Hey guys,
Today my mate was trying to get his LCD TV set up with his PC and now his PC won’t boot
As far as I know he hasn’t changed and software setting, he only added the cable etc.
It may just be coincidence that his PC won’t boot, but it was fine yesterday?
Basically the machine gets a far as the Windows (XP Pro) load screen and then the monitor goes black although a signal is still being received… We've tried different monitors anyway.
After re-starting a couple of times, I’ve tried Last Known Working Configuration, Safe Mode etc but the LKWC drops out at the same point as a normal boot and Safe Mode just freezes
So far I’ve taken the graphics card out and tried a spare and I’ve also reset the Bios – the next step will be a full re-build; before that happens though has anyone got any ideas
Cheers,
SW.
