My computer is about seven years old so I can't really upgrade to a newer OS. I am still using Ubuntu 8.04. Anyways. The problem that I have is earlier my computer screen turned black. So I rebooted...

My computer is an old Compaq Evo. It's around the same age. And I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 just fine. I upgraded from 8.04, to 10, now to 11.04
I have to say 11.04 has amazing drivers, everything seems to work 100% of the time with it now. And it supports more PNP (Plug-n-play) devices
Best part about Ubuntu is, you can upgrade, and down grade based on your likes or dislikes.

I am working on a emachine desktop that had windows xp on it, I am trying to install windows 7 ultimate on it, after formatting the hard drive and setting up a partition, It installs about 81 percent then...

Your computer -may- be out of date. The visual hardware need to run windows 7 must be up to date, and not made before 2003. Depending on how old your computer is, Windows 7 may or may not run on it. It may also just as well be a problem with your monitor. Is your monitor very old?

Believe it or not, clearing the CMOS might actually help. Make sure you do it right by completely unplug the power cord or turn off the PSU, then take the battery out.

It also sounds like the CPU might be too hot. Look under the fan of the heatsink and see if there is any dust that will block the airflow. When the computer is on, touch the heatsink and feel if it is really warm. If it is really warm, it's a good sign, you might just need more airflow. If it is cold, you might need to reinstall the heatsink/apply new thermal compounds.

Hi again and welcome back to FixYa,

Appreciate the direct "Ask Me".

Would initially suggest to clean the memory(/ies). Turn over the laptop, behind one of the panels/lid/cover secured by a screw or two would be the memory modules. Snap them out, use a hard pencil eraser to clean the little gold pins, a dry brush on the memory slots and re-insert the memories back, try again.

Should this be not corrective, it would appear that you have a video driver problem and fails to load correctly. Try booting into "Last known good configuration that worked", otherwise might require re-installing Windows all over again, sorry.

Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.

Sounds like you either got a bad or incomplete update. Go to the start button, accessories, system tools, system restore. open system restore and choose a restore point before you went on your trip. This will usually straighten things out.

If the computer is difficult in powering on, then I would suggest unplugging it from the receptacle and pushing in the power button for 10 seconds. This will bleed off the power in the capacitors on the main board. If you were just trying to upgrade the operating system, I can not see where that would have any relation to the board powering up, maybe that the board was failing to begin with and the update was the coincidence.

Now, if by not starting, you are talking about just Windows booting and the computer will actually power on, then it sounds like the operating system was updating or upgrading and a failure occurred during that process in which case, there maybe nothing you can do except either a complete restoration from the recovery partition or a complete wipe of the entire drive and a re-install of the operating system from scratch.
