help please xp wont start

Jul 7th, 2006

when i turn on my computer just before the windows xp starts up a black screens appears and nothing happens. i tried repairing it using the windows cd.....nothing happened. i loaded my best performance thingy (someone said that might help, don't really know)...didn't work. then i re-installed xp twice and the same thing occurs, what do i do now?
oh and these problems started when i had re-installed xp. when i got my computer it was xp....we installed pro later but decided we wanted pro on laptop so when i re-installed xp problems occured (restarted multiple times when i was login in an account).

any help will be appreciated

To begin with, please give us the make and model of the computer.

Please do not contact me by email or PM for help. We're all volunteers here, and only have so much free time to dedicate to our efforts.

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.

Try reformating with a boot disk and installing xp again. You can do a google search for boot disks.

Yeah. Reformat the hard drive and then install XP.

You havn't upgraded your Windows XP recently have you?
I know some people who had a hard time getting the Windows software run normally after upgrading it, from like windows OS.
