indeed something with the video settings/driver is fuxored.

Happened to me few times when I had HD 3870 X2 (black screen after 10 seconds when CCC loaded)

Do you have on board video or another video card you could swap out to test with? (If it's a laptop, yer screwdz0red)

I have a feeling the resolution got out of whack and the monitor can't display it.

Also, if it is a laptop, try hitting Control F5 (or whatever your's is) to swap between onboard or external video.


It won't boot into safe mode?
now that you mention it, I remember her saying that the "screen fucked up, and became BIG." So it has something to do with the resolution then...

Getting closer to the problem

I'll try safe mode again. I reckon I can change the resolution from there.

I was able to go in safe mode, finally. I've uninstalled the drivers for the video card and rebooted.

Went into windows, and reinstalled the latest drivers. Now whenever I try to put a resolution higher than 800x600 it defaults in 640x480(?)

Does it at least boot up into Windows normally now? (at 800x600 resolution, not in safe mode)
Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it
