Repeat this process three times to trigger the Automatic Repair function or Diagnostics Mode. Next, click Advanced startup menu and click on the Troubleshoot option. Reboot your computer to complete the setup and check whether you can see your desktop. In the Device Manager window, click on Display Adapters , right-click your video card and select Uninstall. Press OK to complete the uninstallation.
When your computer boots up again, Windows will automatically reinstall the video card driver, and you can check if you encounter the black screen again. Sometimes a black desktop screen can be resolved by waiting it out for up to six hours if your PC is slow so that Windows can sort itself out. Tell us which of these solutions worked, or if you have a specific issue, share it in a comment below.

When I have to manually turn my computer off after freezing it starts back up with either repair and disk check, or I get the black screen of death with flashing cursor and then it will either go to F8 menu on its own or I press it and then it starts.
My computer will not shut down on its own nor stay off unless I manually turn it off. Clearly there is something wrong--probably a virus and other things. Can anyone please walk me through this. Thanks for everything, K.
Due to the amount of 'chefs' there have been fixing your computer, and considering the extent of the problems your computer is having, the wisest course of action here would be to reinstall your operating system.
Is there a reason you haven't done this already? The reason I suggest this is because there have been a huge amount of adjustments made to core features of your computer's systems.
Even when you get rid of whatever is infecting your computer in whatever quantities, there will then be the very long and laborious task of getting it back to some semblance of functionality. Truthfully, reinstallation of the operating system has always been a last resort for me. But, in this case, to save you days of hassle that does not come with any guarantee, I would encourage you to make back-ups of your important files and reinstall your operating system.
But, if you really want a fight, and you'll learn a lot about Windows during that fight, then start with Chameleon. I just don't know how to back up programs etc. I have so much material and I am terrified of loosing it. I am in the middle of traveling constantly, and I can't locate most of my discs to re-install programs etc.
I was hoping that I could get rid of any virus at least and then in the near future buy a new laptop.
