    Windows 10 install blank screen/flashing cursor


    Starting off, a few months back I upgraded my ram sticks from 8 gb 4x2 to 16 gb 8x2. After doing that I have the issue of windows not booting from any of my boot devices. I have tried multiple ways which are listed below. Each of these attempts to fix my issue all lead to a blank/black screen with no blinking cursor. None of these experiments have resulted in the spinning dots or any sign of windows booting. Just recently when I tried using this media creation tool I am just giving the blinking cursor in the top left side of my screen. I've waited approx. 5 hours overnight to see if anythi

    Windows 10 install blank screen/flashing cursor

    Windows 10 stuck on blank screen with mouse cursor at boot

    Recently I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10. Everything installed and worked great for few weeks. After 2 or 3 weeks I can't boot to Windows 10 anymore.

    The computer goes thru initial boot and before showing any windows 10 screens (no blue window, no dots etc) gets stuck on blank screen with blinking mouse cursor.

    Per Microsoft engineer who responded to my previous post, I created windows 10 ISO disk. Booted from the disk, got thru the blue windows logo and dancing dots to a "Windows Setup" box with 2 options:



    • 1. Continue with the upgrade (I already upgraded successfully and everything worked for a while)

      2. Perform a clean installation
    Continuing upgrade gets me back to blank screen with blinking cursor.

    I didn't try option 2, clean installation, because I am afraid to loose all my programs etc.

    I installed turbotax after upgrading to win 10, but I don't think turbotax is a problem. I have no problems at all after installing it on another win 10 computer.

    Now I regret upgrading to windows 10. Windows 7 worked perfectly fine.

    Any suggestions how to repair the windows 10?

    Or is there a way to go back to windows 7 without full reinstall?

    Thanks for any help
