When I try to install XP Pro to my computer, on the
restart, I see the logo screen with a status bar for about
5 seconds, and then the screen turns black. Is there a
reason for this? Is there some way I can get my install
to work properly if this isn't the right way?

Thanks for any help that may come.

If this is a new computer/motherboard: Check the CPU bus
speed setting. Initially, the jumper (JP2) was set
to 'Auto' from the manufacturer (L4VXA2 P4 motherboard;
Celeron 2.66 GHz CPU, 400 MHz FSB) Changed it to '533'
(I'm running one stick of 512 MB DDR RAM. When I first
started XP and W2K installs, I first had to disable L1/L2
cache which of course is really slow, and after reboot re-
enabled it - still crashed. Resetting the mobo's bus speed
corrected the problem.
