T23 blank screen during XP install

Hi everybody,

I have an IBM T23 in which i one day decided to reinstall windows xp.
I reformatted the hard-drive and proceeded with the install, everything went fine until it rebooted itself to continue the install. It booted up fine and showed me the xp loading logo but then the screen goes blank and nothing else happens. The screen however is backlit (i.e. not off or sleeping).

This happens every time.
I have tried:
-VGA mode
-Hooking up another screen
-Reformatting
-A new hard-drive

Does anyone have a solution? All help is appreciated!

Re: T23 blank screen during XP install

I do not think I have a solution but I have 2 suggestions...

1. Run HDD diagnostics
2. Run Memtest86+ to test your RAM

Both diagnostic utilities can come in a bootable CD format so you do not need an installed Windows to run these tests.
