More info?)
Sounds like a refresh rate or screen mode error - try this:
Boot into Safe Mode by either hitting F8 or by holding down the Ctrl key
after memory and drives are checked but before Windows starts up. Enter the
Display Properties screen either from the Control Panel or by right-clicking
an empty part of the desktop and selecting Properties. On the Settings tab,
set the display to 640x480, 256 colors. You'll be warned that these
settings will be applied when you reboot - that's fine, that's what we want.
Restart the system and you should have a display visible, and you can slowly
and carefully change your display back to the resolution and color depth it
was at, one step at a time.
