Startup or restart your computer, holding down the mouse button while it boots. This will do a forced-eject.

Say "no" to the debug question.  Then shut down your computer and reboot.  If in continues, I would need to know what software you are running when it occurs.

All the other answers are okay but I will tell you the power button is stuck inside the housing (not the one on the power supply the one button in front of your computer) try pulling it out or cleaning it with compressed air it happened to a few of my clients it is an easy fix GOD WILLING give it a shot the symptoms you describe are like as if you are holding down the the power button for seven seconds so it can power off but when you let go it does nothing but flicker because it goes off and on quickly!

When you say 'blinking to black', do you mean that it goes black for a few seconds, then blinks back to normal? If so, that is normal for a monitor - It is when the monitor is automatically refreshing itself and re-adjusting its resolution.\n\nAlternatively, you may just need new drivers for your graphics card =)

Seems like you were using Automatic login feature.\n\nJust restart your computer by pressing the Reset button once. \n\nYour PC should bootup and login automatically. If this is not working, post again. We can try more ways.

Do a system restore and then if that doesn't work run your anti-virus and anti-spyware in Safe Mode. (F8 tapping continuously while booting).

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. \nDetailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yk5zpr

Did you try rebooting the computer, to make sure there isn't another program using the application.  Though, I don't think others use it.....I think there is an option under programs that says start up items, maybe try the control panel.\nYou can also download msconfig.  Maybe something is missing or wrong with it, and installing it again could be helpful.\nCheck out the download on the website listed below.

I'm guessing he downloaded a program that overloaded your start menu. Normally, turning yellow means its loading, but if it is taking a long time, something probably happened. Try using System Restore.\n\nSystem Restore (modified because of Start Menu problem):\n\n1) Click Start, then Run\n2) Type in restore, click OK\n3) When the folder pops up, click on rstrui.exe\n4) Click next\n5) Select the time closest to when your computer got messed \n   up, but ensure it is a time BEFORE your computer got \n   messed up.\n6) Click next, and follow any further instructions!

The ISP tech just trying to help you. As you said that your computer is not starting (just a black screen) then try to load it in safe mode. \n\nRestart your computer and keep on tapping the "F8" key on the keyboard. You will get a black screen with some options like Normal mode, safe mode , Last Known Good Configuration(LKGC)...  choose  LKGC with the arrow key n press enter. Your computer should restart normally. \nHowever, if this doesnt work then shut down your computer. Wait for a minute, then restart it and keep tapping F8... you will again get the  same screen with the above said options... choose safe mode this time. \nIf its Windows 2000/XP then click Start->Programs/All programs-> Accesserios-> system tools-system restore.\nYou will get a window, choose "restore my computer to an earlier date/time" -> click next-> choose the date on which your computer was working fine(it should be bold) then -> next-> next... follow instr.  Your computer will automatically restart and if you get the list... choose normal mode... and load the computer. \n\nThis should help you.\nGud luck!

I'm not saying your problem is what mine was, but last Friday my Dell laptop started doing the same thing.  It would go to the black Windows XP screen and then it would just go black.  And stay black.  I found out the next day, after having the Geek Squad people at Best Buy look at it that it was my motherboard.  I had let the battery die and when I plugged it in, sparks flew up from the surge protector and they said that's probably what did it.  Had to buy a new computer.\n\nIf you have any friends who are good with computers, ask them.  \n\nBut if it is something that can't be fixed, those people were able to transfer all my files (not programs just files) from my old computer to my new one.\n\nGood luck - I know exactly how horrifying that is!!!!

Is there *absolutely* no power? No orange light even? Maybe the power outlet you're connecting it to is faulty.\n\nIf you're getting the orange light, it might be a video card problem.\n\n==============================================\nI hope you see this, because I couldn't email you because your ID isn't confirmed.\n---------------------------------------\nRe: No Power TO HD Monitor\n\nAh, i didn't read your question properly.\n\nCheck the power pins on you old monitor. The place where you plug in the power cable on your monitor.They might be covered in black sooty material if something blew up. \n\nOr maybe the fuse inside the monitor is blown. If you can open it up and check that out, and that IS the problem, you can get it fixed for a few $s. For less if you have the equipment and know how to solder.
