Re: Problem at boot, with no error



Is Windows XP SP2 installed?

What version of Microsoft Net.Framework is installed?

Radeon 9800 Pro. What Catalyst Version is installed? Information accessible on ATI Options Tab.

Your problem could be related to drivers.

Select, All Programmes, Accessories, System Tools, System Information,
Software Environment, System Drivers. Please provide the names of any
drivers where the Status is anything other than OK. The Status column
may be off screen off to the right so you may have to Scroll to see it.
You can reduce the widths of columns by dragging.

It's a computer I built myself

I don't need a boot disk since the computer boots (fully in safe mode)

There is no restart of the system since there is no error message / bsod : just a black screen instead of the login screen.

Apparently disabling my graphic card make the computer boot normally, but other weird things happen (the usb modem doesn't work until after a reboot for instance).

I'm looking into it at the moment.

What computer manufacturer and model?

Do you have a boot disk?

How To Create a Boot Disk for an NTFS or FAT Partition in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q305595


Next I suggest you Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should
help by allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click
on the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
StartUp and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.


Enable automatic restart on system failure after you have captured /
copied and pasted the message in a further post here.

Hello there,
I'm getting desperate:
My windows won't start almost 8 times out of 10...and the worst part is that I don't have a clue what's wrong because there's no error in the event viewer and when it starts for good, nothing's wrong with it...


The computer freezes with a black screen after the windows logo but before the login screen.
I can always boot in safe mode.


Any idea how I can track the problem?

Any help appreciated, thanks
