Do you have a recovery disc that you can insert and reboot with?

I have the same issue, although I seem to a bit more savvy. (No offense)

I have found that the issue may be the memory (ram), having taken out both ram slots and testing each in both the slots it looks like I have a broken ram slot. Whenever this slot is used, either on its own or conjunction with the other ram slot I only get a black screen. Having used the one ram in the other slot and the pc boots fine.

Hope this helps

Does anyone know whether there is a issue regarding Compaq Vista laptops and (hardware/software) that causes this issue, and a solution to fix it? All I can think of is to get a 2GB ram to counter only having one slot
