Try installing Linux. You might get lucky and it'll work for you. – digitxp Aug 11 '11 at 12:48

In the similar situation I have to make clean install after 1 week fight. You can tray to press "windows button +P" to check if the OS is working behind the black screen. I even tried to replace the file that is executed when you press "windows button + P" with explorer.exe but without success. So my opinion is - start with clean install. Before that copy or rename "users" directory, so you can later copy your profile on the new system.

The thing is I cannot access anything,not even an interface. The startup itself is leading to to this black screen. No OS............. Nothing is coming other than this screen. – akb.zak Mar 18 '11 at 8:19
