MacBook Pro Blackscreen after Bootcamp Installation
Hi everyone, please have a look:
Running the latest version of OS-X (updated then time machined before running BootCamp Assistant) on my 2012 MacBook Pro 15"
What I did:
- Made sure all the latest (pending) apple system updates were installed
- Formatted ext HD then created a fresh Time Machine disk
- Formatted My MAC
- Reinstalled OS X from BootCamp
- Formatted USB thumb drive
- Created Windows 10 Installer & partitioned drive using BootCamp Assistant
- Installed Win 10 under BootCamp
- Installed Chrome in Windows
- Began installing Malware Bytes in Windows while simultaneously downloading Bit Defender
What I expected to happen:
- Continue my initial Windows setup and configuration
- go to bed
What happened instead:
1) Without warning the screen went black.
NOTE: I saw a notification come up during this process saying that my Nvidia drivers were now game ready or something, however I was using Windows for at least another 10 - 15 minuets Before the screen when black.
2) Computer still boots up and I hear the wrong key beep (?) when feeling around (see below)
What troubleshooting have I attempted?:
- Reboot
- PRAM reset
- SMC Reset
- Connecting the MagSafe charger
- Holding option during boot up, then blindly trying to login to windows and OS X, to try adjusting the screen brightness
What results have I seen from my Troubleshooting? (Corresponds to previous section)
- nothing.. it boots black
- nothing.. it boots black
- MagSafe changed color briefly
- The first time I attached the MagSafe the screen came back then disappeared. (Estimate less than a minute)
- The aforementioned beeping noises when touching non F# keys... and still nothing
Addition Info
Someone on another site said that I have a bad Nvidia driver... I don’t know what that means exactly nor can I imagine how to begin to fix it when I can’t see anything. (Tried asking the person but they aren’t replying)
- Were they correct?
- If yes what do I do?
- If no what could the problem be?
I would be grateful for any help that you can provide...
Thank you
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

This is a great question. you include details, what you tried, process/order you did it in. good job. (usually question like "my phone is not working how do I fix it" with no details come in.)
