If you have experienced a Windows 7 black screen of death, then you might be facing a serious problem. When this happens, all you see is a black desktop on your monitor, nothing else. It would seem that all your programs, shortcuts and files are gone but they aren't. They are just sitting in your computer. The problem is the interface can't load properly due to errors in your system.
What made your Windows 7 screen black are some invalid registry keys, possibly due to malware tinkering with your system files. It might also be cause by some obsolete software you have that replaced your registry entries with older versions. Before you grab that Windows 7 disc from your cabinet and reinstall, read this short guide that will help you fix black screen problems on your PC.
1. Restart the computer and log on. Wait for the black screen to show up. 2. Connect to the Internet. The black screen problem does not seem to affect your Web connection as far as we know, but do check if you can connect. 3. Hit Ctrl, Alt and Del at the same time to bring out the Task Manager. 4. Click the Application Tab and select New Task. 5. Enter this command: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "http://info.prevx.com/download.asp?GRAB=BLACKSCREENFIX". This command will use Internet Explorer to download the fix. 6. Click OK and wait for your browser to launch. 7. When prompted, click on Run and the fix should automatically download and run on your computer. 8. Restart to check if your PC is fixed.
If the above procedure doesn't seem to get your computer going, try getting a registry cleaner to put your system registry back in its place. As said earlier, the problem stems from incorrect registry entries so once the cleaner files and sorts your registry and fixes all the errors, your system should be back to normal.
Now you know how to fix black screen issues in your computer. Even if you are lucky enough to have not yet experienced the dreaded Windows 7 black screen of death, better pack a registry cleaner in your system and have it scan your computer regularly to avoid getting your Windows 7 screen black.
