My win xp sp2 machine goes to a black screen when I log on, sometimes
the desktop and icons appear first.
I have tried to boot from the win cd but the machine then just switches off
some time after the menu has appeared.
It is a dual boot machine with Linux which is running fine, that's how
I'm sending this post.
Any suggestions

Will it boot in Safe Mode?

Will it boot with only keyboard, mouse and monitor connected?

Hope this helps.
