Hi
The system device menu showed a couple of yellow question marks, of which one was a VGA driver. I uninstalled it, and tried re loading the drivers. Windows was searching for the drivers and I left it to it.
When I came back, the screen was black. I presumed it had gone to sleep, and moved the mouse. Nothing. It was completely black. The power was on, but there was nothing on the screen. A reboot brought back the usual startup screen, followed by the Windows XP logo and the blue "progress" bar. But the screen then goes black again. The startup sound can be heard.
I have tried to reboot in safe mode (by pressing f8 on reboot) but nothing works - Ie i dont get the option to boot from safe mode, it continues to boot as normal.
I cant see a start button so cant do anything via msconfig either.
It wont boot from the XP disc or from the motherboard dvd
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
