I recently tried to install Windows XP in a new system
that previously had W2000. The installation went without
incident, but once it finished the monitor went black. I
restarted the system and the same thing happened just
after the normal startup screens. It looks as if the
system goes into hibernation once it finishes loading XP,
I tried starting in safe mode but the same thing happens.
Given the fact that I don't have a chance to access
control panel before the screen goes off, I wonder if
there is a way to disable the hibernation mode from
kicking in automatically?.
It is pertinent to mention that the system worked
perfectly under W2000, and before installing windows XP I
formatted the hard disk so as to have a completely new OS
install
