Hi, I currently deployed military and I?m having an issue with my personal desktop pc running XP. If you have time and are willing, I?m mainly looking for any other suggestions of what to try as I?ve tried all I know so far. Basically, the computer will boot up, but once past the XP boot screen the video goes away. You can tell it boots all the way up by some of the sounds it makes ? just no video. Tried removing the card, using only the onboard video with no luck. Removed the hard drive and installed it in another computer and it does the same thing. Also unable to boot XP in safe mode because it hangs up. Tried resetting the RAM, changing video settings in the BIOS ? no luck. I have the restore DVD but haven?t tried it yet. If I can just somehow copy some of the files I need off of the hard drive using it in another computer, then I?ll restore the system with the DVD once I get the files. That?s just beyond my scope right now. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance….
