Hi guys!!

When i start my laptop (toshiba -satellite P20) the display doesnt cum up, it reaches to a point where it shows me win XP logo and the bar but after that it goes blank.
i can get into safe mode and the display is ok except it shows me green horizontal lines on the screen and the instruction screen is flickering.
i tried to remove the display drivers (nvidia geforce fx5700) and restart the machine, i manage to get into normal mode but only for some few seconds after that the screen went blank.
i also downloaded drivers from internet and installed in safe mode but didnt work.
i ran tool & utilities cd which came with the laptop that also didnt work.
i also tried to repair winXP from a bootable CD ,i get stuck the point where it asks me to put administrator password but doesnt accept so i cant even boot from the CD.
i even tried to restore the last good setting but NO LUCK.

Any Help is highly appreciated :sad:

THANKS

Try enabling vga mode ... after completely uninstalling your graphics card driver ... if it works ... then its a problem with your vga card driver ... try another compatible one.
