My boyfriend just bought me a new desktop from Dell for x-mas. It's been running perfect for a couple of days now but tonight when I went to turn it on, it turned on and came to the Dell screen just fine but it did not load to the log on screen (the blue XP screen). The screen was lit up but blank black. I turned it off and restarted it and it loaded just fine. If anyone knows why it would do that or anything else, please let me know!

it was probably just a glitch
it's fine now most likely
it probably has a warranty if you want to get a new one

It happened because you opened your present early! Right click drive C, click properties, tools, and check the disk for errors. If you get a good scan, it is just Bill Gates checking to see if you are awake. This can also be caused at times by the windows update procedure.

It could have just been a delay in the XP loader, make sure you go to Windows Update and get all of the available Windows XP updates. It should fix it permanently. Hope this helps.

It something to do with the video card there in your computer. Usually that'll do that, mine do that once in a while also but it will be fixed after restarting the computer. You need to check the settings on your BIOS, see if it has the default settings. Press F8 if your restarting your computer to enable the BIOS screen.
Hope that helps.
