MrMeanGreen Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Video card or on-board video went dead. Replace the card or add one if on-board. I have a few laying around, you can bring the PC over and we'll get it running again. I also have an XP disk or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Start the PC and hold F8, boot into Safe Mode. Adjust your video settings away from 256, save the changes, and reboot. This oughta fix the video problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattsv8 Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 hey i got it to boot in safe mode. but after the win xp thing comes up the screen goes blank and then nothing. i know it still works but no graffix are displayed on the monitor. i tried setting the vga different diddnt help. i wanted to reboot from a date like a week ago then just let it come up with that date with everything working and just change the date. i ve done that on a older comp. this one has no where to select that. when it comes on first it says system info f10 and boot f1. i hit f1 then f8 and it said safe mode. and a lot of other things one was for techs. i beleive. but nowhere to set the date. any ideas?
