Raid-0 K7N2 and Windows XP Black Screen
:confused2:I just bought a Sil 0680 card and installed it with 2 WDC 80gb hard drives (one with 8mb buffer other with 2mb buffer).
Windows xp installs fine if I leave them as individual sets, but when I make a RAID-0 array, it will detect the drive at 160gb, format it, copy the installation files, but when it reboots to start the installation it hangs on a black screen.
Any ideas?
Does MSI not support SIL 0680?
Thanks,
tim
Ok if you notice my last comment i said i installed the drivers using f6.
I am able to get to the Blue windows screens to setup the partitions and select where windows is installed. It also copies the setup files to the drive and says hit enter to restart. Once I restart (and yes SCSI is first), it posts, then goes black then eventually reboots.
Are you saying hit F6 a second time? I am never prompted to do so, only black screen.
I have installed SCSI and RAID drives MANY MANY times for 2000 server and 2003 server. Just never on XP. I would assume its the same though. I am wondering if the Sil0680 chip is not compatible with nforce2 or this mobo.

i have macbook pro 13.3 inch. I am installing window 7 in boot camp manager after copying file of window upto 67% it doesn't response and i had forcely shotdown my macbook. Now my macbook doesn't open and stop in black screen with cursor blinking. Now how could i open my macbook pro.
At startup hold down the Option/Alt key and from the screen that comes up select your OS X partition to start the computer from. Then use the Boot Camp Assistant app to Remove Windows and the partition you reated for it and it will Automatically place the space you allocated for the Windows install back into the OS X partition.
NOTE:
Do NOT use Disk Utility to erase the partition that was created for the Windows install. Use the Boot Camp Assistant app again to do that. -
Windows 7 Black Screen solution found, needs to be verified.
Hi all,
I've seem to have found a way to get Windows 7 64Bit working and more or less avoid the black screen that bugs the **** out of iMac 27" owners.
This method will probably work on any version of Windows 7 32 and 64-Bit.
This is tested with an Windows 7 64-Bit Ultimate OEM DVD with authentic license.
*1. Installation of Windows 7 with information found in support article TS3173.*
Follow instructions from Apple's support article TS3173
Found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
NOTE! Apple states that if it remains black after several minutes you need to power it off, don't.
You need to wait until the machine goes into sleep mode, around 15-20Min!
Eg. don't touch mouse or keyboard in this periode.
Yeah I know you just could enter repair mode from installation Windows 7 DVD and delete ATI drivers manually, but this method saves you the hassle.
Ofcource you need to check if the USB device etc, is correctly configured.
--SNIP FROM TS3173--
If the screen remains black after several minutes, power it off (hold the power button for several seconds), then go back to step 6. Ensure that your USB device or SD card is formatted as Master Boot Record, FAT, and that AutoUnattend.xml and Drivers are on the root level of the directory.
--SNIP FROM TS3173--
*2. Resume installation of Windows 7.*
20 Mins have now passed, touch the keyboard and the black screen should light up and show you the dialogue where you enter a username and computername.
2.1 Enter you product/serial key for Windows 7.
2.2 On dialogue for Windows update: Select the recommended settings for Windows update, top choice.
*NOTE! DO NOT! I REPEAT, DO NOT! INSTALL BOOT CAMP 3.0 or 3.1!*
I will however do some research how to get BOOT Camp 3.1 service running.
*3. After successful installation of Windows 7.*
Windows now install 2 updates security in the back ground, if you have put on recommended settings for Windows update as stated in 2.2.
*3.1 Changing the power save settings for Windows 7.*
The reason you need to do this is, that after the reboot/restart you soon are going to do will give you the black screen again, eg. you would wait around 20min or so again for the iMac to enter sleep mode so you In turn could get the screen to lit up again. As in step 1.
Now change the power save settings in the following way,
Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Change Plan settings (Next to Balanced (Recommended)).
Turn off display: 1min
Put Computer to sleep: 3min
Click >> Save Changes.
Close all open Windows.
Reboot/Restart.
*3.2 Startup times after power save changes.*
Now the iMac 27" screen should only stay black for around 5 min after restarts/reboots.
Eg. its the same as in Step 1. Don't touch keyboard and mouse wait for it to enter sleep mode, then touch keyboard and screen should light up.
*4. Install sound card drivers.*
This section will explain how to install and get the sound card working properly with microphone and all.
*4.1 Download latest driver from Cirrus Logic.*
Found here: http://www.cirrus.com/en/support/lic/lic3.html?uri=/en/pubs/software/CS4207WinVista_Win7_32-64-bit6-6001-1-21.zip
Extract drivers to eg. C:\Drivers\Sound
*4.2 Install the drivers.*
Press (Start) The MS Windows Logo down to the left.
Right click, Computer and select, Manage.
Select, *Device Manager* under System Tools
Select, *Sound, Video and game controllers*
Select the top card in list, *High Definition Audio Device*
Right click and select, *Update driver software*.
Now select, Browse my computer for driver software.
Click, Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
Click, Have Disk...
Now Browse to where you extracted your driver and select cs420x and click Open.
Then Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 81) Should show up in the list under Model.
Select card in list and press Next.
Close all windows.
Reboot/Restart.
*5. Its not perfect yet...*
Your startup time of Windows 7 should now be reduced to around 5. Min.
Eg. Follow step 3.2 each time you boot Windows 7.
*6. Install all Windows 7 updates , including the optional one for the Atheros Wireless card.*
NOTE! I will improve this step later.
Press (Start) The MS Windows Logo down to the left.
In search field, type Windows Update and Click on Windows Update that show on the top of the start menu.
Click Check for updates.
Now Install all Important updates and the optional one for the Atheros wireless card. Should be around 24 updates in total.
Reboot/Restart.
*7. Now Windows 7 should now boot properly each time without the 5 min wait.*
Now step 3.2 may apply again, but it shouldn't!
NOTE! You may need to reboot a second time after installation of Windows updates to get rid of step 3.2 waiting times.
I have now tested 4 times, rebooting/restarting Windows 7 and the screen light up every time immediately after boot, also after a session in OS X.
I will also see if there is a way to install Boot Camp 3.1 services without getting the black screen issue.
If people with an iMac 27" have the time install Windows 7, please verify if this works for you or not.
I will do more reboots and tests to see if it holds and I can change power save settings back to normal. But atm, its so far so good.I've had the same problem, and sorted it using this:
Run the Boot Camp Assistant in OS X as normal and create a partition when asked, then insert your Windows 7 disc to reboot and begin the process proper.
Windows 7 requires the NTFS file system, so once in the installer just select your new partition (labelled BOOTCAMP), click on Drive options (Advanced) and choose to format it. Then select the newly formatted partition and continue.
Windows 7 will begin installing, and once it gets almost to the bottom of its checklist, it’ll try to reboot. Now, if you leave it here, you’ll get so far and see the black screen. Any further attempts to reboot will bring you to the same dead end.
Instead, restart and press a key to boot from the Windows 7 disc when prompted.
Rather than running the installation again, choose the little option at the bottom to Repair your computer. Decline any suggestions that pop up until you see a list of options with Command Prompt at the bottom. Choose that option.
At the Command Prompt, type DEL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ATIKMDAG.SYS to delete the default ATI driver, then close the window and reboot.
This time, Windows should successfully initialise a more appropriate display driver, allowing you into the desktop. From here insert your OS X disc to install the relevant hardware drivers as you normally would, then run Windows update to clear up any leftovers.

HP Envy 15 Laptop Notebook Windows 10 Black Screen After Boot
Hello, My issue invloves my laptop notebook which is the HP Envy 15, Product Number: A9P60UAR#ABA. I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from my Windows 7 and experienced issues involving very long boot times to load to the log in screen and then all I see before I get to the login screen is a completely black screen with no curser for over a minute on average. I used to be able to load to the log in screen in an average time of 10 to 30 seconds with Windows 7. After I log into my pc and reach my desktop I tried to put my pc in sleep mode and then try to wake up from sleep mode and then the black screen that happened when I booted my computer happened for about a minute to two minutes before I was able to see the log in screen, usually with my computer completely skipping the password requirement. This issue is quite agrivating and I have reverted back to Windows 7 sinse this began to happen. I am willing to upgrade back to Windows 10 because I am able to revert back to windows 7 easily. Im not sure if I can fix this issue at this point in time with the lack of updates for drivers with my laptop some how or if others are experiencing the same problem. If there is more information required to help I will be glad to help with the information. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Well..
I found my own solution, for anybody interested:
Now, I am not entirely sure if the video driver crashing is related, because it is working fine now.
But, what I did was hit F8 at boot, went to Windows recovery tools area, and ran system restore to a restore point created by Revo Uninstaller before it uninstalled the AOL Registry files, and it booted up fine.
My thinking, and probably everyone else reading this, is that when it uninstalled the AOL registry files, it must have caused some sort of problem? I scanned the Revo Uninstaller (and the crack I downloaded from PirateBay) with AVG before I even used it, and there was no virus, trojans, malware etc, etc. It was clean. So I don't think it was a virus or anything of that sort. My only thinking is that it must have uninstalled something it shouldn't have, causing Windows to stop functioning.
Don't think it was a RAM problem, because I first booted with my old 1GB module (after the restore) and it booted fine, powered down, and put my 2GB in, and it is working fine. Although I am running off of AC power right now - my battery isn't attached. That is the last variable left untested. I will most certainly post again if something goes wrong when I put my battery in.
I hope you guys want to discuss this, and maybe this will help someone else who has this problem, although mine seems pretty unique.

When I power up my 2008 Mac Pro I get the "welcome chime", fan comes on, a light comes on on my Apple moniter and then nothing - black screen. What,s going on?
what you describe as the "welcome chime" is the indicator that your Mac has passed the Power-On Self test, and if a suitable source of software can be found, booting is likely.
If the screen stays dark, the most likely explanation is a graphics card failure. But it could also be caused by a backlight failure in the LCD, so be sure you try shining a bright light at the screen to be check whether the picture is there, but just not illuminated.
Graphics card failure will end the boot-up process in some cases, and not have an impact in others. Two external indications you can use when your display is not working are: The Caps Lock key, which is under the control of Mac OS X, and the Control-Eject dialog box shown below. Note that the default is Shutdown, so a Mac that shuts down in response to Control-Eject followed by Return is working fine. -
I just got a refurbished iPod 5th generation 32gb. This morning I went to turn it on and it didn't do anything and kept the black screen. I tryed to turn it on but it didn't do anything. The day before it had looked weird, as in I was downloading an app and it powered down, the when I tryed to turn it back on it got red and green lines on it. Should I send my ipod in to Apple so they can fix it or can I do this myself?
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. Or send it to Apple

Help, I just gave iTunes the assignment to update my iPhone5 to iOS7 and now it gives an unknown error (6). The iPhone is still hooked to my laptop, and shows the black screen and bright Apple with the horizontal bar, telling it's in the middle of something. What should I do?
DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

It needs to be restored by someone. You can do it, and set it up as a new phone, or the buyer can do it.

If your phone is not covered by the warranty anymore, Apple will replace it for a new device, same model and size, if you are willing to pay the service fee.
If you decide to get a 3rd party company to do the repair, Apple will not service your phone anymore after that.
Out-of-warranty repair service
If your repair isn’t covered by Apple’s One Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare+, or AppleCare Protection Plan, your iPhone might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. For example, liquid damage isn’t covered by warranty but might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. Some damage isn’t eligible at all, for example if your device has been broken into multiple pieces. See Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions for complete details.

PowerBook G4 - Won't Start Up - 3 Strange Beeps then just LED flashes and sudden death - black screen.
Prior that the powerbook also couldn't start but I could see the Apple logo, so via fire-wire (holding T at start up) I backed up the hard disk.
Check via DiskToolPro the structure, defragmented. Via DiskWarrior rebuild the directory
and finally not been able to access the drive I reformatted the drive via fire-wire drive.
Re-started the powerbook holding C to boot up from DVD - nothing
Re-started again and it give me one long beep and black screen. An indication that my 1gig RAM is bad or gone (?) and the DVD is stuck inside.
Bought new one 1 gig, installed it and now I'm getting only three beeps.
I tried all, changed the slots several times and nothing.
I tried more as:
c -- to boot from CD (again while the DVD is still inside and I cannot get it out)
cmd-opt-p-r -- to Zap the PRAM,
cmd-opt-n-v -- to clear NV RAM,
cmd-opt-o-f -- to boot into open firmware … and nothing. The DVD is in and I have
black screen with three beeps and flashing LED.
Do I have to replace the Logic Board? (Anyone has a spare one ?)
But it is the faulty Logic board?
Could anyone help me out? Please.
I'm retired and I cannot afford a new laptop - and this powerbook was a great, great horse for me until that horrible set of three beeps.
Thank you in advance for any advice and help.

There was a known issue with LBs in 15-inch PowerBooks with 1.5 and 1.67Ghz processors in which one RAM slot would fail. There once was a repair extension program that fixed the problem at no cost, but it is long-expired.
The problem with seeking a used logic board for these models is that so many had their boards replaced that it increases the chances of the boards in the used/pulled markets having the same problem you have now. The replacement program also came close to exhausting the supply of new boards,
If it turns out to be a bad LB and you can't find a replacement, consider how used computer pricing works: A used computer is worth hugely more in parts than if bought as a working unit. I.E, you can probably find a working PowerBook that will cost less than the logic bard alone. It also possible to find a used MacBook Pro for less that a replacement LB.
If you tell us your approximate geographic location, we can see what's available nearby. I'm also retired, and and visiting my wife's family this week so have even more time than usual to help you search.

SB Live ! 24 bit external USB and windows seven blue screen
;SB Li've ! 24 bit external USB and windows seven blue screen+ hi! i have installed windows seven 64 bit build 7600 RTM on my PC and i wanted to install also my USB sound card which is SB Li've ! 24 bit and i downloaded the beta drivers from creative. instalation was really fast and smooth but at the end i've got a message that the program has stopped to response and i have closed it. i did a system reboot and i have seen that the sound card has been installes succesfull and also the control panel. Sound was clear and really nice, all worked fine but sometimes im getting a blue screen on my windows with a code STOP 0x000000E and then a file named usbuhc.sys was the problem. i think that the sound card is the thing that is doing the blue screen becouse i have only a keyboard, mouse and the sound card SB Li've ! installed as USB.
Is it normal that i have those troubles on my PC ? is it my sound card my windows seven problem ? what should i do now ?
at the moment i have turned off the sound card so i will see if i get a blue screen or not.
thanks for any reply? yes, i have also tried to download the beta drivers again and re-install them but i have still the same problem :/ it happens in a different time, sometimes after hour or sometimes after 0 hours when my computer is turned on. my system is mostly turned on becouse im downloading some stuff so it is running all the day, sometimes im surfing websites but its nothing special. I really dont know what to do :/@83.30.93.77

So, after my iPod touch died, i plugged it into the computer to try and charge it, and now it keeps changing between the charging screen, the apple logo, and a blank black screen, still hasn't charged, and its been plugged in for almost an hour now
See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Have you tried another cable?
Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

Satellite Pro C845-SP4337KL Windows 8 black screen and only mouse's cursor works
Hi,
In one Satellite Pro C845-SP4337KL with Windows 8 is happening that a black screen appears suddenly and only the mouse's cursor works.
If I connect a second display I have tow (2) black screens.
Control-Alt-Delete doesn't work.
If I move the cursor to the left corner the start menu doesn't appears.
The C845 responds throug the network to ping, and I can brow the disc remotly from another PC when the black screen appears.
The only thing I can do is to force the shutdown, and I lose my work.
After that I have to verify the disk integrity and try to recover my files.
This had happen twice.
Thanks for any help.
Cordially, Rafael TravecedoHi
I have uñgraded from windows 8 to 8.1 yesterday and i'm in a litle problem, similar than yours.
When loging in to my account in the principal page after starting up my PC, the password is accepted, but from tht point after, just a Black screen shows. Nothing else happens, except for the fact that my mouse cursor responds with no problem... But there is nothing I can do with a black screen and no buttons or links or desktop neither windows 8 or 8.1 start page..
Did you find any answer to your trouble?
Thkns. Hope that my reply could help, but unfortunetly I'm trouble myself... -
Windows 7 black screen with mouse in normal mode only
Windows 7 Ultimate goes to login screen on startup. After login to any account (which takes longer than normal - normal is pre-issue) the screen goes black and I'm left with a mouse and no keyboard input. I can boot into any mode except Normal
mode - Normal mode is the only mode where I cannot get my desktop.
I tried 'Last known good configuration' and that works until I reboot or shut down the computer, which then goes back to the black screen on startup and login. Also, when I do utilize the 'Last known good configuration' boot, I lose my network card
driver. That's not a problem because I just reinstall it and I can then connect.
I ran anti-virus with zero results. I ran Malwarebytes with zero results. I ran SUPERAntiSpyware with zero results (exempting cookies).
I have yet to see another post where someone can get into any mode except Normal mode, or keep their 'Last known good configuration' only once before it goes bad/corrupt on them. I don't know what else to look for. My registry shows Shell = Explorer.exe,
and any other registry checks mentioned in other posts come out valid (nothing to change/update).
What should I do short of reinstalling Windows?
George, ShortyHi,
Besides that, you also could try startup repair to fix this issue.
