Screen stays dark -- 24" Intel iMac early 2008
Monitor stays dark all the time, but computer powers on normally, and caps lock key lights up. If I start up normally, it will restart itself every 60 seconds. If I start in safe mode (shift key at startup) it won't restate itself. Fan and hard drive sound normal.
I've tried resetting PRAM three times and taking the power cable out three times. I let it cool down for four hours.
Everything was fine yesterday. I think the last app I used was silverlight. It went to sleep overnight, and the display just never woke up in the morning. How can I force the display to wake up?
The box says it came with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS graphics processor.
