RE: Windows XP Won't boot to Sign In screen - Black screen after Logo

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi Sir toddo,

I had the exact same problem. Here is how I solved it:

1. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds (computer will turn off)
2. unplug the main power cable from wall socket. 3. Wait for 5 minutes. 4.
Start your computer. 5. When you see initial screen, tap F8 key. 6. When the
Windows Advanced Options menu is displayed, use the arrow keys to select
"Last Known Good Configuration" and then press ENTER. 7. Restart the computer.

Also, perform these steps: 1. Restart the system 2. At initial screen tap F1
key twice or thrice 3. This will take you to BIOS setup utility 4. Press F5
key to load the default values 5. Press F10 to save the changes and exit out
of BIOS

This could very well fix it.
