Same as John, Steve, G, safe mode comes up and visible, but it doesnt let me do anything in safemode as the installation has not finished, and it forces a restart.

I am a developer myself, and I think its shambles, what are you up to at MS, why dont you build stuff modular and logically (if u did, why would safe mode display something). Geee

i also experienced black screen after upgraded my dell computer from vista business to window 7 pro.

The problem is like this:
1. turn on your computer >>>
2. DIOS post >>>
3. 4 glowing sparkles fade in and “starting windows” under it. >>>
4. black screen, it does not boot to window log in screen.

try this to solve it:
1. go to your computer manufacturer’s website to update the following drivers for window 7:

2.DIOS driver;
3.Monitor driver;
4.Video driver;

at the time of writing this post, it works for me, i have turned on and off 4 times, there is no black screen.

by the way, when you update DIOS, you have to wait 10 minutes for the system to complete.

i experienced the same black screen issue after attempting to install win7 ultimate. seems it doesn’t like having two monitors plugged intot he graphics card. I had to unplug the monitor that was using the dvi side of the card. after that the log on screen appeared.

after i finished the installation, there is no issues with having both screens plugged in

I have been trying to install Windows 7 for a month now. We have used beta RC1 and a full copy, clean install and upgrade all have the same problem.
I have an Radeon 4650 Graphics card BRAND NEW. If it is in the mother board i get to the last part of the set up and nothing just a black screen. The mouse shows up on the background but that’s it.
If I pull the card out and plug the monitor into the MoBo video and it works perfect. I downloaded the drivers put card back in booted into safe mode nothing. Take the card out install the drivers put card back in nothing.

Please help

Hey, I was having a “blank screen after install” issue too. Unnplugged all my USB devices and the HDMI cable going to my TV. Booted up perfectly fine now and finished install.

Same problem as above (John & Steve), though I did manage to get it to install and boot a few times on the first install before the problem manifested itself. Subsequent attempts at install have the same no video signal after Windows 7 logo boot (and thereby not being able to get into safe mode to try this solution). Only one monitor, tried both of the dual outputs.
