Hey,

For some reason my PC, which has otherwise been operating fine, has started turning to no output after the Windows loading, but before the login screen.

The mouse cursor appears, then turns to a hourglass on a black screen for a while, then goes black and my monitor informs me there is no signal.

Occasionally it will load, but 8/10 times this happens.

- I checked a tip recommending changing my jumper cable (turns out I have a SATA drive so this is invalid).

- I loaded the latest NVIDIA drivers whilst in safe mode.

No change.

I have been playing around with Creative drivers, trying to get my EQ to work (a whole other story), but I think this might have started before hand, and either way, it surely can' be related?).

Any advice for a very frustrating and intangible problem would be appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Alex
 
I have one ASUS VH226H, I use:

DVI for my PC
VGA for my Macbook
HDMI for my XBox 360

I'm on my Macbook right now, and it's a brand new monitor. And the only screen I use for anything in my room.
 
Finally logged in again, and it has a "your system has recovered from a serious error' message - I seem to remember it did last time to.

Looks like it's more to do with my PC.. Any ideas?
