Hi Leslie,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with black screen issue on Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



This issue might occur if display adapter is corrupt.

To assist you better, please provide us the information below:

• When you say that "7 home edition in and trying f2 and then f12 I am receiving error", is the black issue occur only when you click on the function keys on the computer?
• What is the current status of the computer? Are you able to boot normally to Windows 7?

I suggest you to perform the steps provided in the Microsoft Help Article and check if it helps.

No CMOS Setup with F2 no boot select with F12

Hello first thank you, this is an odd problem, with no real place to be put.

I have chosen BSOD because, I think it will have the best chance for success.

I have a

GT70 2PE(Dominator Pro Dragon)-1885US, MSI I7 Gaming Laptop with a GTX880

Using a dual boot with Linux I have messed up something with the UEFI bios or NVRAM


I initially added 3 crucial 256G SSD and created a super raid partition via the F2 bios setup.

Every was fine, until I started developing in Linux, my MSI was the last to be used, and it was great, the power.

I noticed after a few updates, and customizing of the grub boot, there were multiple additions to the list of possible partition in the F2 setup area that gives the list for the F11 display. I read something about this being a Linux issue, but it later found to happen with windows in UEFI 2.1 or something *Sad

I have tried many things, including remove the battery to reset the CMOS ram,

So I went back to the original setup and ran the original factory recovery disk and still the F2 and F11 function does not work.

Only a cursor appears on a black screen, with no response from the keyboard with either the F2 or F11 key is pressed.

Everything is based on the BCD data point to UEFI drivers in directories, So then I would assume that the F2 and F11 would point to something thus when the factory restore was done it would be recovered, but it is not.

When the problem first occurred, I was able to install a standard hard drive with a factory image on it, and all of a sudden F2 and F11 was working again, I was sure it was a file in one of the UEFI directories, but again something was done in resetting up my system with linux that seems to have lost it forever.

Where does the firmware file reside for the F2 and F11, how does it relate to the UEFI bios, there would be an entry in the BCD data for it.

Besides not having access to F2 the computer works fine.

But how does the new UEFI interact with the F2 key? Can someone point me to some documentation on this, The UEFI spec doesn't exspliciately say anything about F2, only the Windows Boot Loader

Help any ideas,

 

Black screen in Windows 10 dual booted with Ubuntu

Hi Andre,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have been trying to boot into safe mode by powering my system on and off three times. However, I am not able to succeed because it either boots to an indefinitely black screen or in ubuntu. I cannot boot into the Advanced
Recovery environment at all.

I also tried to bring up the System Steup menu by pressing F2 key on startup, as well as the boot menu by pressing F12 key on startup. Both options led me to a black screen.
