It all started with the Pc's startup reaching the windows XP logo (black screen) and the screen goes blank but i can hear the windows logon sound,even play audio cd when windows finish booting but nothing displays.

So i tried using my Windows XP cd to do the windows repair and it came to live,but the pc refuse to display correctly (like the usual windows XP does) but would display the windows classic colour quality (lowest 16 bit), and cant be changed back (grey icon,cant b clicked), tried formating (probably one of windows files missing) but remained the same, took the HDD to another pc and loaded windows and was ok (so its not a software or windows problem)taking it back windows couldnt start due to hardware change and all shit, so i did anoda format and still bad colour!

so whats d conclusion now, VGA problem??

@ poster, relax and quit formating each time there's a problem.  Obviously, what ever problem you had initially, by repairing windows somewhat fixed it.  However, from what you've described above it appears your video card driver needs to be installed.  What you're seeing is the generic windows driver that's loaded on OS when you installed it.  Go to device manager and under display adapters, I bet you'll see a generic name there.  What you need to do is get the driver for your video card and that should take care of it.  If your card is an on-board display, then you'll need the driver from mobo's manufacturer's site otherwise just download the driver from your card's manufacturer site if it's not an on-board card.  Good luck!  Peace!
