Re: black screen of death after windows load

Vincent

A copy of the complete error report is needed.

Please check Event Viewer for Warning / Error Reports in the System and
Application logs for when the error occurs and post copies.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308427&sd=tech

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should
double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste.
Often the link will, however, say there is no further information.
http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp
(Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only)

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.

hello everyone, i have a problem that i cant solve after 2 days of trying.

it started when i was playing Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War: Dark Crusade.
I
exited the game normally and it went back to desktop as per normal until
suddenly i got a black screen, tinking my moniter went nuts, i switched it
on
and off and it gave me the "no video input" thingy.

windows is still running in the background as per normal, everything is
fine
just that i cant see my desktop with the black screen there. i am tinking
its
my video card or drivers giving problems. so i did a hard reboot into safe
mode.

when i got into safe mode i was right, windows gave me an error report
saying video card drivers was causing the problem. so i uninstalled the
current drivers, went online and grabbed the latest updated one and
installed
it. rebooted and everything was fine. until windows finished booting. the
black screen came up. the windows xp logo was there.. the loading thing
was
doing its thing and once it finishes loading, wat should come next is the
login screen but wat comes instead is the black screen of death.

i tried installing the older drivers in safe mode, same problem persist,
tried disabling antivirus at startup. same problem persist. only way i can
start windows normally is uninstall the drivers in safe mode and
everything
went fine.. i can go in, i can start itunes, i can surf the net. juz no
games
as i have no graphic card drivers installed. so i tried installing drivers
in
normal mode.

the installation went on as normal, until the screen begins to flicker.
but
its normal as the drivers are configuring themselves right? then it
flicker
and flicker to a dos screen. wheere one bar is flashing on the top left
corner and some dos white symbols are all over the place.. after a while..
the black screen is back. i did a hard reboot again into normal mode. same
black screen problem again.

i am dumbfounded.. obviously the graphics card drivers is the culprit but
i
cant do anything to it. i even uninstalled dark crusade tinking its
causing
problems but to no avail. i got to events viewer and i got this error

The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
ASPI32
eeCtrl
Fips
Processor
SAVRTPEL
SYMTDI
