BLACK screen of death, very bizzare
Hello all,
I've been having a strange problem with my new PC.
two days ago I got a new PC,
It has-
-HD4850 Radeon
-Intell E6550 Dual core
-Asus P5Kpl/epu
-Artic Power 700w
- Windows 7 Ultimate
-120GB HDD SATA
-500GB HDD SATA
So anyway, my friends and I set the PC up, no problems, install windows 7 and it's working fine,
I take it home and start installing things like MSN, Firefox, Windows Updates, the usual. Until, after a window 7 update it asks me to restart, so I do, it get's past the Asus motherboard BIOS screen than just hangs on a black screen, no mouse cursor, nothing.
I than try entering safe mode, however the option cannot be found what so ever, no matter how many F8s I press etc.
So I get the win 7 disc and it let's me enter safe mode (well Vista CE) however I cannot system restore or anything, so my friend and I wipe the HDD it's installed on, and do a fresh install.
I take the PC home, I'm downloading and installing things again, it's fine, I download the ATI Catalyst Centre, restart and it hangs on the Windows is starting screen, so I turn it off and on again, it tries to 'repair' the system, restart and again I get the black screen AGAIN.
I have no idea what to do, I've tried taking out both bits of ram at diff times to see if it's that, it still hangs, I've tried using one moniter and dual-moniter, it still hangs.
I'm out of ideas,
If any of you can spare the time to help me, I'd be extremely greatful, thanks for your time,
Lui
