Ok, so one day I use my system restore(WinXP Pro)and my screen never comes up again. When I reboot my system I get the XP splash screen, then a black screen that only the pointer for my mouse will move on.
Things I’ve tried:
1. Boot in safe mode. – same problem only the screen says safe mode in the corners.
2. Unplugged all wires and made sure connections were tight. – same outcome
3. Opened tower and cleaned all internal pieces with airgun. – no dice
4. Made the 6 bootable recovery XP disks on floppy. – after the sixth disk, won’t take my password. won’t take any password
5. Ordered an OEM Windows XP HOME disk to try an change the OS all together. – Reads the disk, but doesn’t do anything.
6. Tried to change BIOS to boot in VGA mode. – no dice.
Any other suggestions? Should I try a new video card?
Thanks
