I have an older E machine with onboard GPU. I know no one seems to like e-machines but bare in mind it has worked flawlessly for over 8 yrs if not a little slower than the new PC’s of today.
Windows XP SP3
Went to paste a link in outlook then the screen went blank. reset power and the screen usually goes blank (stops sending signal to monitor) after the windows logo passes. Sometimes I get the login prompt but when entering password and pressing enter it goes blank.
I can select the choice for safe mode but it gets to Loading……MUP.sys and just stops and the screen will go blank shortly after.
I added an AGP graphics card thinking the onboard was bad but no luck.
safe mode with command prompt I was able to do a chkdsk /F /R it told me to reboot for this and I did, Screen cam up for a few minutes as it was checking disk then went blank. I could not tell if there was any hard disk activity but I let it run for about an hour just to be safe.
Rebooted and no luck.
Any Ideas?
