Acer Aspire Model: M5641 Will not boot to windows. It crashed on me, and I re-started it, to no avail.
Gets to the startup screen, then I select to Start Windows Normally, and the screen goes black no matter how long I leave it there.
Same with running a system recovery.
Hard drive isn't the problem, I've checked it a few times.
Should I restart the mobo? I'm not entirely sure what to do at this point, I've been messing around with it for a few hours, but haven't gotten anything except a headache.
Boot from CD/DVD Drive with windows installation disk and do a repair
when the computer starts up tap f8 until you get several menu options.
the top option should be 'repair my computer', you should now have a
very basic log in window which has your username, (if you have no
password just press enter). now you should have several options of
recovering or repairing your PC. the most successful so far is a normal
windows restore which takes the computer back a few days, i would
recommend a week to 2 weeks if available. once completed this should
get rid of the 'black screen of death'. once logged on run command
prompt with administrative properties then type in 'sfc /scannow' this
will hoefully find anything else which is currupt. i have found the
main reason for this is actually vista's own way of performing
better... on most people with this problem i spoke to had an option
enabled on the hard drive by default : 'Enable write caching on the
disk' : 'this setting improves disk performance, but a power outage or
equipment failure might result in data loss or curruption' this option
can be found by going into device manager - find your primary hard
drive, right click, properties, policies. this is the closest ive found
to a cause of this 'black screen of death'
I can,t see it being problem with power supply. Try disconnesting one drive etc. at a time and booting system and if system boots then disconnected device is where fault will be. If u disconnect main drive required to boot windows simply put install disk in drive and hit F12 on starting system and select to boot from CD. Hope this solves problem for you m8.

I am having the same problem. Tried everything, still no luck. Did you ever fix this issue?

Tried that, Gomar, no luck.
Gave it another shot, still no dice. Comp goes to the black screen even when I go to repair it. I'm gonna try out a new power supply tomorrow, and see how that works out. Thanks, man.
