Successful BIOS update now only black screens

Hi! I am currently using a MSI K9A2 CF-F V2 and I wanted to update the bios in order to take advantage of an AM3 CPU socket. I found what I believe to be the correct BIOS from the MSI driver search (7388 version 1.D) since I have Vista 64-bit and was unable to use the Live Update. I completed the USB Flash update recommended here and successfully flashed my bios. I reset CMOS and booted up fine. I ran the MSIHQ Tool and it showed the correct version. About 20 minutes later my computer is now black screened permanently and the monitor is staying in power saving mode. I hear no beeps upon power up, however all of the motherboard lights and fans work. If I unplug the monitor it is responsive to the disconnect. I've swapped video cards and ram just in case. Any advice? Thank you so much for any help!
680 Watt Power Supply
AMD Phenom X4 9550 Quad-Core (never put the new CPU in even though BIOS seemed correct after update)
MSI K9A2 CF-F AMD 790X V2
8 gig Mushkin DDR2 1066
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB PCI-Express x16
320 GB HARD DRIVE [Serial-ATA-II, 3Gb, 7200 RPM, 16M Cache]

I put in one stick of 2 gig Kingston DDR2 800 ram into the primary slot and same issue. I triple checked all PSU connections, and disconnected all extra connections however again all fans and motherboard lights are showing power.

Pavilion g6t wont boot after bios update now just black screen please help!

I downloaded an update for the bios for my pavilion g6t-1d00 laptop running windows 7 64 bit. It started acting kind of funny but I didnt think anything of it til I tried to boot it up the next day and all I got was a black screen and a orange led light on the f12 button for the internet and the caps lock button after blinking afew times started the dredded two times every couple of seconds. I tried the windows key+B key power key, no luck. I cant access anything because I have no monitor and I'm at my wits end. I refuse to wipe my hard drive and start over even if I could! I cant access hp tools or manager or anything, please someone has to have a solution!

@Fuschia4me,
1.       You will have to use another computer
2.       Access the HP.com site with the BIOS updates available here is the link
3.       You want to select the F.36 BIOS version
4.       When you click on the update then click download and it will ask you to save or run, you want to save to a flash drive
5.       Once done insert the flash drive into your laptop
6.       Turn the computer on and press the windows and B key like before
If the process doesn’t work the first time I would try at least 2 more times.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

Hi,
Check if this helps:
Restoring the BIOS
If it is blinking 3 times it usually indicates memory issue..So you can try reseating the memory modules or try one memory at a time in each slot..
Refer the links below:
HP Notebook PCs - Troubleshooting LED Blink Codes or Beep Codes During Startup or Boot
Removing and Replacing a Memory Module for HP Pavilion g6-2000, g6-2100, g6-2200 and g6-2300 Noteboo...
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

I restored my 3gs iphone and now it shows only black screen with apple mark... dont know what to do?

i restored my 3gs iphone and now it shows only black screen with apple mark... dont know what to do?

I would suggest you try to update your iOS 8.0.2 to the latest iOS 8.1.0 with iTunes on your computer. Don't try to do the update on your iPhone, it takes time and some error always occur. After updating to iOS 8.1.0, if your iPhone can't restart properly, try Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS trial version. It will say that your iPhone is not in normal mode, offering you the option 'restart the device'. Just click the button to let your iPhone restart.

my ipod touch 4th gen isnt work after a long time with 0 percent battery power.Then its not working. computer doesnt respond to my ipod .only black screen is appearing it even not wake up after reset it what can i do please help me

After being connected to a charging source overnight 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 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.

I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in safari

Hi. I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in Safari. Also in old version of Safari, and in old System. In some windows, i can save the document, only now i can see this, open from pdf reader. Thank for some info.

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

My MacBook Air won't start up, only black screen no logo

I've had my MacBook Air since Christmas 2014. I have not spilt anything on it, I have not dropped it and the charger isn't broken.
Yesterday my computer wouldn't turn on, it was working the day before so I don't know why this was happening. When I turn on I mean:
Press the turn on key
I hear the chime for it to turn on
then all of a sudden
no logo only black screen and then nothing after it.
I really don't want to reset it because it has all my school work on it and very important pictures on it.
Is there anyway we can fix it? I've looked on this website many times and others and nothing has really helped.
If you have anything new please reply ASAP.
I need this fixed within 2 weeks.
Thank you.

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Testing app on device shows only black screen.

Hi,
I created hello world app, app is working fine on simulator,
But when I install this app on device, and launch it from devie it shows only black screen. I am not sure whats the possible reason for this.
Device which I am using is Intex cloud fx.
Does any here faced this problem?
Thanks

Hi Malkit Singh,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems installing a test app that you developed for your Intex Cloud Fx.
Unfortunately, I have not heard of this issue. Do you have a different Firefox OS device that you would be able to test this on?
I would also suggest contacting Intex Support for device-specific issues.
If you believe there might be something wrong with the code in the test app, you can ask developer-related questions on [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/firefox-os StackOverflow].
Please let us know if you have any other questions about your new Firefox OS device! =)

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.

I have a HP TX2Z-1000. The HP assistant prompted for a BIOS updated & now I'm unable to boot.

I have a HP TX2Z-1000. The HP assistant prompted for a BIOS updated & now I'm unable to boot. I let it go through it's process it shut down and now I'm getting post code indicating a CPU failure? Can a bios update fry the CPU?
I've removed the batteries, 30 minutes later I attached the power cord and tried to boot with the same result. Can you shed some light on what maybe going on and how to fix it?
Thank you!

Can you get the exact error code?
