Hey, I have a problem starting up a computer and I was wondering if anyone could help.
Windows starts up normally until after the Windows XP loading screen; afterwards the screen just goes black and stays that way.
Also, when I try to press F8 to enter the startup menu or delete to enter BIOS, it works for a second and then goes black.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Thanks!

If it does this it sounds to me like some sort of hardware issue. Try replacing the Graphics Card (If not an onboard one) with a known working one. Only replace it if you have a spare one laying around because this might not be the problem.

Thanks
