rsxpunk Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 so the other day my computer started with a black screen, (use vista btw). So i booted in safe mode and found the problem to be with the video card drivers as when i uninstalled them and just used the standard vga driver it worked fine. Now im trying to reinstall the intel drivers and i get the same problem again, what should i do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsxpunk Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 sorry if i was unclear, it boots fine but i cannot get full resolution as its using the vga input, i need to know why when i download the drivers the screen goes black? Could there be a hardware problem or something else i am missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Presumably you have made sure that you have not been attacked by any malware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsxpunk Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 yes did full malware and virus scans, and everything works fine when i have disabled my graphics card drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Try Driver Max. it will scan your computer and offer the drivers to replace any problem ones. The free program will let you update two drivers per day, the paid for version offers unlimited upgrades.Click here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
