Lufria 1 Report post Posted December 26, 2009 could be a number of things, depending on what your exactly doing. If it correctly loads to windows (IE, goes through the boot sequence and DOESNT automatically reboot) There's a good chance your video settings are either too high or not set correctly. What it then does is sets it to those values, then since the screen can't display it, it just stays dark.Did you put a new video card in recently, or update drivers on it?First and foremost though, if you can log into safe mode, get back in and backup all data to a flash drive, just in case.
