when i power on my system or restart it, on start up it shows a blank screen with a cursor on top left corner and thereon it boots up properly loading the windows and i am able to use my system with ease.
I believe i tried most of the things i could to remove the black screen on start up.

Things i did:-
Check my DVD Drive for any CD's.
BIOS Setting: Boot Priority to Hard Drive, Hard Drive Pre Delay=0, Disable all other boot up options.
Repair Windows: Virus Scan, FIXMBR, FIXBOOT, BOOTCFG.
Nothing helped.

Do help me, if there are any other specific settings i have left out or any suggestions to resolve this.

Something similar happened to me except I could move the mouse, I fixed it by restarting, pressing F8 and in the Windows Startup Options, selected "Last Known Good Configurations" try that and see if it works.

Thanks a lot! Yes the black screen with a cursor on the top left corner lasts for a few seconds only.

don't worry about it ....its common

But it never used to happen earlier. I haven't added anything to my system. Just changed my PS2 keyboard which gave me a lot of trouble. I would like to share, it may help someone:-
My system used to hang indefinitely, sometimes on boot, sometimes after logging in (5 to 10 minutes) and sometimes it never booted. Earlier I thought it was because of some virus but after trying various things i thought it was a motherboard problem. I gave it to my vendor and he formatted it without diagnosing anything and gave it back saying that its working fine. Later at home i identified that it was due to the faulty keyboard. I changed the keyboard with a new USB one and the system worked properly since then but i also noticed the black screen problem. Somebody told me that its due to some faulty component (capacitor) on the motherboard.
