Insert your OS disc and go into the recovery menu and repair. If that doesn't work, go back into the recovery disc and go into the command prompt and type:

bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /fixboot

  • OOH CRAP. When an Alienware computer dies, something really bad must be going on... Oh wait, it has Vista on it. Well that explains all. GET WINDOWS 7!! It's way better

  • @ultrawaregamestudios This was a long time ago, well before windows 7 was even a beta.

  • This is not black screen of death this is something else... man

  • @Drop116 I'm aware, but at the time it was the easiest way to explain the problem.

  • Music in background is???

  • Everlong - Foo Fighters

  • How the hell do I open notepad / click start (suggested by Microsoft) if I can't see ANYTHING?!

  • Do the following tasks:

    Reboot your Windows in Safe Mode and disconnect all other monitors but One.If problem persists, you need to create .bat file to kill dwm process.

    To create a new file, open notepad.Type “taskkill /F / IM dwm.exe” without quotes.

    Save the file as “displayfix.bat”.Copy saved file to C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windo­ws/Start Menu/Programs/Startup

    Reboot Windows.

    If black screen still appears then use a system utility software like ReginOut.

    Hope it works for you.

  • @ultrawaregamestudios GET LLINUX!

  • Yours showed the welcome sign

  • i unplugged  my sata drive . when i replugged it my screen was restored

  • @willemschra good 4 u

  • thats odd. it said explorer.exe was running. i would definitely say that its because it is windows vista. windows xp will rule 4 ever! well it does run faster on most pc's. but i mus say that windows vista doesn't compare to xp or windows 7 operating systems. just get xp or windows 7 and there ya go! problem solved

  • @willemschra I fix mine without going to the store...so good job buying the disk MORON
