I have Windows Vista and my Dell desktop can't get out of the blank screen. For a few weeks it would take a while to come out of hibernation but now it won't at all. No mouse either. All I get are occasional vertical lines that flash every few seconds. I've tried turning the monitor and computer off and on, even to the point of unplugging them. When I turn the computer on I can hear it booting. In fact, I was able to use my password to start Windows Vista even though I couldn't see anything -- could only hear it. My monitor is an Acer AL1912, about 4 years old.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem and solution could be?
Thanks

Jump to Postsounds more like a dead lcd .not stuck in hibernation
Jump to Post…Thanks for the reply. What's an lcd? Is that the monitor?
BTW, last night I unplugged the monitor and turned off the computer. This morning after some screen flashes and stumbling the monitor is now working. But this problem only seems to happen after the computer goes into hybernation/sleep mode.
