What should i DO?

I have Core2Duo processor & GeForce 8400 graphic card, and dunno what type of mother board

Thanks in advance

Try explaining the problem a bit more. What's a black and white screen? Does the computer get to the desktop eventually or not?

It might help if you give your computer model too.

No, its the screen from the bios i guess, some white text, numbers and stuff on black background... Before windows starts. And now its gone

There's a toggle inside the BIOS that turns the display on or off and for some reason it's switched. If you tell us the computer model we'll tell you which keys to press to switch it back, and to check that the other BIOS values are sensible. It's not meant to have switched itself, usually that involves someone pressing a key during the boot process and then a few more.

Different motherboards have different ways of getting into their BIOS when you power the computer on. Most enter the BIOS if you press DEL when it beeps, some use F2, some are different. If you try DEL and that gets into your BIOS then the name of the motherboard will probably be on the first screen and we can look up what to check.
