from my tom's hardware thread that hasn't been replied to yet:

I purchased a custom built PC about a week ago, and it worked fine up until today, when it randomly slowed to a crawl and eventually froze. I restarted the machine and tried to launch startup repair as windows wouldn't boot, but it instead showed a blank screen. It now just shows this blank screen when the computer starts, after the prompt to open the boot menu. Everything is still running: the PC, keyboard, mouse and monitor are still on, but my monitor's screen is completely blank. I can't even access the menu to change the settings.

Specs according to the recipt of the store I bought the PC from:

INTEL BASED GAMING PC

INTEL CORE I5 2.76GHZ
6GB MEMORY
1TB HDD
2GB ATI AMD RADEON R9 270 VAPOR X OVERCLOCKED EDITION

DVD RW, WIRELESS LAN,

WINDOWS 7 64BIT

so if you know what the forget happened please tell me how to fix this because i don't want to be stuck using this crap laptop now

slowing to a crawl and then not booting sounds like something may have overheated and killed itself, have you tried onboard graphics or a different graphics card?

have you tried swaping out ram, trying only one of each stick in different places?
