Please HELP! When I turn on or restart my PC, the computer goes acts like it will start up. After it shows the XP startup screen it goes black. The pointer centers itself on screen and I can still control it but I cant do anything. I have attempted starting in safe mode but I cannot. I also attempted putting the recovery disk in then restarting but it does nothing. Any suggestions would be awesome!
