Running Startup Repair Leads to Black Screen
Hi Everyone,
About a week ago I had trouble with my computer not loading and I posted a topic about it. Nothing was working so I ended up formatting my hard drive and starting over.
It's been working fine for about a week, but then yesterday afternoon after I finished with it and left for class, I can back to start it up only to see that it won't start.
The fading/flashing windows logo shows but then as the bottom progress bar is still loading, the screen turns black.
After a few minutes I get a black screen and my cursor on it.
I've unplugged my external monitor, any USB attachments, but they don't work.
I've also tried running repairs, booting from CD with my Win7 Disk I burned after my fixing my computer last week, but the screen still turns black when it says windows is loading.
I can't even activate safe mode because I still get the black screen with the cursor.
Does anyone have any ideas and can help me? I got this computer a year and a half ago and I've already had trouble starting it up twice this week.
Thank you so much in advance!
