Another Problem

[Conor]

Screen went blank for no apparent reason. Blinking underscore in top left corner. Black screen. Didn't respond to anything so I flicked the power switch. Any idea on what caused this and how I can prevent this in the future?

Try using safe mode.
check your hard disk using other pc's
