XP... Display black
i have a major problem with XP...
i turn the computer on, it shows the XP logo and just about when the display image should appeare, nothing happens...black screen only... safe mode wont work...when i try to boot there, after some loading my computer automatically restarts... Enableing VGA mode also gives me blank screen only... its a NTFS system so i dont have access to anything...Boot from CD Rom is useless, as again i have a black screen... i guess i messed up some option...as i can hear the XP is working, i just cant see anything... is there anyone who could help with advice what to do next, as i dont know what else to try except formating everything...and i really dont want that... thanks |

Hi Paurino,
If you can't boot into safe mode, that's a bad sign. Of course you have checked all the connections. When you start the PC keep hitting F8 till you get the screen with all the options and see if you can boot to the command prompt. Do the chkdsk command and see if that works, it is going to tell you to run scandisk but it will just be interesting to see if your hard drive is working as the two times I've seen this it turned out the hard drive was going or gone. If you have the diagnosis disk for your HD I would boot it up with a floppy and test your hard drive. If you don't have one download it with someone eles's PC, just go to the hard drive's web site.

thanks for the advice, Greg...though i tried that also before...check disk tells me i have no errors...
The point is that i belive that my hard disk is just fine...and when i boot in normal Windows i think windows are there, its just that display is black... otherwise the last good configuration of windows would be a solution, like this windows think everything is fine when it boots...basically it is, but display is black only...only... i think the blind person would be the best solution for me...it could move arround the windows with no problem and fix it... but i will try to find some more diagnostic programs that can run in a floppy boot...anyone knows a program that could do that in NFTS system? |

Hi Paurino,
The Win 98 boot disk would work in your machine, it doesn't matter that you have NTFS on your hard drive, booting from the floppy boots you into DOS. If you can't boot into safe mode you have problems. Safe mode doesn't use any drivers, any switch, as you put it, that you change would not be in effect in safe mode. Also you say you can't boot from the XP disk, it sounds to me you have a hardware problem, not a software problem. If you have access to another PC, this site http://freepctech.com/pc/002/files010.shtml will instruct you how to make a boot disk for xp and NTFS to run your xp cd. |
