How to turn off boot splash screen?

My vaio laptop screen is black when I turn it on and won't boot?

  • For the past couple of months, give or take, my laptop has been really screwy and annoying. At first, I thought it was a virus, but I'm not exactly sure. I was able to fix it rather quickly, but there were errors with Google Chrome as well as Norton Antivirus. I had to keep re-installing both programs. That problem was momentarily fixed after I had successfully removed what I thought to be the root of the problem, a false windows 7 virus protection program that turned out to be a trojan of sorts. Everything ran smoothly for a while, until I started having that same problem again, accompanied by troubles with getting my computer to turn on. I managed to boot it into safe mode and temporarily mend the problem, but the problem worsened, and at this point I just have a black screen with a blinking mouse. No options, nothing. I hit the f10 key, which brought up the option to reset my system back to factory settings. Still after doing that, my computer fails to fully turn on. Does anyone know what could possibly be preventing my computer from booting up? Thanks in advance for any advice you may give me.

  • Answer:

    And I guess you did not create the operating system recovery disc set for the laptop ! Reinstall to the main hard drive partition drive C using the recovery disc set made for the laptop. If that fails replace the hard drive and then install the operating system using the recovery disc set.

I suggest using another computer to burn a Slacko Puppy Linux liveCD from puppylinux.org, then booting from that new disc and backing up (file by file, do not copy any programs/apps/executables) your hard drive (SDA1) to a flash drive (SDB1), then replace the Linux disc with the Windows install disc and format your hard drive and reinstall Windows. Now that you've done all that, do NOT install any programs from the old install, and be very careful with text, excel, powerpoint, script, and configuration files.
