Computer boots up to a blank screen in Windows Me?

Just lately my computer after being shut down over night the computer boots up to a blank screen no icons no taskbar. Drivers stop loading and the computer hangs. Have to shut down and restart to get it to come up again. After it comes up I restart the computer to see if it will happen again but it doesn't. Only when you shut down and then try to boot up again it goes blank. No beeps for warning me of nothing with the hard drive just stops when booting from a cold start. No viruses no adware to speak of..Anyone with any help on this???

I had a similar problem. It turned out to be a BIOS battery was bad.
Reply:I suggest that you try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus or any problems. It may be a few weeks or months back. You have to decide the date. Detailed instructions are posted at http://fixit.in/systemrestore.html


The problem is likely to be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at

Reply:Check with your software provider (ie: Windows XP, 2000, etc.) first, if there is no solution check with your internet provider. If there is still no answer, check with your computer manufacturer.
