    Hello Forum,
    I am new to Major Geeks and fairly new to Vista. Last Sunday the Vista OS in my computer quite booting up. It begins to boot, and then the screen goes blank and the monitor says 'No Signal' Do you know of a program i can run to find out what is keeping Vista from running?

    Thank you, Dean

    Are you sure the machine is not booting? The No Signal message means the monitor is not working. Have you checked the connections? Have you tried a different monitor?

    Try booting in Safe Mode and see what happens.

    Thank you to all who replied. It turned out to be a bad sector on my hard drive - fixed it and the computer is booting up. Again thank you!
