Answer by  fiddlefaddle (883)

The most likely cause of a blank blue screen is hardware. It could also be a video malfunction. Make sure your video drivers are updated and properly working. If you continue to get blank blue screens it might be a hardware issue and you might need to replace certain hardware. Normally you get an error message to help you.
