    Windows 10 and thr infamous black screen of death...again...with perhaps a twist..


    I have a fairly beefy PC running windows 10. This morning on start up I found that the welcome screen would be displayed for a fraction of a second before a black screen with just the mouse cursor visable was displayed. Being fairly new to windows 10 running it since Feb I went on-line to find the solution..I tried to do a cont-alt-delete which did not appear to do anything..A bit of expermentation revealed that unpluging the mouse would result in a normal welcome screen being displayed and I could log in as normal-the instant the mouse was plugged in the black screen would return and the ma

    Windows 7 black screen of death

    I read a report a little while ago that said the black screens were nothing to do with updates but due to a malicious program (it hit more than just windows 7 users - vista, xp and 2000 were also prone to the black startup screen of death if infected). My windows 7 install is fully up-to-date and i've never had the black startup screen.

    Just run some decent anti virus and you should be safe (i suggest microsoft security essentails since it's free and pretty decent). When you've installed an anti-virus i'd suggest doing a full scen to be sure there's nothing there.

    Black screen after 'Starting Windows' sequence

    Sounds like the old... windows black screen of death.

    Try this quoted from "VisiHow" article "Repair Windows 7 Black Screen of Death":

    They, also, have some other options there, too.
    Google search and you will find a lot of the "Windows Black Screen of Death with cursor" fixes.

    Windows 7 black screen of death

    NO! That is not my problem. I used the link and the computer displayed again that black screen of death :'(
    Anyway it has nth to do with sleep or screen saver. I just restart it and than again it appears the "STARTING WINDOWS" screen. If the black of death happens than it stayies like that for hours without responding. A friend of mine had the same problem, but he could pass through the black of death because he has a much more powerful computer than mine. Anyway, i dunno the answer :S
