Valid Assumptions from a completely black screen on Boot ?
My PC has just presented me with a completely black screen on Boot Up which has no error messages or text showing. The fans power up as do , I think , the DVD drive and there is a power light showing on the external drive . The usb printer also has power.
Obviously there could be several causes for this , including failure of the monitor, video cards , ...etc.
However , before I start digging into the case and , as I am having OS problems , I am assuming that this result of a completely black screen cannot be explained by an OS failure to boot !
Is that a reasonable assumption ?
If the problem was the failing to boot , I assume I would still get some DOSS-TYPE script appearing on the monitor .
Do you agree ?
