Dell inspiron 1200 boot issue

[ikollar66]

my dell inspiron 1200 can't boot up with display. Lights are on and ac from the wall is good. Display flashes the Dell boot up screen, but only for a few seconds. CD works and it seems to be on but i cannot see anything.

What does it do after you see the Dell logo screen? Does it restart? Just sit there at a blank screen?
