    black screen of death


    Hi, Im running Win 7 Home Premium

    I have the black screen of death.

    I restarted, it went to Startup Repair and for the past few hours haven't been doing much except searching for problems and fixing problems.

    I tried to cancel it but it would hang, resulting in a forced restart.

    I tried loading from the Recovery Disc, but every time I select the OS and to view the recovery options, it goes straightaway to Startup Repair. I would wish to choose System Restore.

    Not too sure if this is linked, but the only downloads I did yesterday were the Windows Updates for June.

    Anybody can offer some help? I can't get to the login screen. Just Startup Repair and restarts and Startup Repairs.

    In the meantime I'm downloading another Repair Disc ISO to try. But i appreciate any help given!

    Thanks

    Can't.

    I tried booting into safe mode
    Booting into safe mode with network

    But both still lead me straight to Repair Disc.

    I tried another Recovery Disc ISO but still the same result.

    I suggest a system restore from the repair disc to get to a point before the troubles.

    I wish to, but I can't. It automatically goes to Startup Repair and I can't select system restore.

    what would that software do for me? would it allow me to log in or to repair win 7 without losing any of my files?

    I'm sorry, forgot that you couldn't make it to safe mode or networking

    yea, no worries.

    I'm only stuck with the Startup Repair tool. Hoping to use command prompt to launch system restore though.

    sighhh. anything to get my com back running, and not lose any files.

    when i boot from disc, i click repair computer, and then it comes to a dialog box and automatically searches for windows versions. Only windows 7 is there and when i check the 'use recovery tools...' and click next, it automatically loads the startup repair tool. it doesnt allow me to view any other options like system restore etc
