  1. Computer screen startup is black screen with a blue loading circle


    Turned on my computer this morning to a black screen with a spinning blue wheel, but there are no updates scheduled and nothing is updating. It won't let me move from this screen, what do I do now? I tried to log in as an administrator, but it isn't recognizing my password of which I never set so there is that as well

  2. Computer Startup - Black Screen with Blue Loading circle

    2 days ago I was playing Arma 3 when suddenly the game crashed, shortly after the entire computer crashed and showed one of the many infamous “blue screens”. My computer has been regularly blue screening and I have yet to find the reason as to why. My
    computer then went to restart and will only load into a black screen with a blue loading circle. I have tried turning it off and on and itll just keep loading into a black screen. Sometimes the windows will prompt and give me the Advanced Options and other
    options. I even tried reseting the pc both ways(keeping personal files and deleting personal files) and it will begin the process then say something along the lines of “Your pc has failed reseting”. I am now sitting here looking at a black screen with little
    idea as to what to do. Can anyone offer some guidance?

  3. My Computer Freezes at a Black Screen With Circling Dots

    When I tried to enter Safe Mode with msconfig, the sign-in stopped at Windows circling dots on a black screen. It said my computer didn't load or sign in proprly and went to the blue repair screens. I tried repair startup, Chkdsk C (colon) /f /r,
    starting from the hard drive and the Operating System ISO file and two System Restores, but only got a please wait and then a black screen.

    What brand/model laptop is this?

    Try the following:

    Step 1: Make sure the computer is shut down, and press the Power Button to turn the computer on.

    Step 2: As soon as you see the rotating loading circle, press and hold the Power Button until the computer shuts off again.

    Step 3: Repeat this process 2 or 3 times until you see the following on the screen: Preparing Automatic Repair
    Let the computer boot to the Automatic Repair screen.

    Step 4: The next screen (blue) goes to: Choose Account to continue
    Select your account, enter your Password, and press: Continue

    Step 5: A Diagnosing your PC screen appears, and it takes you to the screen for: Automatic Repair

    Step 6: Here you can click Restart, or, Advanced Options
    Step 6.1: Select: Restart

    Allow the computer to go through the routine, and see if it solves the issue.

    If the problem still exists, go back to Step 1 through Step 6.

    Step 6.2: This time, click: Advanced Options

    Step 7: In the Choose an Option screen, select: Troubleshoot

    Step 8: At the next screen, select: Advanced Options

    Step 9: Last, select: Startup Repair (Used for problems that keep Windows 10 from loading)
