    Shut down with a bootable CD + Black Screen

    Hi,

    From more than a year, I can't boot with a bootable CD without praying for God.
    It becomes dramatic.

    My laptop shut down unexpectedly when doing a memory test, after 4 minutes.
    I tried several times.

    On the other hand, I have a KSOD issue from one year or more that it could be linked to the firs issue (see at the top):

    - KSOD before the 'Welcome' screen where all accounts appearing: user account, admin account, guest account...
    - KSOD when logging into my user and/or admin account (before appearing the dekstop)
    - KSOD when I switch into another account, ie, from my user account to admin account (KSOD during more than 15sec)
    - KSOD when closing my account

    Let me know if you or someone here in this forum, could help me to fix this issue. Let me know where I can submit on this forum.

    I disabled my drivers one by one on Bios and on the Device Manager to find the culprit, but I couldn't find anything: Black screen is always appeared.

    I have the latest drivers, checked with the manufacturer Fujitsu Siemens site, even if they don't make any update since 2008.

    PS: Six months ago, I formatted my HD (low-level format) and reinstall with the manufacturer Installation DVD, but this haven't solved my troubles.

    Thanks for your help !

    Welcome Back

    There are several causes for a black screen. First, back up your stuff.
    Now test the hard drive.

    Test Hard Drive

    Harddrive scan usings SeaTools - SeaToolsfor Windows | Seagate - Both long and shorttests
    If you pass, go to search by the start button, type device manager. In device manager, update the drivers for your CD drives.

    If youpass there are many other causes. Here is a list and what to try.
    DO NOT try anything that you do not understand as you may cause other problems. I would be very CAREFUL with the suggestions that involve registry as this can indeed cause serious problems, unless you are proficient in that area.


    Roundup of Vista

    Hi Rich

    Do I have to test my HDD firstly before 'Roundup of Vista' ?

    SeeTools does it work for any type of HDD, any brand ?

    Am looking at your Windows Updates. You have no updates for 2010 and 2011. What happend that may have caused you to lose or not receive updates?

    SeaTools is suppose to work with any HD.
    Test HD first.

    Be sure that you heed my warnings about Rounup, especially concerning the registry.

    I did the 'Upgrade' with a Vista SP2 as you told me in the other post.

    'Don't get the latest updated for installation' was unchecked.
