Blank screen after Windows 2003 splash screen

June 19, 2008

I went to reboot a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server and upon the reboot and

Windows 2003 Splash screen it went blank and never came back. I have not

updated anything on the server. I found that if I go into F8 services and use

the last known good it sometimes comes back. The only thing updated on the

server was applications, such as COM+ packages. Has anyone seen this before?

If no OS patches have been installed, or system changes what would be causing

this?
