or maybe because of the malware and image driver i installed???please need help..if its because of the image driver all of my units need to un install the driver

Hi orotzkie :) sorry to hear you are having problems with your computer.
You need to provide more information about your computer, is it a laptop or desktop
custom built or a named brand such as dell, hp etc (provide model name or number).
The more information you can provide will enable others to help you better.
One possible way of solving this problem is by clearing the MB CMOS, but if you open
the case to do this & there is a seal on the case it can invalidate your warranty, so
check this 1st.

Unless this can be resolved through software I would suggest taking it in for warranty repair.
Since the system is non bootable I see no way to do any diagnostics on the system.
How old is the system?

If so uninstall, or restore to a previous time.

Have you tried a different monitor?
Are you sure the monitor is plugged into the system correctly and completely?

thanks for your reply...how do i clear the MB CMOS??

You would need to open the case and look for a battery about the size of a quarter. There is usually a jumper close to it that will say "clear cmos" Remove the jumper from the pins it is on to the other pins for a couple minutes. Then place the jumper back on the original pins.
If no jumper, remove the battery. Usually there is a little clip on the side of the battery that needs to be depressed to allow removal.

What we need you to also do is try another monitor. Borrow one if you have to. The monitor could be bad.
