To an extent 'yes'..the only things that are easier to recover are your media files,the more u write to ur hard drive,the slimmer the chance of recovery!

It means your system display card settings are too high for your monitor.Right mouse button click on an empty space on your desktop and go to properties. Then settings->advanced and you should be able to adjust the vertical frequency down to 60hz or 72hz or simply change ur screen resolution to something lower like 800x600 or 1024x800 depending on the graphics driver ur using

Can you see the desktop, if you can follow sameolg616 advice

make sure the monitor cable is plugged in properly
i.e. make sure is not loose at the back of the pc.


If you were not able to set it try If you are using Windows, hold down
the F8 key while the computer is starting up and choose Safe Mode with
low resolution mode should reset it restart the pc normally and see

having read your post and spending precious time to researched, I concluded this
a known issue on Sony vaio Laptop. By any chance, is your computer a Vaio?
It appears that users who own Vaio face the problem when running Vaio content analyzer software.

click start and look for run type in mrt press enter and select
quick scan to run microsoft own scanner. if you have already ran
malwarebyte, superantispyware or your own scanner then disregard this

To fix this issue, uncheck the following settings in Vaio Content Analyzer.
Video analysis
Picture analysis
Music analysis
That should do the trick.

@ martyns303



Here is my final take on this, if the guy fix the problem it
should be gone. the problem would repeat itselt only if it

was partially fix. what you can als do is run system
restore to when it weas last working click start run and type

in rstrui press enter to continue pick a date when it
was last working and follow on screen instructions

if no joy google malwarebytes and download it user it to scan
for viruses and follow on screen instrctions to complete

Please follow this set of instructions.

disconnect power cable from the back of the pc
monitor cable, usb cable, printer cable, usb sticks
everything that it is attached to the back and front of the
pc so that we have the pc on is own with nothing connected at all

just ordinary pc only we know you've disconnected everything, this process is called
power atx reset
hold and press down the pc power button
for 30secs and let it go connect just power cable and monitor and tried
power on and start windows normally
