Problems started today when i tried to turn on my computer, im running Vista Home Premium x64. The loading bar screen would show up and then after that it would go black like usual, but then my monitor would show that there was no input available and the computer would hang in this state forever. Any suggestions? I know a new HD would probably fix it all but im not sure i really want to spend all the money, literally just built this baby 2 weeks ago!

how about a "last known good" from the boot menu. Press F8 right at the end of the bios loader screen and choose the last known good boot config menu option. It that doesn't work try safemode or vga mode.

comp works fine for 2 weeks then breaks - 2 possible causes:

a) windows update downloads screwed up driver
b) hardware part goes bad

your problem is probably related to graphics card. I would borrow an old video card and see if that makes a difference. good luck.

Sorry such a late reply, I've been on vacation. I have already tried taking out the sticks of RAM and testing them one at a time and that doesn't seem to be the problem, and also i have 8gb, not 4gb. Have tried last known good configuration also, no go =(. Also, how would i go about formatting my hard drive? Vista isn't seeming to boot from the CD which is the other issue.


Edit: I also can't boot into safe mode. Hangs after loading the needed files. Is there any other way besides using another video card to test if the video card is the problem?

yes i had that installed, i think im going to wait for SP1 to come out for vista. I've been able to restore but the updates keep messing up my computer. Going to do a clean install, install only the few fixes for gaming, and then wait until SP1. CURSE MICROSOFT!!!
