Guest blueman Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I just finished setting up and installing programs in a new PC running windows XP. Something must have happened and the monitor screen went black. If I try to hit "reset" I can nothing seems to happen. I think the computer shuts down and restarts but the screen remains black The only way I can get the monitor to work (if it is the monitor) is to unplug the PC (when the screen is blank) and plug it back in. Once I have a screen and shut down normally using the start menu, the next time I try to start it up I get nothing but a black screen. I can't even tell if the PC is booting up or getting past the cmos boot up as the screen is black. I have tried a different monitor and the same thing happens so i know it's not the monitor. I'm lost as to where to go at this pint. Has anyone run into a problem like this/ Any ideas what could cause this to happen? A driver or something? Please help Thanks Miike
