    Can't use laptop after installing Windows 10
    « on: September 02, 2015, 12:32:12 AM »
    After installing Windows 10, I get a blank screen. It worked fine for a day, but I started having problems with the internet, so I tried rebooting. After that, the Windows icon shows and then it goes blank. I tried starting it in safe mode, but was unable to.

    I also try getting help from Microsoft forum, but their advice didn't help and then they stopped responding.

    Microsoft Forum:
    Method 1:         
    Try connecting to different video outputs on the PC. Sometimes a change in driver can cause the video to be sent:
    a) To a different Adapter: from integrated graphics to a discrete card or vice versa.
    b) To a different output: from HDMI to DVI, DisplayPort to VGA, or any other combination.
    If the issue persists then follow the below method.
    Method 2:
    Try to boot into Safe Mode with Networking or Enable low-resolution video and check.
    Please refer the below link to start the computer in Safe mode.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-safe-mode
    Note: The steps for Windows 8.1 applies to Windows 10.
    a) Advanced boot options, Safe Mode with Networking, or Low Resolution Video
    b) Check Device Manager and look for Display Adapters
    > If you see 2 items under Display Adapters, disable to integrated video card (e.g. Intel HD 4000 or AMD Radeon HD 4200) and restart. (Try vice versa if it does not work)
    > If you see 1 item under Display Adapters, rollback the driver or uninstall the display adapter in Device Manager, and enable the option to delete driver software.
    If the issue persists then, I suggest you to check the PC or display adapter in the manufacturer’s site for an updated driver.
    Reference: Refer to the following Wiki article created by Suzy_G on Windows 10 Install and Upgrade Top Solutions.
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki/windows_10-windows_install/windows-10-install-and-upgrade-top-solutions/a59d8a6a-18da-417b-93a6-7b6ab4d03896

      Hi,

      I know everyone is busy, but if you could help me it truly would be appreciated. I'm very desperate.

      I can't work. Thank you.

      When  you say you are unable to boot to safe mode, exactly what happens when you try?

        The Windows logo comes up and then it goes black.

        download memtest (http://memtest.org/). Burn it to a cd using a dedicated .iso burning utility (http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm), make sure the cd drive is at the top of the boot order in bios, then boot to the newly created cd and run the utility.
