    Hi, my dad has been having this HTPC computer for quite sometimes. Hi, my father has had this HTPC computer for quite sometime. He hasn’t installed anything relatively new. A few days ago it started acting strange; I had to restart the computer at least twice for the curser to activate and to see the blue login screen. Now it doesn’t matter how many times I restart it, after the windows loading sign its over it goes into a blank stage where I cannot see the curser or the login screen

    I have tried:
    safe mode, check for virus
    system restore
    go into recovery console and do a CHKDSK -r

    is it connected to a monitor or a TV? or both?

    when you boot it normally and it "goes into a blank stage where I cannot see the curser or the login screen" does the monitor go into standby after a few minutes?

    is there any disk activity after it "goes into a blank"?

    when it has gone blank, does the numlock/capslock light go on and off if you hit the numlock/caps lock key?

    are you saying it boots into safe mode windows okay?
