I have a Lenovo G505s AMD A10 laptop that hasn't been working for awhile now. It boots up normally and goes to the login screen. Once I login, however, I can see nothing but the cursor. The screen is all black. I can bring up the task manager (ctrl+alt+del). I was able to go to file and run a new task, which brought up the cmd prompt. I entered rstrui.exe and it did bring up windows recovery, which is what I'm doing now. I did it once before and it didn't work, but I'm trying it at a later date now. It's a Windows 7.
I think it may of started this after I installed windows updates, I'm not entirely sure. I'm recovering it before the update so I'll see if it works. Until then, has anyone ever experienced a problem like this? It's a very good laptop and I took great care of it. Had it for about 2 years now and this is the only problem I've come across.
If someone has anymore troubleshooting ideas that may work, please let me know. It'll be much appreciated. I'll choose the best answer.
