    Nadean,

    Welcome to the board! I would first check your Display settings. The resolution may have changed.

    Yes, do that - the M$ logo appears in DOS - before Windows loads, but I don't think screen resolution is the problem.

    From what you are saying the poweroutage occurred while the computer was running?

    It sounds like a video card/driver problem - I would re-install your video card drivers.

    Nadean,

    Yes, still check your settings. As PeteC mentions, it could be your video drivers but I would start with the settings. That would be an easy fix.
