Black screen when Windows boots!

<< < (6/8) > >>

Shane:
It is possible that Windows simply set the resolution to a size the monitor doesn't support or a refresh rate it doesn't support. So in safe mode change the refresh rate and resolution and then reboot and see if that works :-)

I will try that now. I'll come back in a few mins!

TLG11:
Update: It was all correct with resolution, refresh rate etc. The issue still remains. Should I do a complete driver cleanup and driver sweeper? Maybe that can solve the weird issues. If none of that works I guess the only option is to return the card as faulty.

UPDATE: WHAT?! I let the PC run for a few more minutes to see if Windows loaded normally even without the screen input. Suddenly "Welcome" appears. Everything... boots... I am kind of suprised. I'm confused. Very confused.

Shane:
Sounds like it was just waiting for the drivers to load. Make sure you have the newest drivers :-)

Startup and shutdown has to do with drivers.

Startup - Load all the drivers
Shutdown - Unload all the drivers.

Blank screen then Windows means video driver normally.

TLG11:
So a very possible reason might be a dirty driver install? I suppouse that can be solved.

I will check further after this driver issue is fixed, if the solid color screen freeze on boot remains. It probably didn't happen now because I have been inside BIOS and safe mode a lot. I'll reply when I know. Thanks. :)
