This is a peculiar problem--When using the restart function (start--turn off computer---restart) windows will not reload---I can get past the post from the bios but after that the screen goes blank and stays black----xp will not continue loading.
Now if I power off the pc using the power button---wait 10 seconds and then power on ---presto----xp loads as it should---what could be causing this peculiar problem----PS. Using the reset button on the pc while xp is loaded-- forcing a restart yields the same results as in paragraph 1.
I'm wondering if there is a hardware issue. Can anyone help?
My system:
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe mbo (socket 939)
Athlon64 X2 3800+ processor
Nvidia 9500GT 512MB vid card
2 gig RAM
Win XP PRo sp2
