Well this is really weird. I rebooted my computer. It shows the winme splash screen fine, then when its entering windows (where you have to log on), the screen just goes black and i cant see anything. I have no idea what could have happened. I have tried rebooting in safemode and the display works well that way. I checked to see if i may have had some virus in the startup files through msconfig and the registry, but i found nothing not normal. I did a virus scan with Panda antivirus titanium, with the latest definitions, and I have no virus... I have an integrated videocard, intel chipset 810E.... anyone ever heard of such a problem? btw i alrdy tried reinstalling the display driver and that changed nothing...

adam, Hmmm, I'll take a guess. Not an educated one, but a guess ;-) You say it's not the video driver causing it, and it works fine in safe mode. May I ask, have you tried to adjust the refresh rate lower. Like I said, a guess ;-)

I could be the refresh rate. Or the resolution could be set to high for the display (a display problem). But it is an even bet that the graphics accelerator part of the display adapter has failed. Safe Mode uses the VGA 16 color hardware compatible part of the video adapter. This only supports up to 256 color and 640x480 resolution. Anything higher is usually done through the graphics accelerator. Try the following: In Safe Mode, try setting the resolution to 640x480 and color to 16. Then under the Advance button, Performance tab, set the graphics acceleration to None. Then try rebooting into normal mode. If it comes up in normal mode, then try changing to 256 colors and see if that works after rebooting. Then try enabling the graphics acceleration and see what happens. If you install the video device drivers from a package, they normally test the graphics accelerator to make sure it is working. However, the drivers for built in adapters may not do this test during the install. You may just have to get you a low cost (used?) AGP or PCI video adapter and drivers for the system. Then disable the video adapter in BIOS CMOS Setup (set the memory used by the built in adapter to 0 MB). These adapters are usually faster than the built-in adapters, have more options and do not steal main memory cycles (which slow the processor down). Memory modules on systems with built in video adapters running higher resolutions often run noticeably warmer than when you have an AGP adapter with its own video memory. (Hum.. that brings up another possibility. Part of the memory used by the Graphics Accelerator could be bad. Try swapping memory modules.)

Hi there. I was seaching on google and saw this discussion. I think your problem lies with your panda antivirus. Your problem is very much like mine. I have 3 computers. 2 desktop and 1 laptop. All hp/compaq with integrated intel graphics cards. And all the mashines work fine, until i install panda, then i get a bluescreen hvis i reboot, and an error (windows has recovered from a serious error) i think thats what i sais. I use a Danish version of windows, so i am not sure. I have Panda Antivirus working on the program. And hopefully i will get a solution to the problem soon. Maybe my problem can help your problem. Try uninstalling Panda. For any replies, please use my email. I wont de visiting this site for a while. Regards Brian Olsen
