|
|
PC wouldn't boot intially, so took it into Safe Mode and did a restore to a previous point. Everything working fine. Fast forward 1 week later, come home, screen is black, and again will not boot properly. Go into Safe Mode for another restore since it worked previously. Restore says the computer was restored successfully, yet computer still gives black screen when booting normally. Went back into Safe Mode to run series of spyware, antivirus, etc scans which yield no results. The PC is only 3-4 months old; only recent deviation from normal computer use is moving and having internet installed about 2 weeks ago. Standard cable internet through Roadrunner.
Any thoughts? Had theory that it might be integrated graphics card failing, but not sure. _________________ ~HeatherK

Also, it may be possible that it is trying to finish an update and you are not giving it time? boot and let it sit there for an hour or so before giving up on it.... _________________ <img src="http://www.castlecops.com/zx/johnlgalt/johnlgalt%20sig.png">
