Black Screen With Cursor on Windows-7

In my system Win-7 OS upon boot shows only BLACK screen with just a CURSOR arrow! There is no effect of R or L click of the mouse. Arrow can simply moved my mouse. Nothing else could be done.

Following options appearing by pressing F8 key upon boot:

Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with with Command Prompt

Enable Boot logging
Enable Low-resolution video (640X480)
Last Known Good Configuration (advanced)
Directory Services Restore Mode
Debugging Mode
Disable automatic restart on system failure
Disable Driver Signature Enforcement

Start Windows Normally

I tried all the above options but the result is nil! Ctrl+Alt+Delete has also no effect. Nothing appears on the screen even using/pressing Shift or Win-Key. I googled and tried different methods suggested, but the result is NIL.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

This is the symptom of hardware failure, specifically the hard disk drive. Your best bet is to remove the drive and replace it with a new one. A Solid State Drive would be best, something like the Samsung Evo 2.5" SATA 256GB or larger I recommend.

Hopefully you have install media for Windows 7 and your product key handy. if you don't and none of your friends do than you need a local computer shop to help get the disc for your or do the install for you. Ideally ...this is a good time to upgrade to Windows 10. You can create your own Windows 10 install media here:


When you are asked for the product key for Windows 10 use the product key on the outside of your machine for Windows 7 for install ...the free upgrade is still working =)
