I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series laptop dual bootable into Win10 and Win7. I need Win 7 because one of my programmes won't run on Win 10.

On start up, following the welcome screen, the screen goes black with a movable cursor. After a minute or so it manages to get through this and boots to the normal desktop. If I close the lid for any length of time the desktop does not recover and i have to restart the laptop.

I can run Task Manager when the black screen is displayed and there is virtually no cpu or memory activity until just before the desktop appears.

I have used Driver Easy to update all the drivers without effect.

The start up time is around 2 minutes as is shutdown.

I could live with the slow boot but the lid issue is a problem as i have to restart the laptop and reload the apps.
