[SOLVED] Windows 7 Loads to a black screen. Whats the - Microsoft Answers

Non, I can't do anything at all. The screen is just BLACK after pressing on the turn on button. Nothing comes up at all. I can't even try to reinstall windows, because nothing appear after inserting to cd-rom.

i have the same problem...last night after my laptop rebooted after Microsoft updates i received a black screen, nothing else....can't even boot into save mode. When i hook the laptop up to a external monitor screen is severely distorted. Laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P 100 running windows 7 32 bit

Try disabling the display adapter in safe mode.

I can't...the black screen comes up right after boot up, and when i hook it up to the external monitor the screen is so distorted that it is nearly impossible to click on anything. My husband told me that a friend of his ended up with the same problem after yesterdays updates.

My computer used to run on linux. Apparently I changed to windows 7, and THIS happened

We are having the same issue. After the latest Windows Updates (Jan 2012) were installed on our Toshiba Laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium, the PC will not boot. We only receive a black screen with a flashing dash (aka: the cursor) and the only other screen that will display is a boot menu. Does anyone know what is going on with this latest update?

Note that I also have a homemade PC (MSI mobo w/ AMD P6 CPU & 1 GB RAM) running Windows XP SP3 and I also had problems with this Windows Update on that machine on Wednesday (Jan 11, 2012). It locked the PC during download and then locked the PC _twice_ after installation trying to restart. After the second hard shutdown the PC came up ok and runs as expected (Thank God!).

Please someone tell us what is going on here!!!
