Not necessarily, Tiddy.  Quite often, if systems don't see the
monitor, or there is a display fault of some kind, they either halt
with an error, or they "blue screen", before the boot up completes.
Or I've even seen them go into Safe Mode.  In any of these
circumstances JAWS would not have been able to load, and even the
normal sound drivers may not have loaded.  One really need to know
first if the monitor is powering up and displaying the pre-windows
material which you neither see not hear.

George, if it's the monitor, he'd at least be getting the sound...

When my hard drive failed recently all I got was the fan starting, no
sound, not even the little beep as things start up.  Heaven forbid
that that's the problem, but in my case, turning the tower upside down
and a bit of bashing produced a bit of life, but not for long.

Mark, is the screen actually totally dead?  That is to say when you
start your PC up there is not even a flicker of activity on the
screen? If it is dead, could it be as simple as a blown fuse in the
mains plug, or even a loose mains cable? 

 

Are you able to get someone to determine if there is any kind of power
light coming on?  If power is there, then is the data cable between
the monitor an PC firmly connected at both ends?

 

And more drastic, I have seen cases where the video card itself has
become dislodged inside the PC for one reason or another.

George, afraid sighted assistance will be of little help with no
screen output, the thing is just blank...  If I can workout what
device driver is corrupted any thought as to how to repair it or where
I might find a replacement to install?

 

And Thanks Kevin for the "Ccleaner", info , will have a look at that.

 

Mark.
