Hi, everyone.. I just joined the community cause I'm having a serious problem with my Lenovo desktop, and I BADLY need help recovering some data. Just recently, when I booted up the computer, the monitor displayed the Lenovo logo, then displayed that it was troubleshooting, then the screen went blank. I've rebooted a few times now, and there is less and less time before it goes black, each time I reboot. Now, when I reboot, it just displays the Lenovo logo, then immediately goes black. But I know it's still on, because when I put it in sleep mode, then exit sleep mode, there's a password screen that displays for about 2 seconds, before once again going black (fully black btw -- no cursor, no NOTHING)... I don't know a whole lot about computer machinery itself, but I am a bit curious as to whether it has something to do with the fact that, when I boot up the computer, I hear the machine's fan going, but it shuts off right before the screen goes black. I generally fix these problems by Googling and researching, because I hate asking others for help, but I really do need some advice here... Can someone please offer up an idea? Thank you so much!
 
Solution
Remove the drive from the computer, get a USB external enclosure or dock for a desktop drive. Use another computer to copy your data from it. If you need help with the computer going black issue you need to list full system specs of the computer.
