Hi,
I've been working on a dell inspiron 1525 today and cant figure what is causing this problem.
The laptop boots, displays the post screen, and then the screen goes black.
You can boot into BIOS,
You can boot into the Boot menu.
You cannot boot into safe mode, the f8 key does nothing,
when using the boot menu, u can't boot into a windows disc to reload the operating system, it just goes black.
I did however manage to boot into a linux cd i have and run a HDD test (what passed) and a memory test (what also passed).
It does exactly the same on an external monitor aswell so I am lost with this one.
Any ideas would be appreciated
