[Help]XP Stopping Just Before Logon Screen

[Azion]

Hey all,

I've had a recent problem with my Windows XP Pro SP2 install. It loads up until the logon screen. At this stage there's nothing on the screen, no cursor, just a black screen. My keyboard still responds to Numlock on/off, etc, so I'm guessing it's not stalled. 1 out of 3 times it boots up properly and I get the logon screen. I've tried safe mode and it boots everytime perfectly.

Does anybody have any idea what this could be, or maybe a suggestion of someway of monitoring the boot process?

Cheers

Have you overclocked your system ?

Problem with your video card?

When a machine boots fine in safe mode, but has issues booting normally, it's going to be a driver issue, or a startup service/startup item issue. Use msconfig when you are in safe mode to disable all non-Microsoft services and any and all startup items you can, and reboot normally and see what happens.

My systems not overclocked, and I've had no problems with my graphics card.

I'll try your suggestion cluberti, cheers
