Ok.
So I went into the BIOS of my ABIT IC7-G and changed the memory accelerator option thing to F1 from Auto, just for an experiment. The next time I booted the Abit Biosblock came up saying I should insert a system disk so i can fix a possibly corrupt bios.

I figured that memory changed probably couldnt corrupt BIOS so I cleared the CMOS using the jumper to see if that would help. It made it so the computer appeared to boot upjust fine. I went into the BIOS and changed everything to what it was when it was working and tried booting. When it got to the point where the XP loading screen would come up it just was black, nothing happening.

I tried to do a repair installation of XP and when it rebooted to the XP setup screen it just went black, like it had before.

Please Help.
Thanks.
 
First, make sure your memory is working properly. One of the nice things about Memtest86 is that it creates a self booting floppy, so you don't need an OS installed to use it. Start there and see what results.....

If your RAM is bad, it would explain why a fresh install of XP got corrupted during the file copy / install process.

Lastly, here's a link to a thread I posted some time back on stability testing. Works for me....

Good Luck - B.B.S.
