    Black Screen on Start with Cursor and Task Bar / Error sound when clicking on the screen


    Hi


    My laptop suddenly had a problem. Upon starting, I am greeted with the usual log in screen. Everything looks normal from there. The problem is after I log in. The screen is just black, with the cursor and task bar available. And every time I click on my desktop, I hear an error sound. Everything else seems to be working. I can run applications, I just can't see it. I know it runs because if I click Alt + Tab, I see all the apps running. But the screen itself is just black. After 5 minutes or so, it fixes itself and is back to normal, I guess. I'm not great with computers, but this has never occurred to me before and am fairly certain that this is a problem, and I want to fix it. I've tried doing a clean boot, but that didn't work. I tried uninstalling my display drivers, that didn't work as well. And I've tried system restore with no luck too. Most notable change I did before this was do the shutdown timer command. I did that before I slept to have my laptop shutdown after a game download.

    That's all the information I can offer. Not sure what the problem is, but any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Black screen with cursor and flashing task bar

    Hello.

    I was using my laptop as usual, but suddenly, the wallpaper turned black and my task bar disappeared. Think restarting would help, I held the power button to turn it off, and I turned it back on. I noticed my custom cursor was changed back to default. Weird.
    It had the normal log in screen, so I logged in. There was a black screen with only my cursor (back to custom) and a flickering task bar that I can not use. I cant get the search bar up by pressing the windows key.

    So then I tried to boot windows using the boot manager (f12) , and it told me that windows couldn’t launch properly, so I should either restart it or do advanced troubleshooting. Restarting gives me the same results.

    help!

    Multiple bsod errors and black screen with cursor on start up


    I know it says to install and run the program in the sticky but i can't get into windows

    PC has been running fine until recently. I have been getting occasional random BSOD errors over the last few days which I didn't think much about, but today I started getting a lot of them, occurring a few minutes after boot. After a few restarts I then started getting a black screen with cursor when the login screen should appear. The jingle still sounds. Some of the BSOD errors I wrote down.

    Bad pool header
    PFN corrupt
    Memory management
    0xc000021a

    The black screen will not respond to CTRL ALT DEL etc. I tried following steps on some posts to enter password blind by pressing space /ctrl but this does not work for me. The screen stays on indefinitely.

    I have also tried chkdsk on C drive. No errors. I tried system restore, but it says I have no checkpoints. I thought I did have it switched on but I guess not.
    I tried start up repair but it says it cannot fix the problem. I don't have a system image either (I know, I'm a fool). I tried safe mode and low res mode. Same black screen just with a larger cursor.

    Apart from reinstalling windows again, i can't think of any other things to try.

    Any help would be appreciated.
