ERROR messages at Startup Windows XP

[Jon]

hello. I need help. Every time I log on the computer, an
error message pops up:

System not shut down correctly.
Please choose a choice:

Safe Mode
Safe Mode and Netwoking
Safe Mode in MS-DOS
Windows Xp restore to Most recent working process
Normal Mode

I click normal mode, but then all I see is a black screen
with nothing on it.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need it by August 5th!
Thank you

Reboot into the safe mode or select the "last known good

configuration" option from the advanced options menu. Then
open the PC case to inspect for any loose components, such
as RAM not fully seated, or the video card not properly
pushed into it's slot. If you get booted in windows, check
the device manager for any signs of a bad device driver,
then update drivers. Also look in the event viewer for
error and / or warning messages. If into safe mode you can
try to do a system restore back before this problem. Or
boot to the XP CD for a repair reinstall.
