Had to do a restore to factory condition on my HP Pavillion a810n desktop due to viruses. The system had loaded Windows files and was to the point of setting Windows up (I could hear the music start to play) when things froze and the the monitor screen went dark. I could still hear the music playing as if Windows was waiting for me to begin setting it up, but I could not see it because the screen was dark.
![]() I checked that the cables & video card were well-seated, then I connected the problem pc up to another monitor and the screen was dark there also. It appears the video card has malfunctioned. I took video card out of pc, cleaned it with air, & noticed one side was so dirty not even air was removing the dust. Looks like the dust is so caked on it would need a thorough scrubbing, which can't be done. I reinstalled the video card in the PCI slot and booted pc again - the screen stayed dark. My question is this: Will the computer be able to recognize the video card and install its drivers since I am in the middle of OS Recovery?? I need to be able to see the screen in order to finish the system recovery. Tigsounds, Thanks for your reply. I've called several drugstores and the strongest alcohol they have is 90%.

I'm trying to figure out how the drivers will be found while the computer is in the middle of an OS recovery. Thanks again. Many years ago I lived in California for a few years and there was a grocery store named Safeway that had 99% alcohol. 90% will work good too. You're after the non-destructive solvent nature of alcohol. Petro-chemical solvents dissolve/melt too many things. The cheaper 70% just has a lot of water in it's mix and doesn't dry all that quickly but it too can be used. The driver Windows installs is whatever setup finds and these days it probably won't find a driver at all since XP is so old now and so many new cards have come along. Install a new driver after XP is loaded/restored. While the card is out, you may want to air-blast dust out of the socket of the MB to. If setup has progressed to the point of restarting Windows and is making music on startup, try to start in safemode if possible. Open boot.ini and add these items to it. /basevideo /sos Start>Run>settings>Control Panel>System>Advanced>Startup & recovery>Settings>Edit Your boot.ini will look something like this: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) WINDOWS='Microsoft Windows XP Professional' /noexecute=alwaysoff /fastdetect /usepmtimer /basevideo /sos You can remove the /basevideo /sos items after it is running and stable. The /basevideo will force Windows to start in 640x480 video mode, no driver. The /sos switch displays the device driver names while they are being loaded. I had the wrong keyboard and screen plugged in (from trouble shooting before). Disregard my last message. Now that I have the computer plugged into the correct keyboard and monitor, I booted up (with old video card installed). A message came up and said 'setup is not fully installed. Windows Xp Sp3 Mini 40mb Isopropyl PalmitatePlease run setup again.' So, I rebooted pc and pressed F10 - Recovery key (since I was in process of recovery not setup). The recovery is proceeding and I can see it on the screen. At this point it appears that cleaning the old, dirty video card with 99% isopropyl alcohol did the trick. I'll keep you posted. It's going too far for the video card to be toast. Try to start in safe mode and edit the boot.ini file, or, delete your video card drivers. ![]() Windows Xp Sp3 Mini 40mb Isopropyl AcetateRight-click an open areas of desktop, select Properties. Go to: Settings tab>Advanced>Adapter tab>Properties>Driver> Uninstall then re-boot. If you truly believe the Video card is faulty, do the above and shut down and replace the card then. If you can't get that far then shut down and replace the card with the new one, at least XP won't have drivers to load at startup for that one.
