Problem Fixed let thread die...

I just bought a PC, It has XP Installed on it. The thing is it boots & the shows the devices & than instead of going to the XP boot screen it just goes to black. I thried to boot of windows 98 cd & I tell it to boot of cd-rom & than it goes to black. I tried the Windows XP CD & it does the press F6 to boot drivers & after that nothing... Its a ASUS Mobo & a AMD 2600+ XP CPU. I know this is in the wrong place but mods if you will allow it for a little while I would like to get the problem fixed soon thanks.

Sounds like a straight-ballin' problem.

boot in safe mode, I think you hold down f8 or f11 after the start up screen and change your resolution settings

I messed around with the CD-ROM wires & it booted
