I just got a new LCD screen last week. I hooked it up, it showed the welcome to windowsxp screen, then went black. The problem was the with my old CRT, the refresh rate was set to 85hz, much faster than what the LCD can display. To solve this, borrow a CRT monitor (or if you have TV outputs use a TV as a monitor, that is what I did) and hook it up to your computer. Set the refresh rate to 60hz by going into display properties, click the settings tab, then click the advanced button, then monitor tab. There is a pull down menu where you can set it.
That should fix it. Then make sure you have the driver for your screen installed so the screen never gets set to a refresh rate beyond its specific capabilities. Let us know if this solves the problem!
