    Windows 10 blinking screen from clean install


    Good morning all.


    I have a Samsung NP300E5A S03 (i5-2430M, Nvidia GT520MX + Intel 3000 Graphics, 6Gb RAM).


    A few months ago I tried to upgrade it to W10, but the installation said something about software incompatibilities and asked for a fresh install. I don't remember what exactly it said and decided not to pursue it because I had no time to clone the disk at the moment.


    This weekend I decided to try it, so I replaced the hard drive with a blank one and made a W10 install USB pen using the latest Media Creation Tool. (I've removed the DVD to install a second hard drive bay).


    It booted into the USB pen and started installing without a problem. But when I came back a few minutes later, the screen was blinking. dark/bright every second or so. Nothing to be read. No mouse pointer. No response to keys. The HDD light was randomly flashing, so I assumed it was still working and left it, but half an hour later it was still the same.

    The only thing that worked was the power button. It turned the laptop off immediately. I removed the USB pen drive and it booted into the blinking again.

    I tried F8 upon restarting to get into failsafe mode or something like that, but it didn't work.


    I decided to repeat the installation, wiping the partition and everything, but it happened again.

    Fortunately, after replacing the drive with the original one, it went back to its normal W7.


    What could be causing this behavior? Will I be able to install W10 on it?


    Thank you very much.

    :)

  3. Clean Install Workaround for Vista

    You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:
    • Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
    • When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
    • Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
    • When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
    • This time enter your product key
    • When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
    • Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it
    Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
