    So when I go into Device Manager and I open Display Adapters, should I uninstall NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400?
    It won't stop my monitor from working or anything??!

    Kaktussoft: switching the monitor on and off again works fine normally but with the black screen it doesnt change anything

    I just uninstalled the display adapter and restarted it. Basically, the actual computer works fine but it looks like it is in safe mode as the screen in fuzzy and everything is bigger. So, I tried to reinstall the driver but the computer told me it had already done that so I just turned the computer off again. Now, I have just restarted the computer but have the black screen again...so I'll have to wait a couple of hours before I see if anything has changed!

    Do you really have to wait a couple of hours??? Very sure?
    Computers don't know how long they are power off ;-)

    Is the computer/monitor overheated?? that's the only thing I think about if it's always true.

    Yep! Definitely a couple of hours...it won't respond to anything apart from a hard shut down. And no, the monitor does not appear to be overheating or anything.

    pressing power off button once should normally shutdown the machine. Does it as you see the desktop with icons? Does it when having black screen?

    It sounds as if you reinstalled teh same set of drivers as are currently failing - you need to download and install a completely new set, from the manufacturer's website.
    I do NOT think it's a hardware problem, but a software one, and the system is locking out the drivers for some reason.

    The power off button does work, I just checked and it does shut down when on the black screen.
    NoelDP: so if I just went to the Microsoft website and got a new set?? I'll try that when my computer decides to work again, thank you!
