i start the comp, it goes to the windows xp boot screen with the little blue thingy going across, and then, the screen is black! wtf? i have to restart a few times to get the comp to boot to windows. wtf? the xp boot screen shows up, but it's black after that
you sure have alot of problems
do i? i've only had a few. most of my threads are questions, not always problems. but this is a problem. happened twice today
see if it will boot without ur oc. it could be the warmer weather causing ur temps to be higher or something...just try that and see.
i dont believe it! i am havign this problem too! PLUS my pc is slow as fk <_<Quote:

weird thing is. here it is:
i set the standby button on my keyboard to go to the box thing that comes up when u click shut down in start menu. u know, the 1 with 3 buttons (Stand by, Turn off, Restart). while the screen is black and shit, i press the stand by button on my keyboard, and then i press u (shutdown shortcut), and moments later the pc shuts down. i tried that with stand by button then r (restart), and the comp restarted. could this be a prob with my monitor? it is 5 years old
could be a driver problem. or just an oc problem. take off all oc's on ur computer, see if that helps. if not then fine, atleast u can say you tried that. also try reinstalling\updating ur video drivers.Quote:

oh ya and it could be a problem with ur monitor, or even with ur video card :unsure: have u tried turning off then back on the monitor at a time when it goes black?
i think you have a start up program throwing a bitch fit on boot. does it start up normally in safe mode?

tried turning off and on the monitor. don't think it's a driver issue, cuz it works fine now.
