it choses to.  As long as I  shut it down after using it, it will keep working.

Rest the SMC and PRAM. If that doesn't change anything either contact Apple support via phone or return the system to an Apple store.
SMC:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

  • TS3533 How can I shut down my PowerBook wiyh retina display in case of black screen and nonresponsive keyboard after sleep?

    Installed OS 10.82 and EFI update and put the system to sleep. Trying to wake it again resulted in black screens and an irresponsive keyboard: there seems to be no way to shut the system down in this case. My solution was to unplug the machine and let it blow the fans and run "by itself" untill it after several hours shut down because of low battery charge. After plugging it in again, it would start on key board command and now works fine.
    Question: Is emptying the battery really the only way shut the laptop down in this case?

    All you should need to do is push and hold the on/off button for a few seconds. It should shut it down cold.
    If it doesn't you may have a defective machine.

  • I installed Mountain Lion and now some times when I start my mac it look with a black screen and white text. I'm really worry about it, can somebody help me?

    I installed Mountain Lion in my IMac and now, some times, when I start up my mac it looks with a black screen and white text. I'm really worry about it, can somebody help me?

    Don't worry, this is probably just Verbose Mode. It's perfectly harmless.  If you're not specifically invoking it, than it's probably down to an unwanted setting in NVRAM.  See this article on resetting NVRAM if it continues to bother you.

  • My Mac mini starts up with a black screen and white writing.

    Okay basically I purchased a Mac mini (Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8GHZ 1GB RAM model) in Feburay 2008, and in June 2008 i decieded to bring it to a store to get it upgraded to 2GB. At the store the guys told me my Mac mini wouldnt accept 2GB, they reckon it was 'cause of the logic board. So they put a new one in and was able to succesfully install 2GB.
    Since that day my Mac mini stopped starting up with the apple logo. Now it starts up with the white/greyish background without the apple logo, then goes to a black screen and just runs pass loads of white text then its ready to use with no problems. It does this all the time.
    I've read a little about the Kernal Panic and looked at pictures of it, but what I have doesn't look like the kernal panic pictures i'm seeing.
    So i am writing this pose to find out whats wrong with my Mac mini, can anyone help me?
    Oh, I nearly forgot. When i turn the Mac mini off it does the same black screen with white text stuff before fully shutting down.

    Restart the computer with the Option, Command, P, and R keys held down, and release them when you hear the second startup chime; this clears a setting which causes it to start up into verbose mode each time.

  • PopcornTime starts with a black screen and does not load

    I installed PopcornTime from the AUR and it does not seem to load. When I launch the application, it simply loads a black screen and does not move from there.  When I launch the application from the terminal, I get this output.

    It seems as though quite a few files are missing, though the yaourt built the application just fine.

    I had the same issue with the git version. Install the stable version and it should work fine

  • I just loaded the 8.1 operating system on my iPad.  It has been sitting for about 4 hours with the black screen and white apple with the bar underneath.  What should I do?

    I am having trouble after loading the 8.1 operating system on my ipad.
    My iPad is model A1397 EMC 2424
    MEID ********
    Serial DL******JHH
    64GB
    I started loading 8.1 about 5 hours ago and it is still sitting with the black screen with the progress bar underneath.  It shows that it is almost done loading - just has a tiny bit of the progress bar left.
    <Edited by Host>

    I Don't know if this will work for anyone else but just FYI - after loading 8.1 on my iPad it froze for several hours on the black screen with white Apple and progress bar underneath. It would not do anything.  I thought I was doomed.  I accidentay left it sitting overnight without plugging it Back into the charger. I meant to but got sidetracked and thought it was plugged in. During the night the battery was totally drained so this morning my iPad was dead. I plugged it into the charger and after a few minutes the battery icon came up showing it was charging. I gave it about 30 minutes and then turned it on and the new operating system came up. It looks like it might be ok now.  I can't say I recommend this, but it worked for me.

  • I tried to update my ipad software whilst connected to my computer. There was an error and now my ipad is frozen with a black screen and a white apple. it will not even power up. Help

    I connected my ipad to my laptop in the hopes of dowloading some photos i needed. It invited me to back up my data and update to ios 7.0.6. After 2 hours to download the software it then tried to install it and encountered an error. The ipad is now frozen to a black screen and the apple symbol. i cannot even power it off. What on earth can I do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Also, do you remember what the error message said?

  • Solution for a course going to a black screen and locking up after a while (20-30 slides for me)?

    The LMS is Saba and I'm using Captivate 6.  I am testing the course in production.  The course goes to a black screen and locks up.  The first time was at slide 28 of 55 which is a widget and the second time was at slide 20 of 55 which is a multiple choice test item.  I'm not sure if the type of slide I'm trying to advance to matters but I want to give as much info as possible. The issue seems to be random since I was first able to get to slide 28. 

    With LMS issues you should always test the same project in SCORM Cloud before you blame the project.  If SCORM Cloud shows the same issue, fine, blame the project.  If SCORM Cloud has no issue with it, get in touch with the LMS vendor.  It may be that they need to update some component of their SCORM Player software.

  • HP Pavilion a6000 desktop with Vista black screen - need help please!

    I have an HP Pavilion a6000 desktop with Vista.  Yesterday it was working fine and today we have the black screen that reads: 
    Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0
    Copyright (c) 2000, Award Software, Inc.
    BIOS ROM checksum error
    Detecting IDE ATAPI device...
    Found CDROM, try to boot from it...Fail
    Detecting IDE ATAPI device...
    Detecting IDE ATAPI device...
    Detecting floppy drive A media...
    Drive A error.  System halt
    I am not a techie, but looked at online forums and have tried f10 at startup with no change to the screen other than it stops after the first four lines and does not try the floppy drive.  I also pulled out the round battery, waited and then reintstalled.  Same problem.  
    Also, computer emits a single, repeating beep after startup.
    HELP!

    I saw your post and wanted to comment. I'm not an expert on these types of situations but did some digging around and found the following at Tips4PC.com.... read below
    "There are two types of computer black screens that can appear in Windows. One where the computer will not boot up but you have a beep sequence sounding to let you know what the problem could be, and the other has nothing at all. No beeps, no cursor, no logo screen, and no choice to boot to safe mode or access the bios.
    If your computer will not boot up and you get a beep sequence, I am not saying it is good news, however it is a step in the right direction towards solving this problem. This is a message from your computer that can be understood by looking up your bios (the brand) beep code. For example you may have an Award Bios, Ami Bios, Phoenix BIOS, Compaq, Dell, or Acer Bios. This list goes on and on.  You can search for Bios beep codes in Google. Here is an example of results in Google search"
    Link
    Also  I went into the Troubleshooting Guide for the A6000  and found the following information.  You need to use F11 for recovery. See below
    Starting System Recovery from system startup
    1
    Turn off the computer. If necessary, press and hold the On button until the computer
    turns off.
    2
    Remove the HP Personal Media Drive if your computer includes one. Disconnect all
    peripheral devices from the computer except the monitor, the keyboard, and the
    mouse.
    3
    Press the On button to turn on the computer.
    4
    During the startup, do the following to enter the Recovery Manager program:
    When the blue screen with the HP Invent logo appears, press the F11 key on the
    keyboard. (You have only a few seconds to press the F11 key before the normal
    startup process continues.)
    5
    The computer starts the Recovery Manager program; wait for the onscreen instructions
    to display, and then follow those instructions.
    6
    Complete the computer startup, finish the registration process, and wait until you see
    the desktop. Then, turn off the computer, reconnect all peripheral devices, and turn on
    the computer.

  • Imac starts with a black screen and flashing white light on console

    I have a 24" imac, it is white and it is from the first year they used the intel chip. When I power it up I get a black blank screen and then the white light on the lower right side of the console flashes on and off. I hear the disk drive spin (I put the 10.4 install disk in ) and it does nothing. How do I get the disk out. I even tried holding down the mouse button at start up and that doesn't work.
    I tried to remedy this myself by resetting pram. I have taken out memory and put it back in. I have been able to get it running twice before by taking out memory and putting it back in but it only worked for a little while and then I turned it off and went to turn it back on and same problem again. Is this a logic board problem or something else. I think I read if it was the logic board the disk drive wouldn't work but I hear it spinning.
    Can anyone help me?

    Hi MacGruff69
    That has all the classic signs of unseated, improperly seated or bad RAM.
    Laying the iMac face down on a soft towel and reseat the module(s) by pressing real hard on each one with both thumbs, then closing the ejector clips and replacing the cover.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1432
    Them if the iMac still has the same symptoms, try one module at a time or replace the module(s) with new one(s).

  • My phone is frozen with the black screen and apple. wont conncet to itunes

    i have it connected to usb and it wont read teh phone at all.

    HI Eric, thanks for responding, i have done that.  it flashes a quick shut off and when i turn it back on nothing.  i then tried to hook it up to computer with usb and itunes and it is not reading anything?  any clue what could have happened?  here is what i did ... earlier, my battery going low, so i decided to plug it in to outlet.  when i went back to it, it didnt look like it ever charged and the black screen with apple was on it ..

  • HT201210 I did the update on my phone and now it just keeps restarting itself over and over again. It will come up with the black screen and apple sign and shut off and bring that up again. What do I do?

    First I did the update under general like I do every couple months. My phone came up with a screen, at the end of the update, that had a picture of the itunes icon and a picture of the iphone cord like I was supposed to connect to itunes. I did and itunes said that my phone needed to be "restored" to be reusable again, and the only option it gave me was to click the restore button. So I did and it went through a 30 minute restore session. Now my phone just shows the black screen with the apple icon and restarts over and over again. Clicking the buttons does nothing. It has been doing this for hours now. What do I do?

    The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes.

  • I need help my ipod is unresponsive with a black screen and non working buttons

    Help

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
