Tecra S5 - Black display after startup of windows XP

Hello,
I had problems with the display driver last month after new updates, the original driver of the display was gone.
After some restores of the old versions the display was working but not with the original display driver. I had fount the driver on the notebook and trait to install this again, but something is gone wrong.
When i start the PC than the bios password is ask, filled in, windows XP is started and than the display is dark without courser. Look of the display drive is not started automatically by start up off windows XP.
What can i do? Is te only option run the recovering CD's of the PC?

Hey,
As Macius wrote, can you start the notebook in safe mode?
In safe mode no drivers will be loaded so it should be possible to use safe mode if its just a display driver issue.
If can boot properly into safe mode, you should remove the current display driver and then install newest version from official Toshiba website.
Usually it should work

  • IMac 27 Late 2009 with Random black screen at startup of Windows 7!

    Hi, I'll try to explain the my random black screen issue as best I can.
    I have a boot camp partition with Windows 7 x64 Ultimate installed.
    I used the USB method to install, all goes well and Windows 7 gets installed, I update drivers, install boot camp etc. all is good, right!
    My problem is that everything seems to be in working order, but the built in LED screen will only get lit/active in 1 out of 5 times at startup of Windows, eg. the built in screen stays black/off (black screen issue), like the install issue on iMac 27 I7 w/ATI 4850.
    NOTE! When booting OS X the built in LED screen gets lit/active on every startup.
    So what I did was connect a second LCD monitor via Display port to DVI, this monitor/screen has no issues, it gets lit/active on every startup of Windows, even if the built in screen/monitor stays black/off (black screen issue).
    NOTE! I have tested both the latest drivers from Apple (10.4 19/MAR/2010, found on the USB install method) and AMD ATI Catalyst Driver (10.8 25/AUG/2010). The issue remains on both Apple released drivers and AMD ATI released drives.
    1. So to me it seems like there are some detection/communication issues between the built in monitor and the video card on Windows 7, as there is no issue detecting and activating a monitor connected to the display port.
    Are we missing a monitor driver in Windows that OS X has, or is this a hardware issue that Apple knows about and compensates for in OS X with on load firmware, driver or a kernel fix?
    2. Does anyone else have this issue on their 27" iMac Late 2009 I7, ATI HD 4850 machine?
    If yes, did you manage to solve it?
    Thanks for any help on this issue.
    Cheers,
    Kevin

    Hi, I've seem to have found out the source of the problem.
    The issue is related to heat, and an iMac 27" gets hot pretty fast.
    If I boot the iMac straight after first start into Windows 7 I seem to get a lit built-in display at all times. I can also boot OS X first and then into Windows 7 and the built-in screen get lit every time as long as the iMac isn't hot.
    Strange thing is that the monitor connected to the display port gets lit every time. So I can only assume that the heat only interfere with output to the built-in LED screen.
    So this iMac is going to an Apple premium reseller for service, and I'll tell you guys how it went.

  • Black Screen After Upgrading to Windows 8

    Hi
    I'm experiencing a black screen after upgrading a Dell N5050 B890 to Windows 8.
    Tried to refresh the installation but the problem persited. re-installed the Windows 8, the machine logged in successfully but the problem arose again after reboot.
    Urgent assistance needed 

    This problem is solved...
    I guess the problem is concerned with the display module controller in the BIOS which is having a slight compatibility issue with windows 8.
    This issue is solved by updating the BIOS of your Laptop/PC to the latest version. You can download the latest BIOS from the website of the Laptop company/Motherboard Company. 
    But for updating the BIOS, you have to start your computer/Laptop for at least one time in Normal Mode. So here are the steps to do so... 
    1) Boot the Laptop/PC.
    2) After the boot screen (The Circle Animation & Windows 8 logo), you will be presented by the lovely & awesome blank screen.
    3) Wait for 1 minute so that drivers load into the memory.
    4) Press the Power button of your laptop/PC for only a moment (Just Press and release it quickly. Don't hold. We don't want to shut down).
    5) This will force the laptop/PC to go into Sleep mode.
    6) When the laptop/PC goes in sleep, the laptop fan & other sounds will stop.
    7) After 4-5 seconds, press the power button again & release it quickly.
    8) Voilllaa!!! The laptop/PC starts & you are presented with the lock screen. Now..... Login! What are you waiting for! :P  
    This is not the permanent solution. It just lets you start you Laptop/PC.
    After updating the BIOS, I strongly suggest that you must download the latest graphics driver for your Computer/Laptop to avoid any further issues.

  • Please Help: iMac black screens after startup logo + spinning wheel no cursor).

    Hi, guys.
    I'm in a fair bit of a desperate situation; my iMac's screen seems to shut down every time after the white startup screen. The Apple logo appears, & the progress wheel begins spinning, then after a while - when it would usually then go to the gray login screen - it would, instead, go black. I can tell that the machine is still on (I can still hear it clicking as it does during processing) but I'm unable to determine anything else. Nothing is visible on the screen - not even the cursor - it's as if the display had turned off completely. I'm not sure if the login screen sits beneath that black screen (I have tried to log on by typing my login details in blindly, but even if it does log in, it's hard to determine what state the computer is in without seeing the screen.
    I have tried the PRAM reset (holding CMD+OPT+P+R) during both the white startup screen, & the black screen to no avail. It seems unresponsive because I don't hear any additional chimes that I've been told should be heard during a PRAM reset attempt. I can't even be sure that the command is being inputted correctly because the light on my wireless keyboard remains off during the process.
    I've tried rebooting over & over again; the results are the same.
    The steps that led to the problem occurred thusly:
    1 - I was trying to clear some memory from my current session, so I scanned through my active processes, quitting anything which seemed to be eating up considerable amounts of memory.
    2 - One particular process I quit was 'launchd' which was functioning under my profile username.
    3 - After quitting launchd, all opened apps seemed to close, & it looked like I was forcibly logged off the machine. The screen froze during this point, & I decided to do a hard reboot to log back in.
    4 - The problem began after this hard reboot; startup seemed to occur as per usual; white screen > apple logo > progress wheel > and then suddenly, a black screen where the login screen should be.
    I've shown a flashlight into the screen while it's black & it seems well & truly like the display has shut down while the iMac continues in the background. I have had issues relating to my screen going black before, but they were random & intermittent; they didn't occur without fail during the exact same time immediately after startup, & could be remedied by using the CTRL+OPT+EJT keys.
    I am on an iMac 2010, 27", using I believe Lion OSX. I am unable to recall additional specifications while the problem persists.
    Could anybody please help me? I'm quite desperate; I was in the middle of some urgent work that I need to get back to as soon as possible.
    Thank you I'm advance to anyone with advice on how I can go about fixing this.
    ,c.

  • HELP! Black screen after startup after Yosemite installation

    Urgent help please.
    I Have a late 2010 MacBook Pro and today installed Yosemite. It appeared to install ok, but now on startup it gets past the apple logo screen then just goes to a black screen with a cursor. I have attempted a safe boot, and it manages to get to the login screen, but it won't accept my password, it just keeps on loading the login screen over and over. Would love an answer please...I am completely puzzled!

    Ok, I am a couple of days ahead of you. I had exactly the same issus on a mid 2010 mid MBP. Mine failed after the install, although it worked fine for a few minutes untill it went into Sleep. When it came back on it was in color But you could not really see, Another reset and all went black.
    After an hour on the phone with support on Sunday who suggested trying a system management reset. Solved nothing. I went to my Genius apt on Monday.  Two hours and 15 minutes waiting in line And finally I got my Genus.
    Again a nice guy trying to help, but other than pulling the connector to the screen and getting back my comprised color negative screen no real progress. "I know it sounds like a strange coincidence but maybe you display went bad."  Well perhaps you can get hit by lighting twice in a row while humming "Oh, What a beautiful morning" but I did not think so.
    I was more lucky back at home. I recently installed an SSD, so I took it out and booted with the old drive and booted 10.9.5. Display was fine. So this proved the issuse was Yosemite install. Here is the good news, when I put the SSD back in everything was great. i know you can't do exactly what I did. Here is what I suggest..
    I believe the issuse is bad video driver with Yosemite during the install.   rreinstall Maverick or boot from another drive with OPTION. . I believe it will work fine. Then if you are lucky perhaps your Yosemite will work as mine did...

  • Won't display after startup

    My Mac mini didn't display after the grey startup screen so I took it to the store. They got it working. At home it didn't work. I called Apple. They troubleshot with me on the phone then said they'd get me a new one.
    The new Mac mini started up fine and worked earlier today, even with restarts, but now it is not working.
    After grey startup, I get a solid blue screen, with no mouse, no icons. This is what happened before.
    My display is a ViewSonic professional. It's a GREAT monitor and I'd hate to give it up.

    Get this. I'm having the same problem with my ViewSonic, the second time in about 10 days, except the problem is also present when I hook up a generic display I use on an old PC. When I plug in the generic display, it puts up a message stating something like both input signals are not working.
    My fix was to use a new adapter plug for the monitor that shipped with my Mac G5 at work. I plugged it in and it fixed the problem, but now it's doing the same thing. I though perhaps the ViewSonic was overloading the adapter and frying it.
    Ideas?

  • Thunderbolt no display after firmware update (Windows only)

    hi folks
    it appears my thunderbolt 27" is 50% dead... after doing the firmware update (i think it was 1.2), my thunderbolt is now dead in Windows.
    it works perfectly in Mac OS X, and is detected correctly and 'all.
    as soon as I boot with it into Windows 7 x64, the screen is just black, and my mouse also has no lights.
    Bootcamp is running at 4.0 in Windows
    it's currently plugged into my MacBook Pro 17" Mid-2011
    what is the next steps? wait it out until a new firmware will be released?
    (I'm using the real estate of the screen for my development work in Windows)

    Seems to work today after I unplugged the power for 24h.
    It worked for 10seconds inside of Windows, then the USB stopped working. My keyboard and mouse were plugged in, including my LAN cable. As soon as I plugged my kb+mouse into the MacBook Pro directly, I went to the Network Connections in Windows and tried to Disable the LAN. Just after I clicked on Disable, I got a buzz noise from the screen, and a BSOD - Blue Screen of DEATH.
    Can Apple please FIRE the guy who wrote the Firmware update?

  • Black screen after startup

    I have a 13 inch MBP mid 2009 with 10.6.8. This has happened twice. I have turned on my laptop from sleep mode when it was low on battery and shortly after it dies. I attach the charger and wait a little bit before turing on the laptop. When I turn it on, i hear the hardrive start up and the chime but the screen does not turn on. The keyboard lights up and the computer works because I can put in a dvd and it will start playing (I can hear the sound) but no picture. The only way I can get it to start working is to disconnect the battery from the computer. Once I do that, everything works fine again. Just need to reset the date and clock.  I guess the logic board is slowly dying. Or is it the GPU as I have seen with other comments. Other issues I have are that one of the USB ports died and sometimes when I stream videos the picture turns white in areas.
    Any suggestions?

    I've had a similar problem that has still not been resolved.. I have a 24' iMac 9'1 with ati radeon HD 4850.
    What would happen to me is that if I am using windows for a prolonged period of time and playing with Apps that consume lots of power or playing games, the system would not restarf. What I mean by that is if I select to go to mac osx right after I finish what I was doing, it would restart, I would hear the start up sound and then it would just hang on black. The monitor would never power up. So I had to turn it off wait few minutes and turn it back on. Apple replaced the video card but nothing changed. This all happened to me with windows xp so now I upgraded to 7 and am still testing things out..
