Such a simple solution for my problem
Black Screen, Still see cursor though. ALWAYS HAPPENS
12-30-2011
I give my thanks to Greg and dustsailor for toughing it out and attempting to help me also the rest of W7F communityProblem has been an ongoing issue. I have never bother to try to fix it. It only happens to my desktop. It has now been occurring for well over 5 months.
It seems to always appear or show symptoms after my computer is left on for days. The symptom tends to appear around the third day or after. I will come back from work or some other place and i will click around to get the monitor to wake up. I don't make my computer go to hibernate mode or sleep(quite sure i don't make it go to sleep i think i have it set up to turn off the monitor after 15 minutes). The screen will be on just black. I see a flickering mouse cursor on the screen though. just blinking/flickering. Can't see icons or anything else. Only command that does work is CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Brings up that other menu/window screen. I can see it just fine no flickering or anything alike. As soon as i click on any of the options and that screen is gone it does the same once more.
My temporary solution so far has been holding down the power button and shutting it down.
There are more issues that also appear over time when my computer is left on for days.
I hope i am understandable, never been good at describing.
Anyone care to take a crack at it?
I consider myself very knowledgeable on computers so any information you guys need i think i should be able to provide it quick and fast
In addition to following Boohbahs tips I also encountered different search results by changing the sort by options in the drop down list with the "Thread Start Date" option giving me more accurate results to the day I joined. I also had to clear search preferences between each search and each search will only list a maximum of 350 of your posts.
your welcome, the search field for yours were 6 months and older,as you havent been here a year yet.
its gonna be a big party
