Did you pressed CTL+ALT+F1 to see console? Did you press CTL+ALT+F7 or CTL+ALT+F8 to get back to GUI? Can you tell us your graphics card make?

Default Screen becomes blank

Hi,

Graphic Card - Intel(R) 82845G Graphics Controller.

In System my refresh rate is set on 85 Hz . I tried to change the rate but it didn't get change, could it be the reason of issue? Because when i checked on my friend's system it was 60 Hz..... How can we change the refresh rate because in linux i was not able to do that through GUI ... don't know about command line...

Thanks
