black screen on boot-up
Additionally - the system stays "up" as long as necessary to reinstall. I reinstalled once by using the built-in (?) HP PC Recovery option, but got the black screen shortly after establishing internet connectivity.
I also reinstalled with a MS XP CD to ANOTHER HARD DRIVE and the same thing happened - black screen shortly after finishing the install.
This is an HP Pavilion A705W with no user modifications - 1GB RAM, 75GB HDD (more or less)and minimal dust in the case. I even pulled the cpu cooler and re-pasted it (looked dry) just in case.
So - any ideas?
