Black screen after windows xp install

TCA, on Thursday July 10, 2008 03:13:16 PM

Hello,

I just loaded a XP pro on my desktop and it seems to load ok but only to a black screen. I've removed everything except the the video card (not part of mother board) and rebooted but always to a black screen. I've rebooted and tried hitting the enter button 5 times for a "searching for new hardware" just in case that might work. Will changing montors or video cards help. This is a fresh install so nothing on the hard drive is needed.

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 2.0.0.15

Hello TCA,
When you said it seems to load ok, what do you mean by that?
If the monitor displays nothing at all and you see its LED flashing or displays "no signal" or something like that. Try another video card.

Well, when I boot up the screen lights up as usual and then the XP pro comes up with the loading indicator and then when the windows XP should display the desktop and icons, nothing but a black screen. The monitor is indicating ON and I can hear the processor do it's thing but nothing else. I can try another video card but was wondering if there was another way.

TKS
