There is no picture but I don't even think windows is fully loading because I don't hear any sounds,etc like normal when it does.
I was able to get into windows with no problem and my desktop using safe mode. I tried to do a restore from a restore point of last week, but the same thing happens when I try to load windows as normal. One time I got an error my display driver could be responsible for system instability and a drawing operation was unable to complete. I tried to update or roll back my video card driver in safe mode but I don't have a better driver than it has already, and there was nothing for it to roll back to. I think possibly my video card is dead but not sure how to tell. The next thing I was going to do was to uninstall the video card, reboot and see if windows recognizes it. Do you have any advice on what I can try next? |
Disable the video card and use VGA mode as the default setting and see if you get a picture then. If so, it could be as simple as a corrupt video driver (you can download that from the internet) or possibly a video card. What card are you running?
