There was no crash/BSOD. Just a blank screen, and no disk activity. Will do another Hijackthis as advised. KB

703809 2008-09-10 03:29:00 Look in event viewer for any X's. Go the entry where it shows the time the screen went blank, double click on the entry and click on the icon under the down arrow, and paste it here Speedy Gonzales (78)
703810 2008-09-10 06:54:00 I am delighted to advise that my PC2 is back on line, and running well. Many thanks to all who offered advice and help. The solution, in the end, was exquisitely simple - UNINSTALL ZONE ALARM. KB. kbcad (1025)
703811 2008-09-10 11:49:00 That solution has fixed a couple of problems for me too! However, your symptoms don't jump out as firewall ones.

Nice relief to get your machine back I am sure.

703812 2008-09-10 22:33:00 For linw -
now that my PC2 is up and running again, I have been able to establish what happened, which will explain why my problems were not initially apparent as Firewall;
1) In trying to network my 2 PC's I unwittingley turned off my security in Network Magic.
2) I then turned off ZoneAlarm
3) I instantly had connection to the 'Net, but also picked up an intruder via my wireless connection.
4) I fixed this by turning on my security in NM
5) I rebooted (which re-initiatedZonealarm) and had blank screen
6) Tried everything for a day and a half 'til eventually uninstalling ZoneAlarm. Replaced with Comodo from Speedy's sig.
