| 489140 | 2006-10-04 07:43:00 | I woke up yesterday morning and found my computer off, I go to boot it up and everything works fine until it logs in, then the monitor loses signal. I've tested the wires and everything is fine. The weird thing is that it works perfectly in safe mode just not on a normal bootup. Ive tried the system restore going a week back and it still only works in safe mode. What could the problem be? | rasta (11244) | ||
| 489141 | 2006-10-04 08:49:00 | I think the first thing most would suggest you try is that you uninstall your existing video drivers and reinstall them - preferably with the latest. | Greg (193) | ||
| 489142 | 2006-10-04 10:36:00 | Your profile could of possibly corrupted. In Windows XP Home Edition, you can login as built-in Administrator in Safe Mode only. For XP Professional, press CTRL + ALT + DEL twice at the Welcome Screen and input your Administrator password in the classic logon window that appears try logging in as Administrator, see if it still does it, but failing that, i would put my money on what was suggested, that being the Video Card drivers. Ive had it happen to me a few times. |

| 489143 | 2006-10-05 01:14:00 | I tried to download the new drives but due to safe mode it prohibits new installations, what is the way around this to fix the drivers? The problem is everything works fine until it gets to where the login screen should be, then goes blank before it actually shows it unless I boot up in safe mode. |

Do what greg said, and uninstall the current video card drivers first in safe mode. then you should be able to boot into windows normally, however with no drivers, it will look rather chunky. once in windows, download new drivers. |
