Screen stays blank for windows

[naspat99]

i have a dell 2400 using a viewsonic vg500b....i rebooted the whole system and reinstalled windows xp everything was working except i didnt have the driver for the monitor so the resolution was bad i think like 640x480 or something but i could still use everything...when i shut down the system and turned it back on the screen went black after the windows loading screen. I can hear the welcome music but nothing appears. I also tried starting in safe mode and still nothing?? Any suggestions???

With regards to your problem, try reinstalling Windows again and going straight to the Dell site and downloading your graphics drivers. I can't help you any more than this at this stage because i know nothing more about your system.
