No output to Monitor together with unusual response from Start Button
On bootup on my Win 7 64-bit desktop nothing appeared on the monitor , just a completely black screen .
I realise this could be due to several causes - monitor failure , video card problems etc and I have yet to check these out but my reason for posting here before I do these basic checks is that this problem is accompanied by an unusual response to the Power button which did not exist before as far as I am aware.
When I got this black screen I pressed the power button to switch the PC off . normally this requires you to hold this button down for about 5-10 secs . This time when I did this the PC started to power up again and , to prevent this , I now have to hold this button down for , at least 30 secs or so , before the PC stays off.
Could this power button anomaly be related to this black screen ? .
