    A few times recently my computer didnt boot into windows..

    A few times it booted to black screen with 'ctrl+alt+del restart'..
    No other info was on screen..

    I hit the keys and the system restarted and booted into the desktop..
    There was one time when I did this and it returned to the black screen with ctrl+alt+del restart , but the restart again then booted into windows
    This has happened a few times over the last 2 or 3 weeks

    One other time windows was about to boot as it shows the blue window and then the spinning dots just prior to booting into windows... well the blue windows stuck on screen for a few mins and i had to to a hard reset of the desktop and it restarted into desktop

    One time before booting into windows I got a message saying scanning C for errors but it was only on screen briefly before windows desktop opened.

    I ran right click on C drive >properties> Check >Error Checking on C... but it didnt find any errors..

    What could the problem be ?
    Any advice is welcome.. thanks

    :)

    CTRL ALT DEL Black Screen

    Hi there, whenever my PC crashes (mainly during games) and I try to CTRL ALT DEL, I get to a black screen with just a cursor and am forced to shut down my PC. Any way I can fix this?

    Duplicate thread : Ctrl + Alt + Del Black Screen requires HDMI unplug/replug.

    When my PC crashes and I try to Ctrl + Alt + Del I get a black screen. Unplugging the HDMI and putting it back in brings back my screen but this isn't great as my desktop icons rearrange. Is the a proper fix for the black screen issue? Thanks.

    black screen Ctrl+Alt+Del

    Ctrl Alt Del, Vista

    The whole Ctrl+Shift+Esc should be used to get that crazy screen with those options and Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring up TM.
