   Before throwing away the machine, try to reinstall Windows or better   
   still boot up with live Linux distro to see if it is the OS corruption   
   or something else.   
      
   I had similar issues about a year ago but as soon as I reinstalled   
   Windows, everything started to work normally.   
      
   You can reinstall and keep everything but as there is no display this   
   will prove difficult but a clean install will do the trick. Repair   
   install I'm not sure because it has never worked for me. Try the Live   
   Linux distro first to see if the display works.
