My computer has been having a number of errors recently. Earlier it was going to green screen (like blue screen..except green) and I found out I had a problem with a driver.

But then I tried starting up the computer to fix the driver, but the monitor will stay blank and then the computer shuts itself off after 10 seconds or so.

Any help?

Thanks

Was the video driver causing the problem?

Well the problem with shutting itself own seems to have just stopped...and I fixed the problem with the driver.

SO things seem to work fine now, thanks for the help anyway.
