Are you still OC'd?

It sounds like either your mem OC or the mem settings might be too much for the higher mem requirements of XP.

If you are OC'd, try dropping your OC through bios, or if you can't get into that, try a Cmos reset.

(This would be a lot easier if you'd put up a sig of your system so that we don't have to ask every time.... :) ).

Probably time for a cmos reset then. It could be that one of your mem settings is out of whack.

Can you get your hands on a PCI vid card?

I keep one around for cases like this when I suspect problems with vid cards.

One other question.... when it goes black screen, does it look like the system is still booting into windows, but can't display?

Could be that one of the advanced settings is too high/low. Hopefully a cmos reset would return it to a safe setting.

Heh......

Don't forget to glue the power line to the back of the case or you won't get any distance...... :)

It can be frustrating sometimes, but very few of these non-boot problems are fatal.

Usually if you can get into bios, there's still life in the computer.
