My first post and I apologize if anyone before me has asked this question or brought up this topic. But, here I go anyways. My computer last night was working as far as I knew, I had no problems with it. When I woke up this morning, after shutting down the pc last night and sleeping, I turned the computer back on and it posted fine, no problems there, and it appeared to start loading Windows XP Professional Edition. When it showed the loading bar, it would proceed to load for 5 seconds or so and then the screen would go black. The monitor is just about brand new, I think 2 weeks old or so and its been working fine.
I was told by jdclyde to create a profile here because everyone was helpful and usually “trip” over each other to answer questions. I do not claim to be a IT professional, but an IT novice. If anyone would be able to assist me I would more than appreciate it.
