Have you set checkdisk or similar to scan. It often does this only at startup, and unhelpfully all you see is the blank screen. If you have a large HD it could take a very long time (read hours) to work through. If your PC has crashed a couple of times, the checkdisc may be trying to run anyway. Might be worth switching on the PC and seeing what it achieves overnight?
