Guest Dawn Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 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.

Black screen after windows XP logo 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.
