Vista Black screen of death

Upon startup after the loading bar the screen goes black before the login screen. Nothing works here, Ctr+Alt+Del does not work at all.

I have tried

repair your computer
system restore
safe mode
safe mode with command prompt
last known good configuration
debugging mode
disable driver signature enforcement

All of these just take me back to the black screen with only the mouse showing up.

Every solution I have seen involves either using safe mode to get in and system restore or delete corrupt updates, or use command prompt. I am unable to use those because I cannot access safe mode nor the command prompt.

Also, when I try to do a system restore it brings up a login prompt where there is my user, guest and admin. Guest and admin do not work and it wont accept my password.

Can anyone find me a solution?

 

same for me

 

is there ANY WAY WE CAN FIND FILES THAT ARE CORRUPT AND DOES ANY ONE KNOW COMMON CORRUPT FILES???

 

Do you have a Vista installation disk? If not, you can download the Vista Recovery Disk from the following link:

Follow the instructions given in the following link:
Using System Restore from the Vista Windows Recovery Environment

You should then be right to go.

 

sadly i have tried that approach, and there are many restore points. But when i try one it says that it was successful, but the same problem persists.

 

I have tried all of the restore points with no luck

 

Step 1 Check that your hard drive is not failing.
Download the diagnostic utility from the hard drive manufacturer's website to create a bootable floppy or CD. Boot with it, and run the short/quick test and then the long/extended test, and check the S.M.A.R.T. status. If the hard drive tests show NO problems what-so-ever with the hard drive, then it is safe to proceed with more work to rectify the problem with the Windows system.

Firstly, you need to find the brand name of your hard drive. You will find this info on the label of the hard drive (most likely you will have to remove the hard drive from the box to read the label). You will also find sufficient info to identify the drive (the model number) by looking in the BIOS Setup Menu.

Step 2 Run Checkdisk
Please follow the instructions in the following link:
Windows Vista - Running Checkdisk from a Boot CD/DVD

Test: Try starting your system now.

Step 3
Choose "Last known good configuration that worked", and press the Enter key. The computer will attempt to load Windows.
If Windows does not start, try the same thing again .... and continue trying for 10 times, before you rule that option out as a means of getting your OS up and running again, normally.
Why 10 times? Based on past experience, a successful result is sometimes achieved after several consecutive failed attempts.

Please let us know the results of the above steps.
