[QUOTE="Ninjapoopy, post: 2767220, member: 917750"] Last night I took my pc tower to my friends house to game out, I only brought my tower as he already has extra cables and an extra monitor. Brought it there, hooked it up to his equipment and everything worked fine. This morning I brought my tower back home, hooked it back up to all of my stuff again and booted'er up. Everything seemed fine, I saw the boot-up screen and the loading screen and then right when it is supposed to go to the log-in/enter password screen it goes blank. I still hear the sound that windows makes at that screen, and if I blindly enter in my password I can hear it log in and everything. I tried various power cycles and unplug/plug-in techniques but I always get the same thing. Since I can see the display during boot-up I tried entering safe mode, when I do that it doesn't go blank and everything works fine. It's only when I start it up in normal mode that it will go blank at the log-in screen. I'm using a coby tv/monitor hooked up via VGA cables and I've never had any problems, my desktop doesn't have an hdmi output or I would try that. Haven't had any problems until I simply hooked it up to my friends monitor and then back up to mine. In safe mode I try to mess with the resolution in the control panel but no matter what I change it to nothing happens and upon reboot it defaults back. Please help! I think I just may need to get my graphics card to recognize it again but for some reason it won't. and in safe mode I can't see or configure my nvidia video card driver. Just the system drivers and such. Here is my dxdiag info, since I 'm in safe mode it's not showing the display devices info but I'm using a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT. Thanks!
