I load my xp as normally and its all good until i log on. Then after 2 min in xp the screen goes black and i cant do anything and the cpu still works.

When i pust the restart button the screen comes up again and it restarts normal with screen on and the same problem again when i log onto windows.

Its works normally in safty mode, the screen dont shut down.

So is there a function in xp home edition that makes it able to shut down the screen itself for some reason?? or is it a virus??

They suggested I update the graphics driver as I was not using the latest version. I have had it for 2 years and never updated it before.They gave me the links to do it and I have had no problem since.
