| 677668 | 2008-06-12 01:15:00 | hi well heres my problem, my partner was on the computer last night and she turned off the computer but she said that something was loading to wait till it finished but she was inpatient and just turned it off. I turn it on the next day but nothing happens, the computer is on but nothing comes on the monitor. So i think it was that she turned it off while the updates was happening and it has corrupted the graphic drivers, i have tried installing a different video card but still nothing. So i am not sure weather it is a video card problem or a windows problem. Any help would be appreciated!!! |

| 677669 | 2008-06-12 01:25:00 | As you or the other half have learnt - wait means just that WAIT - the computer would have turned its self off after it had finished installing on its own. Have you tried starting the PC in safe mode, tapping the F8 key on start up, if you can get into the screen, try selecting "Last known Good configuration" or Safe mode. If you can get into safe mode go to start/All Programs/ Accessories/System Tools/System Restore, and run the program, return the PC back to earlier on in day before the downloads. If you cant get into safemode, but can get into the option screens after pressing F8 select safemode with command prompt. Then run restore from that. At the command prompt, type C:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe Press Enter. Follow the instructions given to perform the System Restore process. |

| 677670 | 2008-06-12 01:30:00 | nothing comes up on my monitor just blank. I have tested cables and power sources, even the wires from my monitor to the computer and they are all working fine. The computer its self starts up withe no error beeps but still no display, i even got a working video card and chucked it in, but still no display!!! | cotutaha (12204) | ||
| 677671 | 2008-06-12 01:33:00 | Remove the CMOS jumper / battery from the mobo (after you pull the plug), for a minute then put it back on. Then if the monitor comes on, reconfigure the BIOS |

| 677672 | 2008-06-12 01:57:00 | Huh. So the screen shows absolute zip. Not even any BIOS-related stuff? It does sound a bit like a BIOS or hardware problem... | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 677673 | 2008-06-12 05:26:00 | It's possible something failed while the computer was installing updates, causing it to freeze up - especially if you see absolutely nothing on the screen. To see if it's windows or the whole thing, pull the power connectors from the hard drive(s) and then turn it on. if the hardware is working it should start but do nothing except show a message that it couldn't find anything to boot from |

| 677674 | 2008-06-12 09:05:00 | Have you checked the monitor on another working system? I take it that this is a desktop PC rather than a laptop. Possibly just a dead monitor or no power to the monitor. Not enough information to give you a 100% correct answer I am sorry. |
