Problem

After turning on your computer on and seeing the windows loading screen with a scroll bar just under the logo your screen goes off and/or goes to standby (with a flashing light) yet your computer still runs no matter how long you leave it.

Solution

This problem is caused by your video drivers being corrupted. Restart your computer (Ctrl + Shift + Del twice for those with Win ME) and then on loading your computer go to safe mode..

Load up your computer and go to Start > Run > and type “dxdiag” (without the “”) in the box.. press ok and allow this box to load. Go to display and find out what video card you have.

Now search for the relevent drivers in google.

Once you’ve got those drivers follow the instructions to remove the current driver and then install the new one.

Voila.. now just restart and you should be on your way.
