Computer Boot Up problem,,, When I turn on computer it goes straight to black streen?
on streen has words like 1.44 boot 3.49 something
I'll turn it off and try again... I can hit ESC to the boot system and select the 1st boot system and will start now.
I reset to earlier date, doesn't help ... does the same thing when I push start, goes to black screen and will not boot up on its own.

Take a breath, sit for a moment (((
OK push the power button on the monitor
Then push the power button on the computer
It should power up.... Boot drive program should be reset

Sounds like an XP reinstall is needed. Yes, you'll need to find an XP disc.
