Title: safe mode only...now black screen
Post by: Kelly on October 23, 2005, 04:10:08 PM

Hello

The computer that I am working on would only start up in start mode. I installed drivers for the NIC. Device managers looked good, Drivers there. Restarted, tried last known good config. That didn't help, I restarted, clicked system restore, that didn't help, swapped out NIC cards, (thought hardware issue) Nope, reinstalled original NIC and drivers, restarted NOw I don't even see the start up or post beeps...just black screen

Please Help.

Kellee:

Did you install the drivers for the NIC before or after the problem starting your computer began?
