Boot camp black screen before win 7 installing...

[volodymyrqa]

Anyone experienced this ?

i'm on mc816.

previosly i've had another trouble with WIN7 installation on bootcamp...
Well, i've waited some time in case it will gone.

Now i have this issue. After mac reboots to start win7 installation, screen goes black. And that is it.
Since i cannot see anything i cannot start installation...

I've tried to search for a working solution, but no success so far. Any ideas how can i fix this ?

I want to install GTA 4

Thanks!

Try using the HDMI instead of Displayport for the monitor. If its not an option, disconnect the monitor until after rebooting is finished and the installer has loaded, then reconnect.

I had the same problem with a 2011 mini. Solved it by disconnected all USB and FW external drives and the black screen problem disappeared.

Yes, I had this problem during installation. Instead of the install starting I would get a blank screen. Disconnecting all the FW and USB drives, apart the USB stick where I was installing windows from did the trick.

Nothing I've seen in the forums worked for me. We had laid out 50 Mac mini in a student lab and would get the black screen when booting windows 7. It turned out to be the monitors. We were unable to locate a driver that worked, so scrounged up newer from around campus. No problems since.
