Black screen on startup after running antivirus
Hello all,
Today I ran superantispyware and MBAM, they found a bunch of adware but nothing very serious. Then since they prompted to restart, I shut down the computer and when trying to boot, I simply get a black screen. How do I manage to boot at least in safe mode to see what is wrong?
Things I have tried:
1. First I assumed I needed to wait for the antiviruses to finish, but after some 10 minutes nothing changed.
2. As far as I can tell, the monitor is working. The ON light is on, and when it is powered on but PC is not yet booted it cycles through words "analog","digital","HDMI" in upper left corner as usual. So the screen is working.
3. I unplugged everything else, leaving only monitor and power cords and tried booting then.
4. UNplugged and plugged back the monitor and power cords and al cords on monitor side.
After this I am still getting the same black screen. What else should I try?
