Strange XP issue. Black screen after windows XP logo

[Guest Dawn]

I have had this happen on 3 systems within the last months. 2 were IBM

Thinkpads T61p's and one was a Dell Optiplex 745. I am not sure what is

causing this except that many posts on the internet point to video. I am

able to start in safemode, and have changed my msconfig to use the /basevideo

option but that has not worked at all. I give on this....it seems strange

that quite a few people have posted within the month of June on this similar

problem. All of my systems were XP Pro Sp2...nto Sp3.

Have a look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314503/en-us

 

I've seen this on several Dell Optiplexes, and running a repair installation

of XP has always resolved it.
