Alrighty, so I need a little bit of help.
I just built my first computer and am having a slight problem with it.
When I restart the computer it will shut down and start up just fine,
but when it gets to the black screen where there is a WinXP logo and
a blue bar that shows it’s loading Windows the computer will just sit
there. No matter how long I wait it will not load into windows. Just
stays stuck on that black screen. It doesn’t always do this, but 75%
of the time it freezes at that point. In order to fix it all I have to do is
power down (have to hard restart because the keyboard does not
work) and it starts up just fine. It isn’t a big deal, but I would rather
my computer be running with no problems since i paid good money
for the parts. Is it possible that there is some sort of corruption in
Windows XP? Or is it a motherboard issue? Or is it something else
that I’m not even thinking about. Thank you in advance for any help
ya’ll can provide.
Here are my specs:
ECS NFORCE4M-A (version 3)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+
2 GB Ram (PC5300/5400)
Geforce 7600GT (pci-e 16x, 256MB)
250GB SATA HD
120 GB IDE HD
500W Antec Basiq PSU
Thanks!
