Gateway All-In-One PC problem

[PCBliss]

Im working on a gateway all-in-one PC with the LCD and everything built into the same unit. Stupid design in my opinion. Anyway, The PC turns on and displays the splash screen and then the screen goes blank. If you wait a minute you can hear the windows sound as it goes to the windows desktop. Im unsure of what the problem might be. The monitor seems fine because I can see the splash screen when it first turns on for like 1 second. The rest of the PC seems fine as well since it goes into windows. Any ideas?

Is there a vga out you could hook another monitor up to? Try booting in safe mode and see what it does.

I hooked up an external monitor but nothing shows up there... Ill try and see if I can boot to safe mode in the dark

perhaps there is a problem with the screen because I cant get the OSD to come up at all. Just strange that it does display the gateway splash screen just fine
