| 1334840 | 2013-04-03 04:18:00 | And there lays the problem If you did not perform the necessary reboot prior to installing the driver and now encounter the black screen, do the following: 1 Reboot in Safe Mode. 2 Uninstall the driver. Exactly what has already been posted. BUT no display to allow to boot into safe mode. Windows 8 by default doesn't work with the normal F8, or in this case the actual commands, shift +F8. ( solution previously posted on how to bypass this - I tested and works) First there has to be a display - which there isn't, only a signal saying no video input which means the Computer, namely the graphics and monitor are not talking to one another. ;) |

| 1334841 | 2013-04-03 12:45:00 | Have started the computer 2 or 3 times and no POST screen. I will try another screen and see if I can get into Safe Mode and try to sort out those drivers. Certainly looks as though they are the cause. Thanks for all comments and replies. |

| 1334843 | 2013-04-04 11:38:00 | If you can see the 'no signal input' it's most likely that the scrren (monitor) is OK. Do you have onboard graphic? Nvidia 8400GS 'No video input' & no POST at start up. Clean install over XP from MS DVD ran through without a hitch - selected colour, start screen Win8 appeared, signed up for A/c. Shut down until following day and black screen on 1st boot up. Was connected to internet at the time and in an earlier post Solmeister pointed out a possible background install of R310 driver which conflicts with R304 already installed - a known issue. Will have another try this weekend! |

| 1334844 | 2013-04-04 19:04:00 | A driver in W8 is highly unlikely to stop the post screen from showing. Simple way to test that, disconnect the HDD, boot the PC and try to enter the BIOS, if its the HDD in some way or form then the BIOS will show, or Boot from the Windows or any other bootable CD/DVD. If not then theres another problem. Just because it was going doesn't mean anything, hardware fails all the time and at any time. As BK t Mentioned , if you are getting a No Video input message then the monitor cant detect the graphic output. If you look at any suggestions relating to the driver removal, you FIRST have to boot into safe mode, that would tell you that you'll at least be able to see what you are doing ;) |

| 1334845 | 2013-04-04 19:12:00 | If there's no POST now, it's probably a hardware issue rather than software. Unplug the monitor cable and reconnect it, hopefully it's just a loose connection. |
