    I have a dell inspirson 6400/E1505

    Yestarday, I turned my comptuer off using the power button. This morning I tried to use it but after the Windows XP start-up screen the screen goes blank. The LCD light is still on, but the screen just doesn't load to my log-in.
    I have no idea why this is since last night I had no activity on my computer, all I did was browse a few websites that I normally go on.

    I've tried to load up all the safe modes (network etc.) but when all of the windows files load, it just freezes and nothing happens.
    I've run a diagnostics test with f12 at the dell startup screen, but it found no problems.
    I'm running out of options, and i DONT want to reformat. There's too much on my computer that I cant afford to lose.
