Problem description: Have this Gateway SX2100. I'm upgrading to Windows 10 from 7, once the first part of the install gets done and it goes to the blue screen with the bulk of the install, after about 30% or so there is no display. Have left it for like over a day, cant really tell if the install completes or what. Gone back to 7, and sometimes its fine, sometimes you boot and same thing, no display after the Windows logo at boot. I dont see a "no signal" or out of range message, the screen is black but lit up. Tried both on my monitor and TV. Shows a resolution of 1152x864 @75hz. Attempted fixes: As I said, tried on both my spare monitor and TV. Installed drivers from manufacturer while in 7, updated BIOS. Tried VGA and HDMI. Have tried a bunch of blind keystrokes, mainly enters to see if anything changes. Maybe get to desktop and update display drivers. Nothing. Tried clean install to 10 as well. Its one of those thin form factor desktops so even if I had a spare video card to throw in it it probably wouldn't fit Recent changes: Tried to upgrade to W10 -- Operating system: 7/10 Home System specs: Gateway SX2100 EW20P Location: What country are you in? Canada I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

Those are not options, as F8 boot options are no longer a thing in 8/10 and I cant get Windows fully installed, so no chance to do anything about drivers. I tried upgrading from 7 to 10 with USB media, and it failed again as always but this time when I rebooted (just left it for a couple days) I got an error message. 0xC1900101 - 0x30018. Installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP operation. Seems to be a driver issue of some sort perhaps from what I've researched. I just unplugged the disc drive and front USB/audio, anything unnecessary, reseated RAM and tried again, nope, same thing. I know a lot of you are still on 7 but to me 7=XP basically now so I'd really like to get it cleaned up with 10 on it but god drat it I dunno what else to try.
