well my compaq has just developed a new probelm (Compaqs have a habit of doing that :mad: )Well sometimes when i boot my computer it will oad windows XP,and where it is supposed to say "welcome",it just comes up with a black screen with the curos right in the middle,when you try moving the cursor it movesafter after about 2-3 seconds like it has no ram so it can boot,if i reset the CMOS it works fine,i have taken the clock battery out and it seems to fix.Does it needa new clock battery or is it something else???
 
Sounds like the hardware. Get a new battery, if that dont do anything than try a diffrent windows CD
