Hi Guys and Girls,
I had the same issue and found the information on here during a search. I was able to access in VGA mode and after a couple of attempts at changing settings, resolution etc I decided to do a restore. When my calander offered few options the one I chose was when I removed HP printer software I no longer needed. Suffice to say all is well now. I may still change my driver etc and have a look at my card for good measure. AMD 2800+ & Nividia 57300 home build. Thanks for the great advice, keep it up.

My screen also goes blank after the Windows logo comes on, I tried to put it into safe mode but all i get are a bunch of lines MSDOS codes or something and then the computer crashes on me. I have a HP dv series.

I have a Panasonic CF-48 and changed the refresh rate to low. Now the machines screen go's blank after the loading screen in all modes.

HELP! My computer boots up in the screen to choose safe mode but none of thoes option work at all they reboot it back to that same screen!
Windows XP is whats installed!!!

In general about installing any new graphics card.I ave found out that is better to disable all antispyware,firewall,pop-up,phishing,and any automatic updates,since some of the new programs do stop the drivers for the game cards to install properly,once I did this. all whent well,but make shure, follow instructions to the letter,defrag your drive too,most inportant,clean all broken DLL,,system mechanic7,has some good features in helping with many cleanups.bee carefull not to over do it ......peace out to all happy computing.Richard
