    At bootup I will get a black screen after the windows loading bar (at the bottom). It will stay a black screen as long as I reboot. I need to press the power button pressed down until it reboots then I do a Regular Windows Start. I've done the safe start so it can look for disk errors too. But I still get this black screen about 60% of every boot times.

    What is the problem? Vista? or other?

    Hmm i have a similar problem with the 6935g but its not done it for awhile. It just doesnt like to restart. It seems to start up if i take the power cable out the laptop for 5+ seconds then boot up for me. My bios are updated too.

    any usb devices attached to the notebook when it is booting up? try unplugging all usb devices before you turn on your notebook

    Hi, it isn't vista but possibly a driver issue, how long has it been doing this for as a system restore might get you back to normal...

    My laptop is 2 weeks old and I already restored the system...
    I'll try the USB thing (from BOKO) 'cause I have this mouse that uses the micro usb chip and I leave it in there all the time.

    BTW, When I look in the Acer eSettings Management under Boot Option, what is the check in "Enable Fast Boot"? I'll try removing this check too.

    I moved the USB in the boot sequence at the bottom...
    I unchecked "enable fast boot"...
    And I still leave the micro usb for the mouse in there...So after a few days I haven't had any boot issues anymore, so go figure. It must be one of those changes i've made.
