    Grey Screen of Death, power on but no display


    After allowing my PC to boot up for about 5 minutes I encountered the grey screen of death. My computer froze and I was forced to reset. Since then I've been able to boot my PC but with no display on my monitor.

    I'm yet to find anyone with the exact same problem and I'm willing to try and fix it myself before being forced into going to a computer repair store or buying an entirely new PC.

    At what point is the grey screen appearing? before log in, after log in or after 5 minutes of no activity?
    Can you reach safe mode? If so try updating or uninstalling & reinstalling the display driver/s.

    @Bastet the screen appeared 5 minutes after I had originally turned my PC on, now when I turn it on my monitor just shows no signal.

    Check the monitor cable and make sure it is plugged in properly at both ends. Also check the monitor on another computer to rule out a bad monitor.
