Problems with booting

Hi,

I've just installed Centos 5.3 x86_64 into a CPU. I've done a yum update to update the version to Centos 5.4. I then installed mysql, php, apache and phpmyadmin into the system.

After the installation of phpmyadmin the screen suddenly goes blank, but the monitor is still on, and the cpu is also still on.

I offed the CPU and oned it back again. This time, the screen shows the booting of Centos then goes off.

Why is it like that and how do I resolve it? Is it a video card problem?

Thanks.

NAME

       repodiff - list differences between two or more Yum repositories

SYNOPSIS

       repodiff --old=old_repo_baseurl --new=new_repo_baseurl

DESCRIPTION

       repodiff  is  a	program  which will list differences between two sets of repositories.	Note that by default only source packages are com-
       pared.

GENERAL OPTIONS

       --old, -o
	      Add a repo. as an old repo. Note that if you prefix the url with "mirror:" then the following url is treated as a mirror and  not  a
	      baseurl.

       --new, -n
	      Add  a  repo. as an new repo. Note that if you prefix the url with "mirror:" then the following url is treated as a mirror and not a
	      baseurl.

       --archlist, -a
	      Add architectures to change the default from just comparing source packages.  Note that if you want the same as  a  native  "x86_64"
	      architecture  machine  you  just	need  to  pass	"x86_64"  (this  is  different	from  earlier versions where you needed to specify
	      "x86_64,athlon,i686,i586,i486,i386,noarch" and you still got "src").

       --size, -s
	      Output additional data about the size of the changes.

       --compare-arch
	      Normally packages are just compared based on their name, this flag  makes  the  comparison  also	use  the  arch.  So  foo.i386  and
	      foo.x86_64 are different.

       --simple
	      Output a simple one line message for modified packages.

       --downgrade
	      Split the data for modified packages between upgraded and downgraded packages.

EXAMPLES

       Compare source pkgs in two local repos:
	      repodiff --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=/tmp/repo-new

       Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs in two remote repos, and two local one:
	      repodiff -a x86_64 --old=http://example.com/repo1-old --old=/tmp/repo-old --new=http://example.com/repo1-new --new=/tmp/repo-new

       Compare x86_64 compat. binary pkgs, but also compare arch:
	      repodiff	 -a   x86_64   --compare-arch  --old=http://example.com/repo1-old  --old=/tmp/repo-old	--new=http://example.com/repo1-new
	      --new=/tmp/repo-new

       Compare two releases of Fedora (15 => 16):
	      repodiff	  --old='mirror:https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-source-15&arch=i386'	--new='mirror:https://mir-
	      rors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-source-16&arch=i386' --size --simple --downgrade
