Blank screen installing MD (Dell Inspiron 5150, nVidia graphics)

« on: August 29, 2009, 10:21:30 pm »

Hello all. Was hoping somebody might know the answer to a problem I'm having.

I was trying to set up a MD on my Dell Inspiron 5150, but it would appear that when I get to the AV wizard, the screen goes blank. I'm not hearing any beeps, what's that about? Anyway, my understanding is that the wizard defaults to VGA, so I should be OK there (I'm not using an secondary display or anything like that). Nevertheless, I have tried pressing numbers 1 - 5 on 5 different reboots - the most interesting one was pressing 1 (DVI?), which turned the screen pink. The other numbers all did slightly different things, making the screen flicker, etc, but resulted in the screen staying blank.

Any ideas? Cheers.
