Problem with black screen and spinning cursor upon startup.
Problem with black screen and spinning cursor upon startup.
When i turn my PC on, I see a black screen with a spinning cursor. I have turned my computer off and on more than twenty times already. I attempted to uninstall the latest updates and feature updates through advanced options, but it didn’t help. I tried system restore, but that also failed. I enabled safe mode, but I encountered a blue screen stating an issue. I managed to access BIOS, though I’m not sure what to do next. I downloaded the newest Nvidia graphics card driver the night before and it worked fine, but now I can’t get in when I open my computer.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
From what you've explained, it's possible that either your OS is corrupt or your storage with the OS on it is faulty/failing. Have you tried getting into recovery environment with a bootable USB installer?
Checking the system details is complete. For installation, you can use a USB drive with Windows 11 and follow the BIOS steps to load the OS.
all the details are given in a general way. Please list the specific makes and models of your components. If you're not committed to sharing basic specifications, you're unlikely to receive meaningful assistance from those who care about helping you properly.
