Black Screen Of Death, and No System Restore (LogonUI)
Hey everyone,
I'm new to these forums but I really hope you can help me.
I've got a PC with an Asus motherboard that isn't too old (Maybe 2 years?)
and today I've run into some serious issues that I've never even heard of before.
So I booted up my computer this morning as I do every morning and it came up with a red box
that said something about a logonui error and CHKDSK.
(I'm sorry I can't remember exactly what it said, I was a bit shocked and hit OK without thinking)
Anyway, so after I clicked ok on this box the screen stayed black, just with my mouse cursor on the screen.
So after a while of waiting I decided to just hit the reset button on my computer. Then I think was the CHKDSK
thing started doing something with all of my files, there was a lot of white text filling the screen and every
couple of lines it would say the word CHKDSK.
This went on for quite a long time so I thought maybe it was sorting itself out. Safe to say it did not.
The black screen of death came back with just my little mouse cursor.
I did a little bit of online looking around and a lot of people suggested doing system recoveries and stuff so
I dug out my Windows disc that came with the computer and popped it in and hit F8 so I could boot it up.
When i selected System recovery it seemed to be doing it but after a while the box would just disappear and nothing would happen.
So it seems that I can't get past the black screen of death and even with the Windows Disc I can't perform any
kind of system recovery.
Has anybody got any kind of help for me? It'd be really, really appreciated.
Thanks
