4 times this morning!!!!!!

Me too the last couple days both

black screen booting and while working on project black screen .

Did you guys update to 1809 yet? I wonder if that will make a difference. 

I'm currently updating now. I had to go to the MS website and force an update, my update checker doesn't see it.

No I haven't done the 1809 update yet , had one guy said Deskscapes didn't work after he updated.

So I want to get a external hard drive I have working right and do a complete mirror 

back up before I do the update .

Al would you report back after you update how it works for you , any problems that

you find if any ...Thanks

After it was done I rebooted on purpose and got a black screen. I signed out and back in and it worked.

Edge opened up and I couldn't close it out with the buttons. I had to apply the default theme to close it out.

I had Windows sidebar installed just for the picture viewer and now it's completely gone.

I had a special  icon package installed (the kind from an .exe) it deleted that and put the default icons back.

I don't have Deskscapes installed so I don't know if that works. I have problems with Deskscapes so I don't use it.

OK, I think I get first Prize , as I just had my TV screen go black 

had to turn off and back on the cable box to get the picture back .

I guess the black screen is some kind of Virus now spreading though

my electrical systems.         

@ALMONTY - I reported your 1809 issues/findings to support

i wonder if it had anything to do with that presidential alert system thingy they've been pushing out. Supposedly it went out to all kinds of devices.

funny thing. i put machine to sleep last night after using 1809 all day. wake it up this morning and monitor was still asleep forced shutdown with power button and boot went fine. though kinda oddly, it didn't scream problem at POST (normally it'll say problem at last boot and change the memory clock to not xmp and i'll have to go into bios and change it back)

forgot to say, i didn't reboot or shutdown all day after upping to 1809 (aside from sending it to sleep)

and the last incident was a few months back..

--

set it to sleep for an hour or 2 earlier.. woke it up ok. let's see what happens tonight

--

updated gfx driver. rebooted. slept. woke ok.

7 times last nite while I'm working --- Something needs fixed somewhere -- Not at start up --- I'm already busy and the monitor goes black!

5 black at start up last night 

Found this at MS support in case you don't have it.

Something...

Thanks noted , I'll try that fix next time it happens 

Here's something I happened to come across. I've been out of work for 4 weeks because of a bad eye infection, so I've been bored just sitting around, so I thought I'd work on my old HP Media Center computer that was built in 2007. It came with XP and not soon after I upgraded it to Vista Ultimate. I found and old Win 7 Ultimate upgrade CD I had lying around and I put that on there. I got everything up and running and installing a lot of updates the computer screen would go black so I would restart it and continue on and the screen would go black again. What I found out was that one of my ram sticks was causing the problem. I pulled them out and reseated them and it doesn't do it any more. Just a guess, try reseating the ram or switch them around in different slots.

I have played with my Ram sticks lately still got the black screen

my PC is New so ran a check and all hardware checks out Good,

But I did uninstall my Video driver ( Radeon ) yesterday and then 

reinstalled again to the latest version and no black screen yet 

after about 6 boots .

So we'll see how that goes .

It was just a thought. I figured I'd throw it out there.

I did a Complete full scan with my NORTON yesterday morn and I have lost passwords and cookies and the music player is goofey but I have had no probs for 24 hrs now!

48 hrs now!

I have been getting the Crash/Black screen again... Noticed it DOES NOT HAPPEN unless Im on the net WTF!

I thought mind was gone but got a black screen at boot last night 

My video card is what is screwing up.. Spent an hour with tech at Nvidia .. I fixed it myself I must've got a newbie over there  I gave up on him .Its running but we'll see
