Windows 10 black screen on startup problem
Hello
I'm writing this from my mobile and have some difficulty searching the forum for my issue. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a toshiba satellite c660 laptop (this pre dates Windows 10 officially supported equipment). I have an SSD which has been running Win 10 for several months. (64 bit)
The other day the laptop started to present a black screen on startup. The device powers up and the fan comes on. I assume that the ssd works as normal but of course it doesn't make any sounds to give me any clues.
I've waited sufficient time for the log in screen to appear. I have then entered my password (sometimes assuming the cursor is in the right place and sometimes pressing the space bar to activate it). I then wait sufficient time for the desktop to load and have pressed the Windows key + p several times on the assumption windows is trying to display my screen on a non existent projector. I have a small lcd projector with me (I am travelling) and have tried to display the screen on that.
None of these attempts have worked. I have seen other guidance which recommends using a start up disk which, of course I don't have and can't create.
Any suggestions?
Chris
