New Laptop + Win 8 + Login = Black Screen of Death. I hate Microsoft.

Just be happy you have a sound system that works properly, unlike us Linux users. So, Windows boots and *then* you get the black screen? I was first wondering if secure boot got messed up. Some apps like LoJack change the MBR. I wonder what happens if a user installs LJ on a new W8 machine with secure boot enabled?

Black Screen of Death is where the screen is black, the cursor works, and nothing is displayed. Has something to do with Win 8 putting the machine into a state where graphics can't paint the whole screen. Got out of it by accident, and it's been fine since.
