Hi,
I have a Tecra 8100 laptop. It just started having the blue screen of death upon startup. I get the Welcome to Windows XP screen (before the XP login screen) and then it goes black and I next...

Dear WCA21

I too have this Tecra problem. I booted up my machine a couple days ago, and it froze on the desktop screen so I shut it off and rebooted... then, nothing. Black screen, no whirring....
