Blank Screen

Hey · 12-20-2008, 09:23 AM

Hello, I have this problem with my computer, that when I turn it on, it goes all black. This is how it happened, I was on the internet, and my computer just turned off, and began to restart. As soon as the first image goes away, the screen gets all Grey, and then it goes all black. I have tried restarting, but the same thing happens. The only time it doesnt go black, is when I press Delete when it first starts up, but even there I don't know what to do because it has these tabs where it says: Main, Boot, Advanced, Power, and Exit.

I have a Vista Home Premium.

I am also having this problem where my other computer won't read discs, is there a way to fix that?

Can you boot into safe mode? Keep hitting F8 during bootup, choose safemode without networking.

OK then what?

Try doing a system restore while in safemode.

Nah I can't get into safe mode, I press F8 but it just gives me like the DVD/ CD drivers.
