Since you are getting the black screen after POST...it sounds like this issue could be an issue with the image you are currently running. You may have a bad driver or you may have a corrupted image. I am leaning towards a bad driver (display driver). Seeing that you upgraded to Windows 8.1, chances are the driver did not install properly.

I would recommend successfully refreshing your computer and log into windows like you were doing before.
Go into device manager and uninstall and "delete" the device software of your display driver (this should set you back to VGA standard adapter).
Restart your computer.
Log back in and go to your manufacturer's website to look for your display driver for windows 8.1.
Download and install.
Restart and you should be fine.

Ok, is your laptop an intel or AMDI? or better yet...whats the name of the display driver you disabled? I will look up your driver for you. By the way it seems like HP does not support windows 8 or 8.1 on that laptop. Thats probably the reason you couldnt find it on their website. But get back with me with the name of your display driver.

Yes it looks like you are better off staying with Windows 7 if possible, because there is little or no driver support for Windows 8.1 for your laptop; especially for none for the display driver.

Besides Windows 7 is much better and stable (in my opinion)

Not sure what could cause that besides thinking you may have a bad adobe reader software. I would recommend uninstalling and installing adobe reader again. Atleast if this doesnt resolve the issue, then we know its not adobe reader's issue. And that it could be something else.

We need more information about whats going on here. because you may have a bad ISO image, you may have burnt it into the dvd incorrectly (dvd needs to be burnt as a "bootable image"wink

Preferably, i like to use usb. So you would need to prepare the usb as a bootable image first.

You can use a third party software to do that, or if you are Nigeria with poor or no network..then command prompt is best...by doing this

Insert USB.
Open up command prompt (best to right click and run as administrator)
type and enter DISKPART
type and enter LIST DISK
You should see a list of all disks on the computer...note the number of your usb drive
type and enter SELECT DISK 1 (that 1 should be the number assigned to your usb..so it may be different for yours)
type and enter CLEAN
type and enter CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
type and enter SELECT PARTITION 1
type and enter ACTIVE
type and enter FORMAT FS=NTFS
type and enter ASSIGN
type and enter EXIT


Once all that is done...you should copy the windows image contents and paste it the usb drive. (Please make sure you are copying and pasting the extracted files into the usb drive)

reboot and boot into the usb drive.

Few questions

What operating system?
What drivers are you missing? (go to device manager and list all the drivers with a yellow notification)

And why is the "techie" not fixing this issue he probably caused?
