Windows XP hangs on restart.

by john.a.sahl . Updated 15 years, 4 months ago

I’m encountering an issue I haven’t seen before. If I put the processor into hibernate, restart or shutdown, when it begins to start up again, I get a blank screen – no POST or anything & the fans all roar to life, but that’s it.

However, if I shut down & then disconnect power for 5-10 seconds, & then start it up, everything is fine.

Anyone here have some ideas of where to look?

This particular porcessor is a Pentium D Presler 3.0 GHz, 1 GB RAM, MB is ASUS T2-PH2 barebones.

The system is ~ 1.5 years old & this is recent behavior – about a week.
