Pressing a key on the laptop should wake it up - if nmot try viewing the power settings for your system: Control Panel > Power Options

A recent hardware or software change. Have you added or removed any software recently.
You may need to reinstall XP - or just switch to Linux (Fedora Core's good)

Install and use recovery console. Then try to change your boot.ini file to set your computer to start up with no logo and list all driver that are load on the screen. Any driver cause any problem to your system will stop and display on the screen. Then you can disale or use roll back function to load it functional driver.
Read this article[^] for more information.

In Safe Mode, Go to Device Manager->System Devices->And remove anything with a bios word. Then Restart to normal mode. With this trick, you will force reinstalation of all drivers. When all drivers are installed, in Device manager sometimes you will see a double driver, one is operational, the other is in conflict. Remove the operational and restart. If you remove the driver with a conflict, it will come back.
ps: I don't remember that i have tested in Windows XP. But other version of windows worked.

Our server took a dump today. A virus or trojan got installed around 12/30/2005 - no, I don't have a firewall, as I didn't have any say in it - and has been merrily emailing who knows how many people. I found mIRC along with a hidden SMTP server/relay installed. When it finally crashed the system some time last night, it took out the TCP/IP stack, as well, so that now there is no way to connect to it at all. Ordinarily I'd just remove TCP/IP, then reboot and reinstall it, but that's not possible. In fact, that's exactly what TechNet recommends, and provides a step by step procedure for doing it. Unfortunately, the instructions are someone's hallucination, as they don't work. You can't 'Uninstall' TCP/IP, as the button is greyed out.
I spent the entire day following article after article in TechNet, none of which removed TCP/IP. I tried doing a repair installation, but the Win2K CD doesn't offer that option - it's Upgrade or Clean only. I'd just restore from a backup, but the tape drive relies on - you guessed it - TCP/IP to connect. Grrrr....
Does anyone know of a sure fire way to accomplish this?

Sorry.
Seems like reinstalling Windows without formatting the HDD would be your best guess.
Given the source of your problem, I would do a complete reinstall. Otherwise, rootkits might still be active and return the control of your server to the attacker. You just would be repairing it for them to abuse again.

It's not currently connected to the network.
Right.
Have you removed the trojan?
If not: get a free anti-virus from free-av.com and then remove the trojan.
If you still cannot regain network access - delete the connection and start from scratch with it (does Wn2k3 have a "Create Network" wizard???).
This should enable access.
ps: If this doesn't work try just unplugging the network lead!!!

The Trojan was easy - it even showed its ugly face in the Add/Remove Programs menu!
There was something else that kept reinstalling it, though, and that took some time to track down. All gone. The mIRC component was harder to get rid of, but I finally nailed it. I believe what happenned to the server to cause the damage was that the Trojan replaced a critical file in the set of services that enable networking, so I located a procedure at TechNet for removing and replacing them all. After spending all day painstakingly following instructions, which were wrong as usual, after the final reboot the same symptoms reappeared - no network connectivity. Arrrrggggg!
At this point I'm really stuck - in the Registry section HKLM\System\Current Control Set\Services there should be a long list of installed services, but this one's blank - nothing there at all.
Dell support was great, btw - the chat desk has different staff from the phone support department. But they're trained for hardware diagnosis and don't really know much about Windows. My next step, I guess, is to reinstall Win2K Server, but I really wish it had a Repair option like other versions have.

I also used to challenge with this problem. But I found the reason that I have a problem with my monitor, not from the virus. The reason is my monitor is very old and it has a problem with the circuite inside the monitor. Try to check the power light on your monitor. When the monitor is turn off, is this light is become red or turn off too. For my case, my monitor light become red light like the time that I just turn the power on.
But one more thing that might interrupt you that might came from the virus too. In my opinion, the virus might act like a serivce that turn off your monitor every period that it reach its time limit. You should check in your system or search on the internet to find the virus name and clean it from your computer.

If this happens when you have not been using the keyboard or mouse for several minutes then then check the power settings on the control power, it may be setting the monitor to standby.

There's really no virus that is known to do this. It's just not damaging enough, I guess. But, where I work, I've replaced about 30 ViewSonic VX900 LCD's in the last 8 months because of problems with the backlight. After about a year, they just started dying, probably because of bad capacitors in the backlight power supply. The backlight would work for anywhere from 1 second to 20 minutes before it died.

Assuming you're using a CRT (they do not die after a year).
Does the monitor actually turn off or just go black. I heard about a virus that painted the screen black when I was working with Win3.1 - I don't know if it still exists. If you have anti-virus installed (as you should - http://www.free-av.com) then try another monitor.
