1. Reboot your system.
2. When you hear the beep, press F8 (load in safe mode)
3. Once system loads, uninstall the video driver (control panel)
4. Reboot
This will take you back to the base VGA driver that Windows has built in.
Now, if you know who made your video card and what model it is, go to www.omegadrivers.net and download the correct drivers for your video card. Install them, reboot and all will be fine IF it is the video drivers that are causing the issue.

This issue might occur if the display driver is caught in an infinite loop while it waits for the video hardware to become idle. This issue typically indicates a problem with the video hardware or that the display driver cannot program the hardware correctly.
To resolve this issue, obtain and install the most current driver for your video adapter, or replace your video card.
To work around this issue, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Display.
2. On the Settings tab, click Advanced, and then click the Troubleshoot tab.
3. Move the Hardware Acceleration slider to None, and then click to clear the Enable Write Combining check box.
4. Click OK, and then click OK.
Note This procedure prevents the display driver from programming the hardware incorrectly, but you may lose some display functionality and performance. Although you can increase the hardware acceleration settings higher than None to regain functionality and performance, these settings increase the chance that the issue will occur again. For maximum stability, leave hardware acceleration off.

Start up your computer. You know how the windows logo appears with the loading bar? Well, before that, you'll see a black screen.
When the black screen goes on with the blinking underline mark, rapidly press F5. Then, it'll show a mini command prompt of what to do. Choose the first option, "Start Windows in Safe Mode".
Let windows load up normally, then press no when a message appears. That will enable System Restore. there, choose a point in time when your computer worked (the most recent would help) then restore.
The computer will automatically restore and restart. If you have continued problems, find what graphics chip or something you have and ask the maker or windows.
