Screen is black after starting windows screen
I'm pretty stumped here, this first happened after I was playing fallout 3 for a couple hours on my laptop and restarted the computer. On restart, after the "starting windows" screen I got a BSOD with bug check string SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION bug check code 0x0000003b..
After a couple times restarting and fishing around in safe mode, the BSOD is just replaced by a black screen. The keys and wireless work because the wifi light is on, and I can use the keys with my memory to turn the PC off even though I cant see anything...
I tried uninstalling graphics drivers with DDU in safe mode and I can boot in with windows basic, until I reinstall my drivers and restart the computer and I get the black screen again...
Might be worth mentioning I can swap hard drives with another HP notebook that share the same SATA connector. And they have no issues inter-operating...right now I am typing this from the computer that has the graphics issue, but with the HDD from the other notebook I don't use. It installed and runs all the drivers with no issues. And vice versa with the HDD in the other notebook
