Resolved: Computer boots but with no display

Hello, I am facing a problem where I can boot and you can hear Windows log in sound and all those but it does not display anything on my screen. This problem just came up today when I was playing Swordsman Online, the computer speaker suddenly buzzed and the computer restarted and ever since I am getting the no display but boots in problem.

Here's what I tried:
System Restore.
Disable start ups.
Clear CMOS(taking out the battery, not the set jumper thing that one for BIOS right?)
Plugged my laptop to monitor and there is display.
Double check with that cable is not faulty with the laptop test.

What I don't have:
Extra monitor, GPU, HDMI DVI VGA cables.

I am able to boot into safe mode.

Still no use after I tried all those things. Please anyone can help me?

My system:
CPU:i3 2100
Mobo:MSI P67A-C45 B3
GPU:MSI 550-ti Cyclone II
RAM:8GB Kingston Value
PSU:FSP Aurum Gold 500W
HDD:WD Caviar Blue 500GB
Optical:HP dvd1260

1) Remove graphic card
2) Use onboard gpu
3) If able boot properly means graphic card uplorry.

Without spare to troubleshoot, make a trip to GS:

I might try it but have to find time to go down, probably on the weekends.

Be sure to ask before coming down so as not to waste your trip. Computer can be damn heavy. Be sure to remove hdd before you carry it down as any vibration big or small will heavily damage the hdd. Best you bring the casing box with protection inside.

Update: I was able to boot into normal mode with display today morning. After 1~5 mins it restarted and the problem surface again. I suspect it is display driver problem? I did try to install the latest drivers in safe mode but it was still the same.

This phenomenon is typically happen with a dying card.

I've experienced it twice. Sometimes can boot up normally while most of the times can't.

If you wanna save money, go buy an extremely cheap 2nd hand working condition graphic card. You can use it next time if same **** happens again.

Hi TS, I'm facing the same problem as you. The card I'm using is ASUS HD7770 DirectCU and it's about 1 and a half yrs old.

When I have the latest version of the graphics driver installed, my com boots up into a blank screen but I can hear the bootup windows sound. When I go into safe mode and uninstall the drivers, my com boots up fine.

I'm thinking it's a hardware issue here. Someone help me please!!

1) Unplug all sata cable from HDD or SSD
2) Boot up
3.1) If there are display, force shut down, wait for 10 secs then boot up again. Repeat five times. If 4/5 times shows display = high possibility driver's issue.

3.2) If there are no display, force shut down and boot up again Repeat five times. If 4/5 times shows no display = high possibility graphic card go lorry.

if HDD and SSD are unplugged, how can it boot into the OS?

Usually this is done to check if the mobo can post or not.

he's not asking you to boot up into OS, but rather to eliminate any software issue caused by drivers. You'll still see POST screen even without any hdd

 

[nnafiy]

previously still can POST, after unplugging cannot POST liao.

How you uninstall the display drivers in safe mode cos mine said I only can uninstall it in normal mode.

Go to device manager, then delete display adapter.

Uninstalled the display driver in safe mode. After that I am able to boot into normal mode with display. Then when I installed the nvidia display driver and restarted the problem comes back. What is the problem here?

I did the unplugging of HDD only and restarting for 5 times. All 5 times I was able to see the MSI post then after that is the prompt to insert a HDD to boot.

Did you try unplugging the SATA cable after installing the latest nvida display driver? If yes, might not be the graphic card issue. Might be the driver issue. Try download to an older version of driver.
