Hello, i got the problem of xp just getting a black screen after the windows logo appears like many of similar threads here. The only difference is that im pretty sure why my windows xp isnt working anymore, i was playing a recent game with an old video card so my comp was crashing everytime, one time crashed so badly that even the sound device went nuts. I turned off my pc and then i got this problem of windows unable to load.

Perhaps is it something related to the video card, anyway, what can i do to solve this problem?

It's crashing that kills.

Come up in safe mode. If no go come up under recovery console and run chkdsk /r to check the drive for errors.

Final solution is a repair reinstall.

Get the xp driver for your video card or get another video card compatable with your system.

Are you ready for where Microsoft wants you to go today?

remove your video card and try booting up, I would say it might be fried

I had that problem today. I rebooted into Safe Mode and ran system recovery back a day. That fixed it.
