Windows 8 Blank Screen
I ve removed the battery to reset the bios still cannot access it.

Check that windows is not starting to a alternative non existent screen. One of those buttons pictograms should be an image of 2 screens side by side this is normally the screen select option. In either scenario if you try to restart windows 8 again the system freezes before the desktop is generated. On the advanced boot options screen make sure that safe mode is selected and press enter.
I get the windows logo followed by a blank screen and an active mouse pointer. Press ctrl shift esc and something called task manager pops up. The function keys should have a set of pictograms in a different colour which matches another key marked fn. Once in safe mode go to control panel system device manager and open display devices.
When the computer restarts windows 8 is forcibly turned off or reset. Tried f8 and shift f8 at boot up without success. Windows 8 1 black screen with cursor bug. In windows 8 8 1 and 10 it might be a blank window stating there are no running apps click or touch the more details button on the bottom left.
