Weird PC (Windows NT) Problem...

Hi Folks,

 

Had a Compaq Deskpro do something weird today. It boots up, you see if
splash the Compaq screen, you can hit F10 and go into configuration, etc.
and all is fine. Exit that and it does the memory check (blue screen for a
while) then as that finishes and Windows should load, the screen goes BLACK
and the hard drive continues to rattle along for some time. So I am thinking
a VGA driver got creamed or something ? Been a while since I've messed with
this kind of stuff - anyone know a way around this ?

 

Running Windows NT.

 

Thanks !

 

Chuck
