my latest entry was talking about bios and then I was in a hurry. Also my next questions were to look after an update which orca confirmed in the post above edit: was a try
Well, troubleshooting with drivers/bios updates is all you can do when you don't have extra hardware parts to swap around for testing. It seems as though there are many users experiencing the similar problem as the search for "windows 8.1 black/blank screen" turns up hundreds of posts everywhere. Again, the video card seems to be the issue at hand. Try to grab a cheapo used one if you can. In the mean time, play around with power management settings in CMOS/BIOS setting.
whatever just for the sake of checking the function. Best is to go to a friend who has an old one which fits into your slot. If you need to buy a card, get the lowest level with the specs for your board
Ok will do. Well it's 4am here and I need sleep. Will update if anything comes up tomorrow. Thank you for all your help. If anyone thinks of anything please post to me.... Onces again thank you.
Hello all Well I fixed the problem and you are never going to believe what was causing it......... The bloody network card I'm writing this from the PC and it seems to be working fine with 3 successful boots. Just install drivers now. Thank you everyone for all your help. Matt
hahahah yes I'm sorry I dropped the bomb on that one...... Thank science for the guys over at pc specialist. I have to admit, When he said take out your network card "I was thinking this guys losing it" But no first boot, first time. I'm such a happy chappy now. Again though thank you so much for all your help. Matt
best now is to heat up your oven to exactly 98.5F and get your Sake prepared to perfection. Enjoy your nice PC
