When booting up winodws, everything works fine til the windows logo, it loads for about 5 seconds then the screen goes black. I tried loading in safe mode but before i get the option to select anything, the screen again goes black. This happens with every option ive tried, it allows me to see it for a couple of seconds but i cannot select anything because the screen goes black. Do i need a new power supply? graphics card? video card? or is it totally messed up and need a new one?

Cheers for the help.

I would try and plug in a working monitor if you can get your hands on one for the test boot the machine up and see if the screen stays on if it does then its a problem with the monitor and not the card. Also if the monitor have the same connection as your one try it with its power lead and see if it stays on more than 5 sec you get the story lol.
