Recently, one of my computers running Windows XP Home froze and had to be restarted. However, when it finished displaying the Windows XP boot up screen (with the Windows XP logo in the center and animated blue bar near the bottom of the screen), it only proceeds to show me a black screen with a constantly blinking horizontal cursor in the upper left-hand corner. Normally at this time it would proceed to the user login screen with the logo on the left-hand side and the list of users registered on the computer on the right-hand side, but it isn’t doing that anymore. I tried to shut down/restart the computer again but the same process keeps happening and has rendered the computer unusable. I have literally left the computer on for hours, but all it does it sit at the black screen with the blinking cursor. I have checked the case of the computer and it is relatively clean of dust and dirt, and the fan appears to be operating fine.
Is there any reason why this is happening?
