Windows 7 Black Screen on start up
My computer had started acting a little funny before this issue had arived. It showed a significant slowdown on startup and applications took a while to start and sometimes would not work at all, but i did not address the issue because i did not install anything recently other than software to enable a ps3 controller on my computer from motioninjoy. I have heard/ seen many negative things about this program and regret ever installing it on my computer. Also the emulator I was using was pcsx2.
I am not able to start in safe mode because the screen goes black before i get the chance. I only get the initial boot up screen where i can press f2 or f12 and then it goes black
i have been using my computer on this particular setup for 3 months now and nothing has ever caused a problem, please help me i need this computer for school work!
my specs are
dell studio xps 8100
radeon hd 5700
8gb ram
intel i7
hooked up to a hp w2072a monitor using a dvi connection
some additional information:
when left on for an extended period of time my graphics card starts to work hard but nothing comes up and the screen evenually turns a pale blue (not the normal bluescreen) and no text comes up
I think it is a driver issue but I am not sure any feed back would be appreciated!
