davey Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi darkslider, The first cause Microsoft support lists for most of this problem is booting with some media in your CD,dvd, or floppy .Says remove media and boot again. Also says hitting ESC key causes this. Anything laying on your ESC key? Black screen when booting This is what I searched on in Microsoft. Using F8 or F5 to boot into safe mode? Good luck, davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkslider Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well Dave that's not the awnser but thanks for trying no nothing on my esc key and no media in any drives. This is a really good question because I have looked for hours online to find the solution and I'm not bad about locating an awnser. Who ever is able to fix this problem is going to be a real pro, but thanks for playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 BTW what happens if you just hit enter after the screen goes black. Although you might not want to.If you have done all that searching then you already know what Cause #2 is. Don't forget to fill us in with your system info.This may attract someone who has been through the problem. davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkslider Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 I am running xp and nothing happens when I press enter or ctrl alt del either, and no I haven't seen anybody with the awnser to this problem what is cause #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkslider Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 It sends no signal to the monitor if I try to boot in safe mode with the disk or not. Is there a way to change what kind of video output your computer is sending to the monitor?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spysnake Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Maybe your multimonitor-combination is only supported in normal mode because of the drivers. Yes, suggestion above should fix it. It's because Windows only loads the core system components in safe mode and that leads to many differences in your graphics card's operating behaviour (at least a low resolution on every system).

davey Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Hi again, Don't worry about Cause #2 right now. I would follow the advice you were given about getting down to one monitor. First thing go to Services and make sure Plug and Play is started and on Automatic. Click on Safely Remove Hardware Icon in task notifications area to see what it displays. Click on References to any extra Monitors other than the one you are going to use. Unplug unused Monitors. Then go to Device Manager and click on Display Adaptors, Right click on first one and click on Uninstall. Click on Action on tools bar and click on Search for New Hardware. Click on Restart when pop-up window comes up. Let restart into normal mode.You may get messages.Reply accordingly.If you end up in a Wizard reply "No not this time "when you see it and keep going.You may also get a lot of "new hardware found messages " .This is normal. Restart will be a little longer than normal. Go to Device Manager again.. Do same thing with Monitor as you did with Display Adapter earlier except this time you will not get pop-up window.This may work a little different on you system. Now why are you needing to restart in safe mode? If it is still necessary, do next step. Now try reboot into Safe Mode. Your screen is going to look weird until you reboot again. Come back and fill us in. davey Clickety-click,Clickety-click,Clickety-click...... Edited January 19, 2008 by davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeeCee Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Maybe your multimonitor-combination is only supported in normal mode because of the drivers. Yes, suggestion above should fix it. It's because Windows only loads the core system components in safe mode and that leads to many differences in your graphics card's operating behaviour (at least a low resolution on every system). Yes, i got computer hooked up (s-video) to TV and i get "Cannot Display This Video Mode" message, when Windows is loading. If i boot up to safe-mode, screen stays black, even after Windows has booted up. I have to unplug s-video cable from TV to solve that. This info is from my Dell monitor user's guide: OSD Warning Messages A warning message may appear on the screen indicating that the monitor is out of sync range. Cannot Display This Video Mode This means that the monitor cannot synchronize with the signal that it is receiving from the computer. Either the signal is too high or too low for the monitor to use. See Specifications for the Horizontal and Vertical frequency ranges addressable by this monitor. Recommended mode is 1024x768 @ 60Hz. Occasionally, no warning message appears, but the screen is blank. This could also indicate that the monitor is not synchronizing with the computer or the monitor is in a power save mode.

Hi Again, This is the best link I can find for you. You are apparently having "Multiple Monitors Windows XP" problems.
