Booting Up Problem

[Sharon]

I am not sure which section of XP this should go, but
hopefully someone can help in here.

When my computer re-starts the resolution is off and I
have to go into settings and change it. It appears to
boot up ok, but then the screen goes black and thats when
the resolution goes off. It also blinks and does that 2
more times.

Is this possibly some setting I need to fix. Thanks

Sharon, sounds like you are having problems with the graphics card or
chip.
