Windows 7 Black screen with curson upon startup (before logging in)

Steps to Resolve the Black Screen Issue on Windows 7:​

1. Boot into Safe Mode with Command Prompt:
   • Restart your laptop and repeatedly press the F8 key just before the Windows logo appears.
   • Select "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" from the list.
   • Once in Command Prompt, try running the following commands:
     Code:

      sfc /scannow chkdsk /f /r

   []System Restore:
   • If Safe Mode with Command Prompt doesn't work, try booting into Safe Mode and perform a System Restore to revert your system to a previous working state.
   []Windows Recovery Options:
   • Boot from a Windows 7 installation DVD or a system repair disc.
   • Select "Repair Your Computer" from the installation screen.
   • Navigate to the Command Prompt option and run the following commands:
     Code:

      bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot bootrec /rebuildbcd

   []Registry Undo:
   • If you suspect programs like Registry Booster caused the issue, you might need to undo the changes made. This can be tricky without booting into Windows normally.
   []Reinstallation:
   • As a last resort, reinstallation may be necessary. Backup your important data before attempting this.

     Additional Notes:​

     • Since Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work for you, a deeper system repair may be required.
     • Uniblue programs like Registry Booster can sometimes cause issues; consider uninstalling them.
     • Avoid using system optimization tools that make aggressive changes to the system.
     Try these steps sequentially, starting from the less intrusive methods like Safe Mode, and progress towards more involved solutions like system repair or reinstallation if needed. Let me know if you encounter any issues with these steps.
