I have laptop and I am using Windows 7.

When I start my laptop, it starts the booting process, shows me the Windows 7 logo, and then goes to a black screen, remaining that way.

I tried to use the options safe mode,safe mode with command prompt and also safe mode with networking,but every time I see a black screen.

This has happened to me before, and after trying a bunch of things, I just let it sit for an hour. Eventually it cleared up and never happened again. – Teknophilia Dec 19 '11 at 17:38

Most fixs for vista and this problem work on win7
Video adapter problems are the most common cause of this issue, but most black screens are trial and error.
As you are not getting in at all, without any blinking cursor, and no pluged in Printers / mouse, etc you can not update your drivers.
When you turn it off do you unplug the cable and take the battery out ?
have you run memtest86. ?
will it run a live cd. ?
have you installed anything new before, any new hardware ?
Do you have a system repair disk, a boot disk, install disk or complete OEM reinstall disc set Have you read these SU posts

black screen 2

Press F8 and select Repair Your Computer:

Then do a Windows System Restore. If you do not have this option to select then make a System Repair disc on another Windows 7 PC and boot from that disc. The PC you make the System Repair disc on must be the same bit version as the one you are repairing.

I have had this issue before and, believe it or not, this is how I fixed it,

Burned a WinPE disc
Booted into WinPE
Run "SysPrep /oobe"

This is the out of box experience apparently, it must clear the boot sequence or something.

Exact SysPrep:

C:\Windows\System32\SysPrep
