We ran a typical Satellite A200 battery of tests, including games, applications, and a couple other areas. Time constraints limited the amount of testing we could get done before the NDA lift (and it's already a few hours late), but we will be providing a follow-up article with further testing and information. That said, if there are any specific areas that you'd like to see tested, feel free to e-mail me or leave a comment.

ASUS EeePC 900A- black screen blinking cursor

The hard drive has issues, or the window files are corrupt. I suggest a computer repair store to retrieve files and test hardware.

Can't get into safe mode

Have you tried rapidly tapping F8 as soon as you press the power button or did you just press it once? Dont wait for it to get to the blinking cursor page.

Computer shows Toshiba at first then it goes black. There's a cursor in the left top corner not blinking. Cannot do anything at all. Help! What could it be?! Just had it overhauled in Sept/10.

Sounds like corrupted hard drive. Either physical shock, or even possible virus damage.
Use recovery disk or partion, reload system from scratch.
This will wipe out all exsisting data.

My Toshiba Satellite L455 is starting up showing the Toshiba welcome screen. Then it just goes black with a lone cursor in the top left corner and does nothing. I was hoping you could help.

That is the signal that Windows is missing - it's very corrupted. The only thing you can do is to reinstall it.

That blinking cursor is the way in which the BIOS is telling you that Windows is not loading because its most critical, core files have been corrupted beyond repair. The only thing you can do is to reinstall using the recovery cd or your own Windows install disk.

You need your Vista disk to re-install Vista.

If you don't want to go to the expense, download and install Ubuntu, its a free opterating system and now on version 10.4, its pretty good.
