Black screen after installation
Hey guys, I'm having a massive problem here.. I'm installing Windows 7 BETA 64x Build 7600 with a 4.7GB DVD but once it gets to the 'finishing installation' part it seemingly reboots (I think?) to continue with the install but the thing is at this point in time for me the screen goes blank and all I see is the cursor which I can move around. If I power it off and then turn it back on the loading screen comes up but when I get to the log on screen the same thing happens again.
The exact same thing happens to me with Vista. I installed it like three times (the difference is on Vista it gets past the install but still won't get past the logon screen so I can never shut down, restarting is fine though for some reason) and I'm being forced to roll back to 64-bit XP which to be honest I really really don't want (no offense XP users, XP 32-bit is okay actually but 64-bit really is an unloved child)
So far I've deducted that it's not the DVDs. Another guy said it might be the RAM but I replaced both temporarily and that didn't work either.
Does anyone have ANY idea what's going on? I'll pay 1,000,000,000 internets to the man who works out what's wrong.
But really thank you in advance for any replies.
