• PC gets past loading screen but gets stuck on a black screen with a blinking dash
    1 replies, posted
Just recently I ran into trouble with my PC, when it turns on I get the usual loading screen but stops on a black blank screen with a blinking dash in the upper left corner. There isn't much I can think of to fix this without reforming it, control-Alt-Del just cause the PC to reset, I have no access to my desktop, the disc that came with it won't run, and the F9 and F12 options don't help me much Anyway I can fix this without reformatting the whole thing?
First thing you should do is remove any USB sticks/storage, CDs and floppy disks then try to boot. Depending on how your BIOS settings are configured these can make your computer hang on startup. If that doesn't work what happens when you try to get into safe mode?
