I've tried installing every driver from HP page and still no solution. I've updated the bios and still the same problem. And even conctacted HP and they can't help because it's not there original CD that i'm using. Can anybody please help. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 If its restarting by itself, then you are likely getting a BSOD and not seeing it. First boot with F8 and disable the automatic restart on system failure. And also, set this up:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=130004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPires Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 That's not the problem. The problem is that every time i restart my PC it doesn't boot to windows. It stays in a black screen. But if i turn off the PC and turn it on again it boot's normaly.If its restarting by itself, then you are likely getting a BSOD and not seeing it.

Kotuku Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 A bunch of 'solutions' on this Tech pagehttp://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/747332.htmGoogle "Vista Black Screen at Boot-up" for another load of hits. I would reformat and start again and make sure you leave all peripherals, especially printers unplugged until you are up and running. Make sure the Mother boards drivers are installed. Have SP2 ready and install that as soon as you have it running, rather than doing a bunch of multiple updates via Windows UpdateGood Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
