I start up my laptop as normal then before it gets to the log-in screen my screen turns off and wont go back on. I cant do anything but turn it off again?

Have you tried leaving it for a while with the screen off?
It might jut turn on again.
If you reinstall you will lose all your files, yeah.

You could use a Linux LiveCD to get your files back

K its working now. Have no idea what was wrong. I did a system restore from the Vista disc then the Memory Loss Diagnostics or somthing, then i updated from the disc and it seems to be okay.

Thanks for you help ^^
