Black screen on start up, XP won't load in normal mode

[Guest]

I switch the computer on and everything loads fine, the BIOS, the Windows XP
splash logo etc. After the splash logo has gone (where the bar keeps moving
showing you XP is loading up) all I get is a black screen. I had touched up
on this in a couple of previous my posts but never really got into it. The
computer boots fine in safe mode but now isn't loading in normal mode. For
the past times this has happened, I've either reset the computer a couple of
times (3 - 5 times) and eventually gotten it to boot normally or I've booted
into safe mode, run the computer for a while and then restarted to boot
perfectly fine in safe mode. Now none of this seems to be working, any help
please? Unless there is absolutely no solution I'd rather not do a XP repair
install, reason for this being is I believe it would be better for me to
reinstall XP completely rather than do a repair install but that is the last
option.

hi,

1st of all, it not necessary to send 3 times request. Only one is enough.

2nd, just start your system in safe mode, change the display to 800x600 and
the frequency to 60hz and reboot in normal state.
After you can adjust the value to your desired output.
Another possible way is that you have 2 output (1 DVI and 1 VGA) and when
windows load the driver of the video card, the wrong output is selected. Just
have a look in the advanced properties of your drivers.

Hope it can help you

Yes I'm sorry about that, if you read carefully you'll see the three posts
are worded differently, after clicking continue you have to click continue
again on the next page. Twice on that second page I clicked cancel and then
obviously cause I clicked cancel
I thought those posts would not come on to the website but for some reason
they did, either way, my apologies for the mistake, I'm sorry.
I am not able to change the resolution in safe mode. It is currently on
1280x1024. I updated the video drivers but still no luck. I think it's more
towards corrupted or missing system files. Any ideas?

It doesn't boot up in VGA mode. The same thing happens, a black screen.
