720387 2008-11-15 20:09:00 It worked fine but then wouldn't start shows 2 screens and then just blanks tried using a rcovery boot disk but that won't work either. O.o Running XP never had any problems just one day it didn't start up. chapnis (14311)
720388 2008-11-15 20:14:00 Will it boot into safe mode??

Sounds like what just happened to my monitor. The capacitors are probably blown in it somewhere. When I used to turn this on, it showed the post screen, and sometimes the splash screen, but not the desktop. But, if I turned the monitor off then on, the desktop was there. But the monitor went off again

Thats if the monitor light is still on, and the computer fans are spinning,

Turn the monitor off then on. Anything there?

720390 2008-11-15 20:19:00 Fans are still spinning monitor light is on. I tried turning the monitor off then on but... nothing :( It's a relatively new computer too. chapnis (14311)
720391 2008-11-15 20:22:00 I would take it back under warranty.

We may make things worse, if we try and help you fix it, while (or if), its still under warranty

720392 2008-11-15 20:24:00 I don't think it is under warranty but thanks anyway. chapnis (14311)
