Lose My Dsl Internet After Screen Saver Starts
I am still having a problem with winxp and dsl-internet connection being lost after being away from my computer for any period of time!
I've gone into the power management and turned off the option to power down the nic card when winxp enters screen saver mode. I also have turned off hibernation
Everytime i come back to the computer (say 30-60mins) i have no internet connectivity or very slow connectivity.

Computer Displays Post Screen Then Went To Black Screen
My computer has been running sluggish for about two days now. Was searching the web the other day and computer just came to a halt and froze. So i rebooted the computer and then it wouldn't start up. It displays the post screen but after that it went to a black screen with a white bar at the bottom of the screen. Looked like a progress bar. Rebooted again but same thing. Popped in the os disc and tried a check desk and fdisk and it came up with some errors. Got to stage 4 of 5 on them and then stopped at 50% for hours. So today i started it up again and it finally booted to the windows logo and then finally to desktop. Took around 30mins to do so. Hard drive light indicator is always on for the most part and takes forever to load applications. Okay, i guess my question is this about to be a hard drive failure? Never had one so clueless of what it is but would think it would have something to do with the hard drive. Also before it froze the other day, applications started being really slow. For example it took 10mins just for the save file dialog box to pop up to save a file.

No Post Screen Or Bios Beep
An old amd xp1600 system gave up the ghost. I've replaced the psu with a qtec 350w, replaced the mobo with an asus p4r800 vm and the new cpu is a p4 2. 8 ht and changed the memory to 512mb ddr400.connected all the ide cables, cpu fan cable, and both power cables to mobo and the front panel connectors to the header. When i power up the pc the cd/dvd drives work, cpu fan spins, power led on mobo lights and hdd makes encouraging sounds but no post screen or bios beep. Have tried reseating and checking all the connectors but still no joy. Anybody got any ideas why i shouldn't be getting a beep or post screen?

Do I Have A Dead Motherboard ? No Beep, No Bios Screen
This machine ran beautifully for over a year. For several months now, this homebuilt machine would occasionally fail to boot or restart, but it's gotten to where it will successfully post and boot maybe one out of 20 times. As of tonight, it will not boot no matter how many times i try. There's power - but no beep, no bios screen, just psu fan, cpu fan and case fan spinning. Pulled the board, and saw no sign of shorting. Thing's i've tried:
- Cmos battery (cr2032) was dead, at least my tester showed it just in the red, right below the green, so i thought, "aha!" And went to get a new battery today. Tested it before installing, it showed a full charge. Did the jumper thing on the motherboard that clears the cmos cache. Put in new battery - no difference. Dammit!
- Backside of motherboard shorted against the case? I pulled the motherboard, which was carefully stood-off when i installed it, completely out of the case, laid it on a dry towel, and connected only the 2 power connectors to the board, monitor to the on-board video connector, and one stick of ram (tried both sticks, one at a time). Attempted to power up to see if i'd get the post beep - it should post and show me the bios screen even if no drives are connected, right? But nothing. Just the psu, cpu and case fans come on. No beep, no bios screen. - Power supply? Pulled the power supply motherboard connector. Using a paper clip, i jumped the green and black pins to power up the psu while the connector was unhooked. The psu fan runs fine. With a digital multimeter, i tested all pins on the 24-pin atx power connector, plus the 4-pin cpu power connector. All the voltages are correct. The 3. 3v, 5. 0v, and 12. 0v values are all spot-on. I realize that is with no load, but it is something. - When the machine was running in xp, the asus motherboard monitoring app showed all voltages and temperatures to be normal. I rarely saw the cpu go above 45 celsius. - Seating of ram, video card, ethernet? Pulled everything and re-seated it. Tried both ram sticks, one at a time. - Ide issue? Tried every possible permuation of master/slave, primary/secondary on the ide chain with my ide devices, plus every ide cable i have lying around (which is quite a few). Also tried no ide at all. No difference. I'm at my wits' end! I am thinking the board is dead, since the psu seems to test out, and on the rare occassion when the machine does boot normally, it runs with perfect stability for days and days in either xp or os x, never had any sudden shutdowns out of nowhere. Here's the specs:
Processor: amd athlon 64 x2 4200+ dual-core - 2. 2ghz
Motherboard: asus m2nbp-vm
2gb ram (two sticks, 1 patriot and 1 crucial, tried together and individually)
320 gb sata hard drive
160 gb ide hard drive
Lg dvd-rw ide optical drive
Primo p4 atx mid tower case with 500w power supply
Added a geforce 7600 pci x16 for os x
Added a realtek 8139 pci ethernet card for os x
I am not doing any overclocking.

Two Tone Beep On Startup And Freezing At Windows Screen
I am fixing a computer for a friend. He installed a new video card and power supply. He got an error that said to "run the card at a low setting or upgrade the bios" (what he said). So he upgraded the bios. When he did this the computer started giving a continuous two tone beep after the normal single bios beep and would not get past the windows is starting screen. I booted the comp with the winxp disk and used the 'r' choice. And just did a system scan in dos. This caused the freezing to happen when the background appeared but nothing else. It also started saying that i needed to register that copy of windows xp. The time from the windows start screen to the background appearing is very long, about 1-2 minutes the rest of the startup looks normal. I have also tried to switch out the power supply (to a higher wattage), change the ram, change back to the original video card, reset the bios, reinstall the bios. Nothing works. The only thing i can figure is that it is a cpu, motherboard problem or something with the bios i am not getting. The cpu is not running hot according to the bios and there is no speed restriction, afaict, on the fan. It just lists its rpms. 3 of the motherboard capacitors have leaked slightly from the top at sometime in the past. Does this mean it is the motherboard and the bios change was just a coincidence?

Screen Flash Black For A Second
While at my desktop, in ie, or almost any other program my screen will flash black for 1 second then go back to whatever the original image was. Everyhing "seems" to lock up when it flashes in that you can't see the cursor move or "seem" to press any keys but it is actually just not reporting those actions to the display (they are happening but just not being displayed). Here is my hardware. I've tried 3 different display drivers but i'm going to see if a standard vga driver has the same behavior.

When Xp Loads Screen Goes Black
I turned my laptop on last night to find the display totally corrupted (even during boot-up). There were no warning signs or prior system changes, it just broke. Whenever it boots now, it does one of a few things; - screen is corrupt from the start, as xp loads screen goes black, system sits there with a black screen. - Screen is corrupt from the start, as xp loads screen goes black, system reboots itself, lather rinse repeat. - Screen is fine on boot, xp loads fine, but x minutes into the session the screen corrupts and freezes (could just be the screen or could be the whole laptop, i can't tell)
What i really want is someone to pat me on the head and say that it'll sort itself out and that i don't need to replace a £1000 laptop, but i'm thinking either the motherboard or gfx card has gone. Can anyone help me figure out what has caused this and where (if possible) i can get the spares to fix it.

Black Screen On Boot
I'm having problems with sil's computer. 600mhz celeron. About 6 years old i guess. Think it's a bad motherboard but would like some input. She was having many many problems, not booting into windows. She just had the power supply replaced. Recently it would freeze on boot, after many tries would work. But then it stopped altogether while i was visiting, freezing on beginning bios screen. I took it apart. Removed everything, hd's all pci cards, cd's etc. Then i cleared the cmos. After i did that i couldn't even get it to boot into the bios. Simply a black screen. No beeps, nothing from motherboard. I even removed the memory to see if i'd get any warning beeps, award bios. Nothing! Did i do something wrong when clearing cmos? I had the mb manual right there. I happened to have purchased for my son a very similar computer that weekend for $35, which works great. Tried using that cpu, same kind, nothing. Used the $35 memory, nothing. Sil lives 800 miles away, so i took it home with me. Since i've tried different jumper settings clock, ratio. Nothing. Replaced cmos battery. Still nothing, no beeps, no bios. Cpu is seated properly, heat sink too. Motherboard looks fine on inspection, no blown capacitors, but i guess it's fried? Anything i might have missed before trashing it?

Hp Pavilion Black Screen
I was recently giving a hp pavilion by my brother when he moved out of the house and he told me if i could get it running it was mine to keep. Apparently it crashed on him and he thinks the hard drive is messed up. The operating system is windows vista i know that. When i boot up the computer everything is normal until i get past the loading screen and it just gives me a black screen, i tried putting in the system recovery cd to wipe everything clean from the hard drive, but i boot it up get the black screen which after several minutes changes to a blue screen, then after several more minutes changes to a the system recovery screen. From there i tell it to restore to factory qualities then it freezes at 0%. Any suggestions as to what im doing wrong?

Screen Resolution Went Completely Black
I went to the menu for display, then settings, then moved the screen resolution slider from the minimum to the maximum. Unfortunantly the screen then went completely black and a little message popped up saying that it was out of limits. I have tried plugging another screen in and the same message came up. I also tried putting my lcd tv on it but it just keeps saying not supported. The computer was handed down from my mum so i don't have any of the manuals or anything. Help me! How do i reset it so that i can use it again. There is nothing on the computer that i don't mind losing, if there was a way of resetting it to factory setting that would be fine, i just don't know what to do.

Detecting Array - Black Screen
Recently my pc hung in the "windows is shutting down" stage of the shutdown process, so i used the power button to turn it off. Next day i boot up to get past the biostar logo screen, press f1 to boot up in the choice menu then get to nother black screen saying "detecting array. " Nothing happens after this. A few more attempts at booting un, using the power key to turn off i manage to boot up. Now next day i find the computer shuts down fine but it now hangs at the biostar logo screen, keyboard lights flash up then off, mouse and keyboard do nothing screen is stuck at the logo screen for the biostar motherboard. I tried again, then again but it only boots randomly. Im on now but i had to unplug everything in the back of the pc except the keyboard and hammer on the delete button to get into the bios, from there it will restart and boot fine. Any suggestions?!

Black Screen / Beeping Sound
A pii 400mhz came in the workshop with a problem that's got me scratching my head. It posts ok, reads memory, etc, but just before the operating system loads, you hear a beeping sound and the monitor goes black. No signal is sent to the monitor. The video card is agp, i tried another card, also tried a pci card. I've tried fiddling around in the bios, such as disabling power management, but no luck. You can hear the os loading, but can't see anything.

Samsung Syncmaster Screen Black
I have a samsung syncmaster 931bw and yesterday the screen just went black. If i turn the monitor off and then on again it will display my desktop for about 3 seconds and then it goes black again! I can't figure out whats wrong with it because it has to be the monitor and not the computer, i've hooked it up to my laptop and same thing, turn it off and then on and i have 3 seconds of working and then black again.

Screen Turning Black In Minecraft
Why is my screen turning black when i log in to minecraft? I have the exe. File, my computer is windows 7, and i have tried on my other computer (windows vista) and it works fine, is it something to do with my graphics card? So therefore it wont work altogether? And can you download it to 2 computers and run it both on them or should i delete it of the vista computer and try again with my windows 7 one? I really want to play this game!

Black Screen - Pc Powers Up But Will Not Boot
I recently purchased a computer. I just replaced the stock heatsink with a thermaltake big typhoon from newegg, and i installed new motherboard mounting screws as well. I had to remove the motherboard in order to do this. Now, when i press the power button, the fans go on, the new cpu fan turns on, the video card fan goes, and the power led is on. However, all i get is a black screen. I have experimented and found that the harddrive does not make noise unless i unplug the ide cable first. Similarily, the dvd rw tray does not open unless i first unplug the ide cable to it. I think it is a motherboard issue, but i could be wrong.

Screen Damaged With Black Blobs
Remedy the situation? The screen developed circular black blobs but over a number of weeks, faded out and my screen was ok apart from a one centimeter strip at the bottom of the screen which no longer works. Recently my screen suffered another assault, this time from hot tea! Once again these surprisingly circular black blobs have formed, the largest of which has begun to fray at the edges and fade a bit. Is there anything i can do to speed up the process of getting rid of these blobs?

Nvidia 9800gt Black Screen
I've had this pny nvidia geforce 9800gt 1024mb ddr3 video card for about a year, and just yesterday i came back home to my computer to have my screen completely black, no artifacts or anything. I restarted my computer only to have the same exact problem, even when trying to boot with the last good configuration. I'm running on a x64 bit vista os, at first i thought that i downloaded an incompatible driver but i chose the right one. I've been looking for solutions everywhere and i can't seem to find one that relates to me. I'm desperate for help. Tomorrow i might head to my local computer shop and ask if they can either test a video card on my machine to see if it's the motherboard or the actual card that's messed up to diagnose the problem. So far my theory is that the driver is messed up. When i boot up vista, i see the "gateway" logo, and then the green bar that loads, but as soon as i get to the login screen (i pass login since my computer logs me in automatically) i hear sound but the screen is completely black with no cursor or anything. I ran my computer in safe mode and it works perfectly fine, but the only way to run windows normally is to uninstall my display driver and boot up normally. However, doing this will also make windows automatically install the driver because of the auto updates.

How To Fix Black Screen After Bios?
Description of problem: when i boot the computer the normal beep is heard and then the motherboard logo, i have the to enter the bios. After the motherboard logo disappears the screen goes black and where i usually have a screen that lets me choose between booting vista or windows 7 there is nothing. The only light on the computer is the green power light and the busy orange light is off and not moving. It is almost as if the computer gives up and just displays nothing.
Pre-problem: i was playing garrys mod for a good 5+ hours when i minimized the game i noticed my computer was slouching along and barely able to operate a web browser. So i closed garrys mod and went back to the desktop where it started to respond faster and i just figured that the ram was used up and like any other time a reboot would fix the problem. I keep my computer very clean and i defrag often and the only program running at all times is avg. After turning the computer off i turned it back on and now the problem has started. What i've done so far:
* I have unplugged all the hdds, disk drive, gpu and ram and plugged them back in. I kept a eye out for any kind of damage but i could find none. After putting the computer back together nothing has changed.
* I have gone to the bios and looked through to make sure that everything on the computer is responding. The bios can see every hdd and gives the accurate slot location and capacity of the drives. It can see the cpu and all the information is accurate. Motherboard and cpu fans are all responding and the voltage readings are all where they should be.
* I have ran boot post and all 4 gb of ram is ok.
* I have switched monitors and still have a black screen, i have switch gpu and still have the same problem.
* I have tried unhooking the hdds and running the hdd that only has the os windows 7 and still the same. I tried only hooking up the hdd with windows vista and still the same.
* I created both a windows 7 boot disk and a windows system repair disc and whenever i try to boot from cd-rom is comes up saying boot disk failure, enter a system disk. I tried this all three different hdds hooked up at once. I think i have eliminated these from causing the problems: gpu, ram, hdd(all 3), cpu, motherboard and psu. I cannot figure out what is going on with my computer and this has never happened before, it is clearly custom built and has been problem free since i built it over a year ago. The hdd i put windows 7 on is brand new and the cpu i put in went in without a problem. If you have any suggestions, please share them. Meanwhile i am going to try and test the disk drive in another computer and i am going to swap disk drives to see if a different one will accept the boot disks.
Edit- i forgot to add that the cpu is running at normal idle temp. Here are the specs for the computer i'm having problems with:
Cpu: wolfdale core 2 duo e8400
Gpu: zotac nvidia gtx 260 216 core
Ram: g-skill gaming ram (2 x 2 gb)
Psu: x-power 585 watt
Motherboard: asus p5n-d
Hdd: 2 x 1 tb samsung, ~300gb maxtor ide
Os: windows 7 ultimate 32-bit, windows vista home premium 32-bit

Laptop Screen Goes Black When Idle
Every minute or so, my laptop screen will go black, like its on standby. This only happens when it is not plugged in and recharging. Also, i already went to control panel and adjusted the screensaver to 30 minutes and clicked apply, but that hasn't helped either. I was told it could be that hibernate mode was on or something, but i dont know where to find that either. My laptop is a asus windows 7 if that helps.
