Blank screen and iomdisk.sys in safe mode

by lawrence_parnell . Updated 19 years, 8 months ago

hi,

im having a serious issue with my pc and i dont know what to do next expect throw my pc through the window. I have XP pro with 2gb ram and 2.4ghz pentium and a quadro 700 agp card. i installed another card (quadro 230) to get dual screens, and after installing the driver and rebooting, my pc went dead. When i say dead i mean that the pc boots up to Dell screen, the window splash screen for 10 seconds, and then the screen goes blank (dark) when the desktop should load. i waited 10, 20 mns but no change.
I can hear things happening, or access the shared directories on my desktop by using my laptop, but i cant see anything on my screen. i can even hit the keys to shut the pc down without seeing them (i remember them) and the pc turns off. so i guess the PC is ok, but the visuals are gone…or semi gone since i can see the boot up and window splash screen.
ive tried changing the graphics card, changing screen, running recovery console chkdsk /r, fixboot and fixmbr or even booting to safe mode, with no success. When i try to go to safe mode, or last config, or any other choice, it stops at iomsys. I tried disabling this service in the recovery console, but that didnt work..in fact, i would auto reboot without going anywhere.

HELPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!
