What happens that results in the blackscreen failure?
System had been fine for about 3 years. Had been running for a number of weeks without restart. Rebooted it today and get black screen after windows start. Starts OK in safe mode. Removing intel graphics driver and letting windows install generic VGA driver solves problem. Re-installing Intel GMA driver 8.14.10.2117 from CD or 15.12.75.50.7.2230 download from intel gives black screen.
Really bizarre, this was a happy, very simple, box chugging away 24x7 collecting data and with one reboot at it all goes to hell. At least I found this thread and see I'm not alone.
Note the BIOS is the original, sorry, but in light of the Intel driver problem I really don't see risking bricking it by updating
