Answer 1

Your video driver may have become corrupt or you could have inadvertently turned off the primary video. Check your wires are fully plugged in also.

Check the back of your box and see if you have two places to put your video in. One is an on-board video and the other is installed video card. If it is in the installed video card open the box after you have turned it off and unplugged it and remove the card then plugged the monitor into your on board video port. Then turn it back off and reinstall the video card.

If you only have one Video port you may have to use the voice narrator in Windows. Activate this by holding down the Windows button between CTRL and ALT and hitting the U button. Move the mouse around and try to work through reactivating your primary video.

You can download ccleaner for free here: http://bit.ly/1Bk5V5C

First open CCleaner
Go to the Cleaner tab and you will be confronted by a very confusing lineup of checkboxes.
To make this brief, below is my recommended setup:
Under internet explorer check temporary internet files, cookies, and last download location. Most users don't really need this stuff. keep history and bookmarks unchecked, history is a maybe, but you don't want to lose bookmarked sites. You can normally leave Windows Explorer, System, and Advanced alone.
Run CCleaner and it will start deleting files.
afterward it will present you with a list of the files deleted, you really don't need to go through it as it will be several pages long.
The registry cleaner is recommended for slightly more advanced users. Use it after uninstalling programs as they will often leave behind incorrect registry entries.
If you decide to run Registry cleaner then review the items detected and always back up the registry (I keep a folder aside for this)
The Tools tab lets you uninstall programs and set startup programs. Why do you need this if Windows has all of these features? Especially with Vista Home Ed. The windows defender software explorer( startup programs) doesn't pick up some entries (however software explorer is easier to use).
Using CCleaner to uninstall programs and then check for leftover registry entries takes less time.
Under Options you can determine how CCleaner cleans your files. I leave this alone.

Answer 3

Wait Untill You hear The Sound Of It Loging On. IE: Wait about 10mins After Starting Up

Then Shake Your Mouse And Press Your Keyboard.

I Don't Have ANy Other Ideas.

Sorry!

Answer 4

To access the BIOS, on some machines you need to hold down the DEL key while it boots, on others it's F2. Alternatively, try starting the PC with the monitor off, then turn the monitor on after the PC has apparently booted.

Answer 5

unplug the power supply to the PC and wait 10-20 Min's the hook it back up and try again.

Answer 6

Turn your computer completely off.
Unplug your computer, as well as your monitor.

Wait a few seconds...

and plug them booth back into the outlet.

This may help...

Good luck--
