After Windows 7 upgrade, System goes to Blank Screen (Vaio Laptop)
I have a VGN-NW265F Sony Vaio Laptop, Windows 7 x64
An upgrade installed and now the system hangs (could be something else, I don't know, but upgrade installed right before hang)
Vaio logo comes up, then repair or start Windows regularly - If start regularly, goes to blank screen
If repair, then the sytem goes to Startup Repair and Searches for problems for hours.
If I F8
Repair, and login as owner, go to system restore, choose a restore point, and click next, system hangs. Don't have a system image or a good backup (My backups always hung. Will make sure I have one from now on)
Had memory checked. Did not change, blank screen
safe mode hangs on black screen, low res video hangs
Using Windows 7 installation disc (borrowed from a friend), the repair option hangs on "Searching for Windows Installations..." and on the other window, I can see it found my windows installation but I can't get to it, because the "Searching for Windows Installtions..." never stops.
If I try to upgrade it tells me that I booted using the installation disc, so take the disc out, restart windows, then put the disc back in to upgrade. The problem is I can't start windows! I just want to repair whatever is going on.
Help? Thanks!
