Windows 7 screen not displayed after installing Ubuntu

2

0

I bought a new Lenovo laptop with DOS and I wanted to make it dual boot (Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 7, both 64 bit).

I took the following steps to install both systems:

  • Installed Windows 7 OS
  • Windows 7 working fine
  • Installed Ubuntu 14.04
  • On restart Boot menu is shown (Ubuntu, Adavanced, Memory, Windows..)
  • On selecting Ubuntu, it is working fine

Here are my observations on selecting Windows after installation:

  1. Boot menu disappears
  2. The blank grub screen remains there
  3. Windows 7 boots up (screen is still blank, but I hear the welcome sound of windows)
  4. Screen is still blank, I enter the windows password and Windows log on (windows login sound is heard)
  5. Screen still blank, I press Alt + F4, Enter, machine shuts down

I don't understand why the welcome screen on Windows 7 does not show up, even when both operating systems are installed successfully.

I tried the same again with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 and got the same results.

Here is the output of the sudo lshw -C display command:
