I believe that this is a VMWare workstation issue, but I cannot get to a point to uninstall it or disable it. The server seems to be otherwise functional, as I can access a share on it from another workstation. As mentioned before, I can ctrl-alt-del and get some measure of control, but not much more. If I move the mouse, I can see the pointer move. Once I logged back in, I got the black screen. At this point, is when the problem occurred. Two or three days later, I installed VMWare's Workstation 10. I then installed Google drive in order to synchronize off site files with this unit.

The basic steps were as follows:Ĭomputer was operating with no problems at this point. This is close to a virgin install of the OS.
