Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

How can I fix a Windows 7 PC that boots to a black screen with only the cursor visible, even in Safe Mode and after trying to restore RegBack files?

Try restoring Windows from the installation/recovery environment, and if that does not work, use the Sticky Keys path to open Control Panel and start System Restore to the last working point [#13832802] [#14613070] If you can get Task Manager with Ctrl+Alt+Del, start FRST and collect the logs for diagnosis [#13832751] From the recovery console, you can also run `sfc /scannow`; one reply notes it may report that a pending system repair requires a reboot to complete [#13832854] Another reported workaround is to press F8 at startup and choose the 640x480 video option, which may bring the picture back [#14517697] If none of these work, the thread suggests the problem may remain unresolved and the system may need reinstalling/formatting [#13833306]

    Hello,

    There is a computer running Windows 7.
    After loading, there is only a black screen and a cursor visible.
    Successfully accessed the system repair menu with the in-drive DVD, but it is not possible to repair the system. Safe mode also has a black screen and a cursor.
    I tried to fix with this method:

    1. Burn a bootable CD with any NTFS reading system - I chose Linux

    2. Find the C: \ Windows \ System32 \ config \ RegBack directory and copy all files to the C: \ Windows \ System32 \ config directory.

    3. Restart the computer.

    However, nothing helped, is there any way to solve it?

    Boot from the Windows 7 installation disc and use System Restore, if you haven't already done so.

    I can boast that I had it and after 3 days of fighting I did the format :D
    Today I know what I would try - run the recovery console from the installation CD and type:
    sfc / scannow

    As I wrote, the safe mode is also lying and squeaking ... in a moment I will try to do the command given by you ;)


    After typing this command, I have:

    Initiating a system scan. This process will take some time.

    There is a pending system repair that requires a reboot to complete. Restart Windows and restart sfc.

    However, still the same pops up mimes rebooting, you can see the format remains ...

    I'm not sure if the update is installed.
    It was basically a computer turned off and then a black screen turned on :(
    Tomorrow I will check these commands, today I don't have a second monitor to switch anymore :(

    EDIT:
    I don't have the strength to do it, that's why the format is flying :(
    Thank you for your time.

    Hello
    I have this problem at home and I wanted to ask my friend safbot1st so that he would give me the commands he sent to my colleague above for execution, maybe they will help me with something.
    I did what I write in this post and I have the same message at the end: there is a pending system repair ..., the bumper won't turn on either.

    I found a solution on the net on a foreign forum, tried on my friend's laptop, because he brought me something like that and it worked. Has Win7 Ultimate installed. (abbreviated translated)

    1. Press shift several times until the Sticky Keys popup appears.
    2. Press the link in the window (the Accessibility tab opens, part of the Control Panel)
    3. Press Cancel, and enter the Control Panel.
    4. Select Action Center or System and Security (depending on the view) -> "Restore computer system ..."
    5. We choose the last working one.
    6. We are waiting, the computer reset and the elevator should get up. (On mine it helped)

    @ himek666 the author of the thread already wrote that restoring did not help.

    He wrote, unfortunately he has already reinstalled the system. For me, that helped, and not from the board, but normally from the system. Maybe it will be useful to someone.

Topic summary

LABEL_AI_GENERATED
A user is experiencing a black screen issue on a Windows 7 computer, where only the cursor is visible after loading. Attempts to repair the system via the installation DVD and Safe Mode have been unsuccessful. The user tried copying registry files from a Linux bootable CD but to no avail. Suggestions from other users include using the Task Manager to run diagnostic tools, performing a System Restore from the installation disc, and running the command "sfc /scannow" from the recovery console. One user shared a workaround involving the Sticky Keys feature to access the Control Panel and restore the system, but the original poster indicated that restoring did not help. Ultimately, the user is considering formatting the system due to persistent issues.
