Windows 10 boots into black screen after longer break

Sageoff · 08 May 2017

Hi all, I have problem with my Lenovo Yoga 3 14. Few days ago i replaced SSD drive and completly reinstalled W10. Since then I'm having weird issue. Alyways after longer break (more than 3hours) my machine boots into black screen (no cursor and no reaction for buttons). When I hold power button more than 10 sec it restarts and then works okey. When I'm rebooting or shutdown and power on again the problem didn't happen. I have tried disabling fast startup, changing graphic driver and all that i can find on forum. My problem happens alyways and alyways second startup fix the problem. What can it be ? :)

Sory for my language

Hi, I'm just wondering if the Windows version you were running with previously was the Anniversary Edition (1607, 14393) and the one you have now installed is the current build, being the Creator's edition.

So.. prior to your replacing the SSD, had you upgraded to the Creator's edition?

And for your clean install, was the iso or boot medium you used one you created in the last couple of weeks, or an old one?

To confirm, what is your current build number?
(Windows key + R, winver)

Here's a list of Lenovo devices approved as with the Creator's build:
Lenovo computers compatible with the Windows 10 Creators Update
Lenovo devices tested for Windows 10 version 1703 (update March, 2017)

Thanks for fast response ! :)

I'm using W10 Education - version 1703 build 15063.250. For clean install I used microsoft iso from March.
Thanks for great lenovo site with tested devices. My yoga 3 14 HSW is present on list.

On previous SSD I was using the same Windows version, but installed from much older iso, and there was no problem.

Hi, there are quite significant differences between the major build you have now (Creator's upgrade), the preceding Anniversary edition (1607, 14393), and the one before that (TH2 / the 'November build' or 1511) and the first release (10240).

Some people are seeing problems with the new Creator's build they weren't experiencing before. In some cases, doing a clean install (rather than upgrading) helps.

So it seems your previous build - that worked- was probably the Anniversary build.

The question in my mind is this: have you installed any programs since clean installing the CU, and did your PC work normally after clean installing before you installed any programs?

The only things I installed was drivers from lenovo. Now I'm trying to install different graphic drivers but with no success. Maybe you are right about newer version. So I'll wait for updates. I'm used to dual booting :)

With the newer edition, there will be a new driver map... that is, the drivers may not be the same versions you had installed with the previous build I assume you were using.
