display goes black after ME logo on startup

when I start pc when the me logo appears the screen goes
black. I can still navigate as ctl/alt/del reboots. any
help, please?

Try booting into Safe Mode (Ctrl of F8 keys on bootup) and see if your
screen shows.

If so, run System Restore and roll-back to last time your PC worked OK

Ok, I have a question for you: How long does the screen
stay black??? Because my computer does the same thing for
about 5 min then it goes to the desktop.

If it takes that long to boot, then you either have a VERY slow system, or
you have too much loading at boot.
look here for instructions on how to clean up your startup axis, preventing
unnecessary programs loading

You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.
