    My screen stays grey/black. Although i can see the startup and bios.
    I can also hear the computer loading things.
    It happened after i quit a game last night, and i haven't seen it right since.
    I installed a 512mb stick of RAM on Friday, along with a 256MB stick that's already in. It worked fine on Friday, Saturday and Sunday up till then.
    I'm not sure what i can do in the BIOS, or what i can do at all.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Have you tried booting into safe mode?

    I wasn't able to get in it but i have just booted into safe mode. I was pressing F8 too early so it was giving me the cd,floppy,hdd boot options.

    Anyway, i just booted into safe mode. I could see my screen, and i've done system restore to last night and it's working fine :)

    Could have been the driver messing up. Good it's working again though. :)

    Yeah, an unsigned driver was installed yesterday. But i'm glad it's working now.
