Vista Black Screen on start up

[wolf_cub]

Hi umm i have recently got vista home premium nd well 90% of the time when i
start it up it will get to the loading bar then after that when the lil vista
logo usually loads the screen looses signal! I have to keep restarting the
computr till it finally works? Why is this and how can i fix it. One thing i
have dont updates and a heap didnt install but i cant try to install them
again.....PLease help this is realy anoying.

What do you mean by "the screen loses signal?" Does it freeze? If it does,
then for how long? Do you wait for a few minutes for it to come back or you
push the power button to turn the machine off?

Or perhaps you have another scenario: your screen goes black after the logo
appears for a few seconds? Please, describe the events in detail.

There is a small chance that you are too impatient and turn the machine off
prematurely since Vista needs some time to crunch previously installed
updates. This will not continue forever. After a few such boots the system
will boot much faster. Just be patient for a while.
