To get it running again I did a reinstall of XPP but now (I have the original numbers I copied from "System Information" and I cant find the proper link on Microsoft - or I just plain don't understand it. I have googled "reinstall Win. 7 pro using coa numbers" and get all kinds of different answers. I guess my point is - what is the best way to go about this?

Yesterday, I went to play an old video while cleaning up the drive and after about a minute, the screen went black but the sound continued. I waited and after a fashion I tried cont/alt/delete but nothing came up. I never got a picture os any kind and did a force shut down. Yhat was kind of THE END!! I restarted the computer and it came back to life briefly and then went black. I managed to try "system restore" and black screen again. Tried my back up disk - black screen.I get as far as starting windows with the icon, then black scrren again. The cpu running light runs briefly and then shuts sown.
