Hi, I'm running Windows XP SP2 on an inspiron E1405. Recently, I've had problems starting anything up; after the dell startup screen loads, I get nothing but a black screen.
If I try booting off of a cd, I get the same black screen. It seems the only 2 things I can run properly are the bios setup and some dell diagnostics tool that tells me everything is fine.
Any suggestions?

Thanks
