:confused:So here's the deal. My comp i built 7 months ago has been getting the occasional blue screen of death every few days and shutting down instantly before I can get a look at what error desc is. But then it would restart up just fine.

Then yesterday again blue screen of death, shutdown, but now wont boot up at all. I start it up, shows my Asus logo and then after the next screen is supposed to show up where it shows all devices, it just goes black, nothing nada. Fans keep going no funny noises or nothing, just nothing onscreen at all(ive let it run for minutes) I can go into Bios but dont know what if anything i could change to fix this. A few times if I hit F keys a right time I can go to menu to choose to start via safe mode or last settings that work. Neither of those work, still goes black. There is also debugging mode option there, but never used that and no idea if it is worthwhile.

Please let me know if you have any clue as to where problem is and what if any troubleshoots I can try.

Specs:

Mobo= Asus a8n-e
cpu= amd 3700+ 64
HD=seagate SATA2 ST3160812AS
vid= geforce xfx 7800 gt 256 mb
running XP

Sounds like your hdd or possibly your PSU. Try to eliminate and isolate by doing a minimum setup.
