Login problem

Well at this point anything is possible. Video drivers historically have caused lots of problems within windows, but if it was working fine and then this began I would look more closely at things you may have installed or connected to the computer. Was anything else changed?

I've installed new Nvidia graphic drivers and everything is working properly right now. Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi all,

Im having the same problems as the previous poster, except the latest drivers dont seem to have done anything.

When this machine boots, it should get to the usual login page and im presented with a black screen, and the HD light seems to just stop, as if nothing else is going on.

Yeah, my problem is the same as the last guys, previously this machine had a Nvidia GeForce 2, and I upgraded it to a Nvidia GeForce 4MX, and after a re-boot it seemed fine. I also think it worked for a few boots after that, but it just died after my brother moved the machine across the room, and put it back (without messing with anything internal). It seems to work fine is safe mode, but when I run dxdiag, it has alot of trouble finding anything.

So far ive tried:
Physically removing & reinstalling the card
Install the Latest Nvidia drivers (from Nvidia)
Install the Lastest Nvidia Drivers (from card manufacturer)
Uninstalling Direct X 9.0b
Re-installing DX version <9.0b
Installing DX 9.0c
System restore (multiple dates)

Im also considering buying a new graphics card, thinking that it maybe a hardware failure on the card.

Any suggestions will be very welcome.
