Lately I have been having a problem with booting that after the XP
logo the
screen goes blank and nothing happens necessitating a hard reset.
Then I get the startup menu. Selecting "last good configuration"
sometimes helps but
usually not. If I enter safe mode, log on to my account and then
perform
restart I then get into the entry screen normally. However this whole
process takes too much time and clearly something is wrong. I
performed routine maintenance o cleaning up temp files and cleaning
the registry (CCleaner), but hat didn't improve matters.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
You've got a ton of stuff running resident. Perhaps something is causing
a conflict. Ask yourself:
The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time
things worked and the time they didn't?
If that doesn't help pinpoint the culprit, do clean-boot
troubleshooting:
