All of a sudden my laptop computer has gone absolutly barmey! In normal mode it won't load up Windows at all the screen just goes blank. I can manage to get Windows XP booted up using Safe Mode but the screen goes absolutly mad like a sort of snow storm: Screenshot. At first I thought that this was a faulty monitor but it can't be because the poor picture quality shows up in the screenshot. The picture is also blocky when the computer is loading up on the boot screens. I've got avast! Pro and Zone Alarm Pro running, both of which are up to date.
Using window xp pro I on computer.I'm using pentium 3..
It's fine loading bios and till window xp logo..
when it starting to load the welcome window screen.. (which it didnt reach the welcome screen at all)
It just stuck at the black screen.. so i try to run in safe mode, weirdly it able to open.. okie

b4 this happened.. it all started one day.. i let my computer to download some personal stuff.. then computer got hanged, and i just shut the computer just like that..so now, i cant reach the welcome screen at all..
i have a toshiba laptop with Windows XP home installed the computer loads till where it says Windows Xp home edition after that hte screen goes blank and a blue screen appears and disappears really quick i was wondering if there is any way to fix this
I have XP Entertainment Home Edition. My system boots up to the user profile screen where I can choose between the two profiles If I select either profile a blank desktop appears (no icons/no windows task bar) and freezes Trying to boot into Safe Mode also hangs after choosing a profile. It's a Dell so I don't have the XP cds to try a repair. I do have other computers with different versions of XP installed that are working fine
When i start the laptop both the lights and the fans come on but the screen is blank. Tried replacing ram and hard disk but that doesn't seem to work. Sometimes the loading screen does come on but always freezes at XP loading screen and goes blank. Most of the time the screen stays blank when start button is pushed. Tried going through other monitor but doesn't still work.
I recently installed suse on my computer and I also have windows xp installed on a seperate partition. Since I am an idiot I was on windows xp and I decided to delete the suse partition trough windows. After I deleted the suse partition, I restarted windows and like ususal it said Grub loading, but I got an error because obviously suse is no longer there, so I put in the win xp disc and tried to repair windows. I thought if I deleted the 956 mb swap partition it would correct the system from trying to load Grub, but it actually made things worse and now I cannot even load the windows xp disc. Now when I try to load the xp disc it says inspecting system configuration then the screen goes blank.
I have an ongoing probem that I'm still trying to fix, one thing I have done is used Revo uninstaller to remove McAfee which I thought might be a problem. It removed all traces of McAfee and this and also seems to have taken system restore point with it!When I open system restore I just a blank screen.
when I went to log onto my pc, after turning on the screen, it remained blank in a stand-by sort of screen. I had left it on the previous evening while running basic Windows Disk-cleaner. So, I couldn't get the PC to respond, and rebooted it. Upon rebooting, I recieved an error message saying that the file "system32c_1252" was missing or corrupt. I tried booting off of the original system setup cd, and repairing the installation, but it didn't work and I recieved another error message stating that "system322052" was missing or corrupt. After that, I managed to get access Dos console and ran "CHKDSK" and "FIXBOOT." Fixboot completed successfully, while chkdsk first hung at 50% and then, when I tried again, completed with unfixable errors. I exited and got back to the original bootup screen, where upon I got the same message as before, only this time it informed me that my windowssystem32configsystem file was missing or corrupt. Now it seems as if there are new small changes each time I try to start up. I'm at a total loss regarding this. I have virus protection, firewall, and I hadn't been downloading or surfing any unfamiliar sites.
Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002, Dell Dimension 2400. I can no longer open any e-mail that is sent to me with a link in it to view further information. All I get is a large, blank, white screen. Not sure what I have done. And, on another note, I have lost the bar at the bottom of the computer that shows you, with green bars in a small rectangle, when a site is loading. I have tried system restore but am told that no changes have been made to my computer.
I am trying to install Windows XP Pro on a second hard drive in my computer, but when i insert the disc it says something about setup scanning the system or something of that nature.Then the screen goes blank and doesn't do anything else. The reason why I dont want to just upgrade is because some things I use dont play nice with XP pro and I want a clean install of it. How can I get my computer to install this second OS properly?
I just came back from vacation and turned on my other computer only to find that right after it flashed the "Dell" screen, it showed a blank screen with random letters/numbers flashing in green. It just freezes there.
It's possible that someone else was on it and may have messed it up but I'm not sure. I'm hoping its still salvageable.
I am trying to become computer smart......still working on it. My problem....Blue screen will not load nt4 os......BS states memory dump. Tried to restart......not working. I can enter, and did, f2 startup. I read where I needed to delete an old partition, did, now nt4 startup disk with not load, as i am prompted that the drive is too big (3.99). I cant seem to partition the drive? I would like to just start from scratch, wipe drive, start over..I just want to get this going so I could update nt4 (currently has sp1). I think I have my work cutout for me.
I just replaced my power supply because after coming back from vacation my PC wouldn't boot. The new supply power works but I get to the XP load scree with the little progress bar and it just hangs there. I restored to last know good point and that did nothing and I did a system restore and neither seemed to help. I am able to start in safe mode but I'm not sure where to turn and I'm not sure what happened while I was gone
I have come to use my system restore today and it doesnt load up. When i first click it the egg timer appears to load but nothing happens, when i click it again it loads but i just get a white screen.
Very similar to the following problem but i do not have a raid, and it seems that this PC has a raid and i don't, plus it was never really determined what the actual solution was.
The basics: XP Professional Boot up screen, right before the windows loading screen, or direct after the F8 Menu if you hit "Start Windows Normally..." it will just lock up, no HDD activity, blank screen. now BSOD, nothing.
All 3 safe mods work fine.
Ran chkdsk /r in recovery. Ran proper fixboot procedure.
Went into safe mode and checked the event viewer.
The only concerning message i got was: The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: AmdK8 Fips nod32drv
Formatting really isnt an issue since i can back up anything i need through safe mode. However its just the fact that the Windows gremlin has struck me again and i must defeat it once more.
I highly doubt this is a hardware issue as it is more of a driver/software issue.any help?
When i turn on,first Windows screen appears,then a blue screen blinks,then hp screen,then a blank page with cursor on the top left,then a screen with the message"we apologise for the inconvinience but Windows did not start successfully.there was a hardware or software problem.I tried to run it in Safe mode, Windows normally,last known configuration but no luck......Then someone suggested to Get into the Recovery Console by making a Recovery CD with ISO image but the machine is not responding to any of it.Is it with CD/DVD ROM drive or any major hardware problem???...I ran a self hard drive test and it seemed fine
I was playing a game and I rebooted my computer. When i went to start it it went to the a blank blue screen before the account screen in the beginning of XP. I know i can restore to new but i will have lost so much information that it would take about 3 months to retain it all back. It says it can not find operating system. I need help in a serious way. all advice and solutions are requested.

Hey my screen will go blank like it's starting up the screen saver after a few minutes on my PC. Then it will go back to what i was doing can i fix this?
There are 2 accounts in my XP Pro SP2 machine, one has admin rights, the other is limited. When I log into the limited account then log off, Windows does not return me to the welcome/login screen, instead it gives me a blank screen (my monitor, which uses DVI, gives me "No signal"). Pressing any key will not wake the computer. The only resort is to press the Reset button. I expect this to be either software or hardware incompatibility.
I tried to open an flv file in Winamp and XP froze up, and do not start up again except in Safe Mode. The XP splash screen comes up, but then the screen goes blank.
I was using MSN aquarium screensaver, and it locked up the screen. I rebooted and changed to pipes. This was ok for a couple of weeks, and then pipes locked up. Now I have changed to bezel, and the screen just fadeds in and out and then goes blank. When I try to change back I get a message that properties is not responding. Has anyone a fix for this?
Randomly I will get a blank white screen, or a white screen with vertical lines. When this happens the only thing I can do is turn the computer off. It has always rebooted successfully and no data has been lost, however it is a great annoyance. I have looked in the event viewer and don't find anything unusual.
I have the same screen described in the posts below, I tried to follow the same steps, but the same files (kvkruz) are not in my C:Windows, and the same items were not there.
When I open my recylce bin it shows nothing, only a blank screen, as if there were no files in it. But when I click to empty the recylce bin I get the delete confirmation "are you sure you want to delete these 83 items?" If I click yes, the little empty sound plays, but if I empty the bin again I get the exact same delete message. Why can't I see these files and why can't I delete them? Running windows xp with sp2.
Every so often my screen will go blank for a second or two and then return to normal. This happens whether I am or not logged onto the internet.I am using NVIDEA (whatever that is) and it says it is working properly. I also have a registry cleaner so clear the caches and temp internet files regularly and defray monthly.I have been logged on for 15 mins now and it hasn't (so far) happened but some hours ago it was happening every couple of mins. Could it be some other cache that fills up and causes this?
