    Register on the forums to remove this ad!


    This started a couple days ago. Whenever I turned my computer on It gave me this screen. The little white line flashes, though. Can anyone explain wtf it is? Also, when I press ALT+CTRL+Delete, it went back to normal. Just wondering what it is, dont wanna risk anything. And btw it fills the whole screen, I just made a smaller version of it.

    tl;dr: This happens when I turn my computer on, wtf is it?

    Something's weird with your bootloader. ctl+alt+del basically does a soft reset so it must be fine on the second go-around or something.

    It's a problem with your drivers being read in the boot up of the OS, most likely.

    This used to happen on my hp tower too, it will go away as soon as you hit enter or w/e, it can happen if you have usb flash drives/mp3 players plugged in sometimes as well(happens to my netpad all the time when i have the flash drive plugged into it to watch stuff on my tv and i forget to unplug it)

    here is what i got for information on it Black screen flashing cursor in top left corn [Solved]

    And here is what hp has to say Windows 7 - black screen with blinking cursor - HP Support Forum
    PC Stops at Black Screen with Flashing Cursor (Windows XP) Compaq Presario 5420CA Desktop PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
    and vista http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...634637&lang=fr

    Linux is absolute shit. If you really want to go the *nix route, go with OS X or BSD.

    No linux can be really good if you know how to use it, It is just not practical to have unless you can take the time to fix issues and have knowledge of how the system works, linux IS, and always will be the most secure out of any of the operating systems, that's why most hospitals use it to store there information safely.

    I do not recommend it however as is is not practical for home use.

    I don't recommend Mac's or a BSD based os ether since the support for it is just not in place for most hardware/software/online sites. Video and Audio Great!... everything else... Meh :\

    I certainly hope hospitals aren't using Linux. So many people mess with its source that something always breaks in between releases. In fact, I'd consider it one of the least reliable operating systems of today. The kernel is hopelessly bloated, and it's one of the few remaining mainstream OS's to use a monolithic kernel (both Windows and OS X use hybrid kernels).

    Another problem is that Linux's GPL license essentially forces developers to contribute code back. The BSD and APSL licenses have no such requirement.
