    hi having a little problem booting up my old pc i dont use it anymore but the rest of the family does and lately after the xp logo screen with the loading bar it just goes to a blank screen, although if i keep trying a few times after awhile it will boot up ok no problems, any ideas why its happening in the first place though?

    Is there a cursor blinking in the upper right hand corner?

    I have seen this occur when there Is something wrong with the video card/video driver.
