Just a while ago my server had just encountered what most windows 7, windows vista, NT, W2K, W2K3 or W2K8 users that been figuring out for a very long time – the black screen of death.
Speculation arises that this problem might have caused by a faulty memory module, windows update, malware or virus infected operating system. There were no definite conclusion for what causes the problem but most user had the same battle against the windows black screen – how to fix it.
In my scenario, it might have been a kind of virus that triggers windows black screen. I can’t be certain what kind of virus that causes my computer to blackout, no desktop, no taskbar and no sidebars. It is completely gone, however I could still be able to open up task manager by pressing CTL-ALT-DEL but accessing drives does not work.
I tried to go safe mode but the same thing happen, windows is totally blackout or nothing to see when it supposedly loads up my desktop item.
So how did I fix it?
I was able to fix it using the RESTORE tool on windows 7 operating system.
Other way around that I found in the internet that most users had found it helpful is by following the procedure below.
1) Restart your PC
2) Logon and wait for the black screen to appear
3) Make sure your PC should be able to connect to the internet (black screen does not appear to affect this)
4) Press the CTRL, ALT and DEL keys simultaneously
5) When you're prompted, Click Start Task Manager
6) In Task Manager Click on the Application Tab
7) Next Click New Task
8) Now enter the command:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "http://info.prevx.com/download.asp?GRAB=BLACKSCREENFIX"
Note this command assumes that you are using internet explorer as your browser, if not substitute your browser path and file details for those of iexplore.exe or use the Browser option of Task manager to locate it.
9) Click OK and your browser should start up and begin the download process
10) When prompted for the download Click run, the black screen fix program will download and run to automatically fix the issue.
11) Now restart your PC and the black screen problem will hopefully be gone.
I hope this help solve your windows blackout or black screen problem. If you have anything to say please use the comment box.
