[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1045303, member: 46727"] Let's try this: Boot the machine with your Snow Leopard DVD. Run Disk Utility from the top menu Utilities. Run the verify and repair routine from First Aid to see if there are any disk errors. Make sure you run it on both volumes. You also might want to run the Apple Hardware Test although I'm not sure that will really highlight any possible graphic hardware errors. The "black" screen error you're encountering is probably related to a graphics problem that Windows is having. If an improper driver is being loaded, you'll get the black screen. I suspect that's what is happening since you say you can hear Windows running in the background. You state that you also used safe mode... Did you install the proper drivers from safe mode? Safe mode startup bypasses all drivers and loads the Windows generic drivers which will amount to a plain VGA screen with very poor resolution. Let us know. Regards. [/QUOTE]
