Black screen , no cursor, PC Still on ?
Have windows 7 home premium updated with most recent patches etc. In the last week I haven't installed any software or made any system changes.
After 5 - 15 minutes of use, my screen is going black while the PC stays on. I changed the video card and it still happens so that is not the issue. It does not happen in safe mode. Something is triggering this black screen with no cursor or ability to reset , ctrl alt delete, etc. I have to hold down the power button on my box to restart the computer.
Does anyone have ideas on next steps I could take to try and solve this? Before doing a brand new win 7 install ? given it starts in safe mode, im trying to figure out what is causing this...
Thanks very much,
Joe
