Question about AMD eMachines Desktop System w/ 17'' CRT Display, 2.0 GHz Athlon 64 3000+ (W3400)
Sounds to me like a messed up video card. Like stated above, try taking it out and putting it back in. It may be loose. Or if that doesn't help try another PCI slot (looks just like the one the card was settled in). It could be a bad PCI slot. Other than this you may have to replace the video card (go to the local Best Buy for this)

In case you have a PCI display card (not built-in the motherboard),take it out from its connector and then place it back (maybe you have a bad conntact). Be aware you should do it while your PC is disconnected from the main PC power (main power cabel)!!!!

My screen went dark as well. If I shine a light on it I can make out the icons and the computer itself is working but apparently a bulb or something is gone or can it be something else?
