@timroanumati--No, its not a pirate version. @quicksiler---If the fan is not working properly then should not the CPU shut down too? But in my case, only the monitor goes blank.

Blank Screen After Installing Windows 7: Fix 6 April 2009 @ 12pm After installing Windows 7, you may experience an issue in which the screen(s) becomes completely blank directly after startup. This problem primarily affects multiple-monitor setups. Fix In order to fix this issue, you first need to regain access to onscreen display. You can do this by either booting in safe mode (tap the F8 key on your keyboard repeatedly as the computer is starting up) or by temporarily disconnecting all but one of your monitors. After you have started up and have access to your display, you will need to create a .bat file that kills the dwm process at startup. Follow these steps. Launch the Notepad application and create a new text document Type the following text into the document: taskkill /F /IM dwm.exe Save the file as displayfix.bat Copy this file to C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup Restart After you restart, Windows Aero may be disabled. To turn Aero back on, right-click on the desktop and select “Troubleshoot problems with transparency and other Aero effects” then enable Aero. source: http://windowsfixup.com/2009/0...

Hope you have upgraded RAM along with OS.

@Test_Taker--My computer does not go blank directly after startup. It goes blank after using the computer for sometime like 10 minutes or randomly. @Bhojpure01--No, I have not upgraded the RAM.

Guys; Thanks for all your suggestions. Its actually not my computer, its a friend of mine. Today i am bringing that CPU to fix it. He had told me that its like 5 yrs old computer. Now i am starting to feel that the problem is with the following thing which is the system requirement for windows 7: DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver So, how do i check for these things?

If I were you, would not upgrade OS to 7 unless computer is ready. Put back XP and figure out what is wrong. May be the Video card you have could not handle 7? Overheated ? May be the ram you have ( less than 1 GB) could not handle it? As per jhatingare- Do not listen DV winner.
