If your screen goes to a blue or black screen Change your Video Card it's a Problem with ALL computers that do that if it's not your Video card ... if not that ... You will need to get your your computer re-formmated and you will pay about 50-100 dollar's to get it fixed.

I have posted the same question. I just tried a force bios boot up from win xp cd rom, but it won't boot up with cd rom. The windows safe mode did shows up and page up/down or arrows key doesn't not function and eventually windows start again in normal mode.

I have the same problem. I think it didn't shut down all the way last night. It does the preliminary & quickly gives the option for the F12 or F2 options but it doesn't work if you try, it just goes to the blank screen. I have a flashing cursor but it won't allow you to type & does not move. When I try to shut down my computer it's as if it's going to sleep or simply restarting. However, it will if I hold the power button in long enough (It's really pretty long comparatively speaking)

I had this same problem about a year ago & I took it in. The tech said there was nothing really wrong with it, it was just overloaded & from then on it booted up. Cost me $75 for that. I ran a registry cleaner last night & when it was finished I went through the steps to shut it down but I left before the process had completed. This morning the CPU was frozen & when I restarted it, this is where I am at. Not to backtrack, last time right before this happened my CD Rom & DVD-RW drives don't work. I want to clean it all off but it's really not that low on memory, it shouldn't be doing this. Now, my laptop, that's another story. Every time I remove something it seems as if I lose memory, I never have extra space as I figured I would.

Sorry it's so long. Please help with these issues without losing everything on my CPU. I REALLY can't afford the $75 right now.

Thanks

I HAV D SAME PROBLEM HELP ME PLZZZZZZZZZZZ

EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION - HERE IS THE SOLUTION! I have had this problem on 2 diff monitors now. It is not the graphics card, it is the monitor. I have fixed many weird things on computers, and I've never come across anything like this. The answer is: Turn it off, and back on, OVER AND OVER until it stays on. It will eventually stay on, trust me. From that point on, do not turn it off! Else it might not come back on at all next time!!! This happens to some lower-end monitors as they age. The monitor is old, and could possibly have died, but didn't! So be happy it still works, and work with it. Don't spend money on graphics cards, or reloads, or anything else. Just trust me and try this!!!

Windows have had some problem with dual display after laptop was disconnected from the same network as desktop pc. My monitor's got a button for switching from analog to digital. Switched to analog, windows came on and monitor stopped blinking. Hope this helps.

I have this problem but i clicked someting in my nvidea (not sure how to spell) options and my screen went black any ideas? :'(

EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION ! LISTEN TO ME!
Im a Noob who thinks he can solve everyones problems by having them turn there stuff on and off till it work.

TRUST ME!!!!

IT WORKS!!!!

LISTEN TO ME!!!!!!!!!

ME!!!!!

MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

HI GUYS,

I just experience this the same problem last 2 days. After changing the resolution using the NVIDIA GeForce, the screen went blank so its like black screen and the power indicator on the monitor is blinking orange & green. At first it will do that in more or less 10 sec., but right now it will no longer show the display on the monitor.

Since I cant do the warm reboot, I need to push the button on the CPU for 5 sec to restart the PC.

I also tried press F8 during POST but there's no option for me to open it in Safe Mode, and PC will show Windows XP screen after that it went blank again showing black screen and the power indicator on the monitor is still blinking orange & green.

I dont know what shoud I do with my PC right now.

I will try Joy's solution and hopefully it will work.

I'll update you guys!

Thanks!

Have a good day to all... =)

Its good to hear that your problem was fixed, hopefully someone in the community will also give or provide me a good solution for my issue.

Regards to all!

I have only had my Dell for 6 months and it never goes out of the house, the problem seems to have occurred due to dodgy software. My solution, after several attempts to log on and off without success, was to remove the battery. I started up with it still removed and only working on mains power. This allowed the lap top to get past the log in stage and still have a desktop to look at rather than a black screen. I immediately went to the control panel and completed a system restore. I am still waiting to see if thsi does the trick but will let you all know how it goes. It's worth a try for those of you who still have had no luck.

Hi to ALL,

My problem now is fixed. I asked help from my boyfriend who's a computer enginnering graduate. He said that the OS is already corrupted. I install Windows XP again and now my computer works again. Its good that I created partition so I still retrtieve my files in D:. I install XP in C: only.

Hope this will also help those people who are experiencing the same problems.

Have a good day to everyone.

Chow!
