Is there some solution to fix this?

Answer 1

boot the computer into safe mode by tapping on the f8 key before it displays the XP loading logo. If it displays it then you waited too long. When you eventually get to the safe mode menu, just select safe mode (at the top) and then see if the computer loads. If it does, then click start, run, type msconfig, and then click the startup tab and start at the top half or something. Use a good logarithmic approach by unchecking the top or bottom half of the startup items. If the problem goes away then it was one of the items in the top half. If it doesn't then click disable all and see if it goes away and just find out which one it was. You know you can rule out the top half. If it is a process for an application then just uninstall the application and then reboot and see if the problem stays away (after re-enabling all startup instances).

If this does not solve your problem then you could be looking at a driver issue or a service issue. You can start by double checking the device manager for no errors by right clicking on my computer, click properties, click the hardware tab and the click the device manager button. Make sure that everything is enabled and ok (this usually won't tell you anything, but safe mode will) In safe mode you might see separate drivers for the same piece of hardware.

If I had to guess, I would say that this is a video driver problem. You might be able to get into safe mode and update the video driver or roll it back if you just updated it.

And the always safe: System restore. Click start, all programs, accessories, system tools, system restore, and select restore my computer to an ealier time. Select yesterday or when you think that the computer was acting "normally" and do the restore. The system restore will not remove any files that you created, but it will roll back anything that may have been altered since the last sys check point.

Hope this helps.

If you just installed a new RAM stick or something else, make sure it is compatible with the computer and/or installed correctly. By the way, BSOD stands for blue screen of death, not black screen of death.
