    I would recommend rebooting in Safe Mode, if you're using Windows XP (any version). To do this, start your computer and hold down the F8 key. You will be greeted with the Windows Advanced Options menu. Select "Safe Mode". For more information, you can check out this link.

    If you are using another platform, like an older Windows release or Linux or Mac OS, then I wouldn't be able to suggest anything. Sorry!

    Make sure you don't have a floppy disk in the computer when it starts. I've done that before and couldn't figure out why my computer wasn't working and then realized there was a disk in there!

    I have the same trouble. My video is GeForce FX5600. The computer starts but the monitor is in standbye. It normally performs a POST sequence and then starts the OS. But the screen leaves blank! Though if I would restart the comp on and on it eventually turns on. I've replaced the capacitors on the videoboard but the problem remains. I give oneself up to despair... Please help me!

    A little more info may be needed. Does your computer post - show any bios & memory info when restarted? If so, run windows in safe mode as stated above, most likely a windows driver error.

    If nothing appears after rebooting, the problem may lie within the motherboard and/or the power supply. I've had a power supply fail on me, but had enough power to turn the system on but wouldnt post or display anything on the screen.

    Hopefully its just windows in your case, quicker to fix the problem then figuring out which hardware is faulty and installing replacements.

    Based on what you told me I will assume that you turn on your computer and nothing happens on your screen. With this, check your ram, try each stick one at a time.

    Here is the solution !!!!
    if ur able to open ur task manager u can fix the problem.....
    when ever ur desktop opens with a black screen just press ctrl+alt+delete
    and in task manager go to File-->New task(Run) and type "regedit" then go to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
    when u click winlogon u can see so many REG_SZ in right side of ur Registry editor
    in that u can see a Reg_SZ named "shell" so delete it.
    Now Create new Reg_SZ by right clicking then New-->StringValue then rename it as shell.
    Now open it and u can see Value name and Value Data.
    In value data Type this C:\Windows\Explorer.exe
    and press enter
    thats it and desktop should appear :)


    Enjoy.......
