[QUOTE="hompsar, post: 899170, member: 26948"] UPDATE: turned out to be a video card problem i'm pretty sure. Read through those links and found a post that described a solution to the problem of the computer not starting up due to it hanging before loading the GUI and I was able to log in and get onto my desktop.
