Another god damn issue from me, how much is my PC actually getting raped at this time?
Anyways, I've been having virus problems but I've been able to stabilize it, the virus I had is doing no big harm either so I ain't in a hurry.
So the PC just froze today, I could alt-tab to change activities, showing that it didn't freeze entirely, but it went on for a looong while and I had to force a restart on it.
Now, it won't boot up properly.
When I push the button, it shows me the usual stuff, but before it gets to the loading bar and XP logo, it goes to a blank screen and nothing else happens. Booting into Safe Mode gets me the same results, and "going to the latest, working configuration", also a blank screen.
So I'm kind of sandwiched here, I don't really know where my discs for the PC are at the moment, in a few days a buddy of mine will be back and he MIGHT be able to help me, but it's unlikely.
In connection to this issue, COULD this somehow be the works of the virus? I've had anti-viruses on, protecting me, although the firewall is disabled.
The virus (or well, I can't be 100% on that the virus is causing it) caused some strange things to happen on my PC after a system failure or something.
I should also add that this PC is, infact quite old, about 3-4 years I think.
You try safe mode?
He said he tried Safe Mode.
Your computer should still be fine. The problem seems to reside within your windows installation. The black screen is a problem of windows suddenly freezing. You might want to look at reinstalling the operating system, or use an emergency restore disk

If you have an ARS disk that should do the trick too.
Reinstall Windows. If your computer is capable of running it, look at getting a 64bit variation of Windows 7.
Did you disable/unistall the driver of your monitor?
So, if I reinstall Windows and so forth, will all files I have stored be gone?
Yes, they would be gone.
This has been solved, I was able to access the motherboard settings and load some "fail safe" settings.
