Test delta farvater. My system will only boot correctly if I enable VGA mode. On a regular boot the OEM logo comes up, then the Windows logo, but after that I only get a black screen.
How to fix Dead Space 2 Crashes, Black Screen and other issues As strange as this might sound, if you have an USB controller (pedals, controller, anything) plugged in, it might make the game not work and crash. Jan 29, 2013 follow these steps to fix the bug 1. Open the dead space 2 folder where the game is installed [most probably it is in c:/programfiles 2. Then open joypad.txt 3. Delete everything written in it.
Windows tries to set the display to its configured settings right after displaying the Windows logo, and just before displaying the login screen or desktop. Nine times out of ten if that’s when your display stops, it’s simply because your display settings are set to something that your monitor can’t handle. Depending on what it’s not supporting, some monitors respond by going black others just go “crazy” displaying unintelligible gibberish. If that’s the problem, it’s fairly easy to fix. Become a and go ad-free! First things first let’s get you a bootable system. Boot in safe mode – press F8 when the Windows loader presents you with the 30 second list of choices, and then select “Safe Mode” as your boot option. Right click on the desktop and click Properties, and then on the Settings tab.
Now click and drag the Screen Resolution slider to the far left you want the smallest settings that your screen will support. Typically that’ll be 640×480, or 800×600. Also change the Color Quality dropdown to 256 colors, or whatever is lowest. (You probably don’t need to go as low as 16 colors, if that’s presented as an option.) Now, click on the Advanced button, and then the Monitor tab of the resulting.
Change the Screen refresh rate to 60 Hertz. OK your way back out, and your machine. If these setting were the source of the problem, it should now be able to boot normally. You may not like the screen settings, but at least you now have a place to start. Start experimenting with the settings to see what does, and does not, work with your monitor. If the display is still blank or gibberish, the my recommendation is to once again boot into Safe Mode, possibly Safe Mode with networking, and update your video display drivers. It’s likely that they are incorrect or otherwise broken. A place to start start what?
Start experimenting with the settings to see what does, and does not, work with your monitor. I tend to start with the screen resolution. Once again right click on the desktop and click Properties, then Settings, and then drag the Screen Resolution slider a notch or two to the right to increase your display resolution. Now click Apply. It should change the resolution and display a small message box asking if you want to accept this setting. If you don’t respond within some time, it assumes you can’t see it, so it resets to the previous setting.
The lesson here? If the screen goes blank or you can’t read it, wait at least one minute before doing anything.
The problem may resolve itself, and you’ll be able to say “well, that resolution doesn’t work”, and move on to try another. If, after a full minute or more the screen remains blank or unreadable, you’ll have to reboot into safe mode, as we did originally, to restore your setting.
(Why might this happen? Windows “remembers” and doesn’t bother to ask you if you reset to something that you previously said worked. If you mistakenly said “this works” when it didn’t perhaps by random keyboarding while the display was blank well, that could be how we got here in the first place.) You can repeat this process of trial and error for each of the screen resolution, the color depth and the screen refresh rate. (For CRT displays, you really do want the refresh rate to be as high as your monitor supports.).
• - Windows 10 made adjusting the size of items on your display much easier. • - Changing the background image of the Windows 8 lock screen is relatively easy, though it does require a short trip into the registry. • - A black screen on your computer can mean several things. A black screen is most commonly a screen saver, but there are other possibilities. • - It is common to use an external screen, or even a projector with a laptop. More than likely you can set up your TV using the same connectors. Posted: January 23, 2006 in: Shortlink: TAGS.
I was working on a Dell E6400 laptop that had a good LCD function in the BIOS and at the Dell splash screen but when booting into Windows the screen would go black like the inverter was bad or the back light wasn’t working. I have never had a bad LCD do this. Usually if it is bad in the BIOS (flash light test, you can shine a light on the LCD and see images on the screen, means bad back light) then of course the LCD is bad. But when it is good in the BIOS or splash screen it is usually a driver or a software issue. Well this E6400 was giving me a fit.
