Monitor screen blank Check monitor is correctly connected Check monitor is plugged in and turned on Check connection to computer is not loose Computer Boots but wont launch windows Can you boot into safe mode? (F8 on start-up) if yes the problem is likely to be something software related rather than hardware. Run malware, virus scans If you can’t boot into safe mode try booting into your computers repair my computer mode to fix start-up issues Try using system restore if you can boot to safe mode or recovery to restore to a previous date Slow internet Reboot your router and restart your computer (reboot router by unplugging and plugging back in after 5 minutes) Check for malware and spyware infections.
