Computer issues

• I am having troubles with my computer, it will display the login screen but once I log in the screen goes blank

@Jennb05 -- after it goes "black", how many minutes have you waited before declaring that it has a problem?  It could just be "slow" to finish installing some security-fixes via Windows Update.

Does the case of your computer have a lamp that lights-up whenever there is disk-drive activity? Is that lamp blinking, or solidly-on?  If either case, the computer is still working, even though there is nothing on the screen. 

Have patience, especially if you have an older, slower, computer.
