Hey,

I'm having some problems already with my new build... For about a month it's been working perfect, no problems at all. Now when I go to turn it on, it goes to the "boot in safemode" screen, then if I pick anything it goes to the black winxp screen for a sec, then the "no input" on my monitor comes up and it restarts. I can get into bios fine.

Any ideas? Something may be dead? One other thing, the computer was turned off via the power button (brother was angry at me :/ ), before it started doing this, thought I better just note this.

Thanks.

you've corrupted a driver by turning off without shutting down. It happens lots. If you can get into safe mode, do so and uninstall drivers - start with vga. if not then you might have to do a windows repair from your winxp CD.

It won't be a hardware problem.

Oh good, easy fix then, thanks a lot. I can't get into safe mode so I'll have to repair, cheers.
