It started two days ago. When I woke up my computer was on but there was
no display. I rebooted the machine and it it came up fine but seemed to
shut abnormaly. Later that day when I tried to remote control into my
machine I was able to get a black screen (so the connection was
established but know video.) When I got home it was the same thing: the
computer was on but no video and keyboard and mouse did not work. It
seemed though, after looking at the logs, that the computer was
functioning because there were logs created during the time it was
"off." Looking through the logs I could see nothing abrnormal. Truly I
don't know what I was looking for? Anyway, in power options I turned off
the feature to shut down monitor after certain time. Turned off screen
saver. The sleep mode was already off.  I was connected to PC via remote
control from work and machine rebooted itself. All it said in log was:
The previous system shutdown at 7:30:29 PM on 4/24/2008 was unexpected.
Not sure if the reboot and the aforementioned issue is related.  Anyway,
I am not sure why this started happening. I did install a game call Rome
Univerisalus or some such name. I uninstalled the game when I started
having problems. It didn't work anyway.  I am using Vista 64. I just
recently built the computer. Didn't experience any problems until
recently.  Does anyone know how I can figure out what is going on? And
even better, how to fix.  I am thinking of using the restore point of
before I installed the game. Do you guys think that is wise?  Thanks for
any help anyone can offer. And if you need more info please just ask.
