Black Screen With Blinking Cursor - when the computer is turned on - No Boot Situation

February 26th, 2009 bala Leave a comment Go to comments

When you turn on the computer if you get Black screen with blinking cursor on the top left corner, then it could be a problem with the display adapter.

To diaganose, Reboot the computer and start tapping F8 continuously as soon you see the manufacturer name on the screen.
Select Safemode
Choose the operating system and boot to the desktop
Right Click My Computer -> Properties
Click Hardware Tab -> Device Manager
Look for Display adapter on the list and disable it
Close all the window and reboot the computer in the regular mode

If you able to get in to desktop on the regular mode, go to Device Manager and enable the display adapter.

Right click on the display adapter and click uninstall.
Reboot the computer (It should automatically reinstall the driver)

Issue will be fixed. If it is not then install the display driver from the manufacturer website

    The first thing you should ask is “what version of MicroSloth are you using?” All types of advice is available for this. The best fix is to remove all unused programs from your MS based computer. From Windows 2k to XP you should go to the control panel, add/remove programs and see what’s there. If you’re not sure what the program does, open a browser window and google it. If you still have questions, ask them.

    For me it shows in system instead of system32 (the application of DLL C:\windows\system\mcenspc.dll is not valid windows image. Please check this against your installatoin diskette)

    I removed the file from both the location and it stopped producing the error..
