Starting Windows

[Stu]

This is not quiet a simple question, I have Windows XP home edition on my pc
(specs: AMD Seperon 2800+, ASUS K8S-MX, Western Digital HD (120gb, SATA), OCZ
512mb Ram, Radeon 9500 (128mb)) and when i load windows (or try to) i see the
bar go across the screen then nothing happens by the screen going blank. This
is not the first time i have had trouble with windows in the last month. I
have had to re-install it 5-6 times (3 of which were in 2 days) because the
registry corupted and i was unable to gain access to windows. And now the
problem is that the screen just goes black after windows has loaded (were the
login screen would be) and i cannot get any further. Yet again this problem
started with the famous registry problem that i have been happening, which
is:

"Windows - Registry Recovery
One of the files containing the system's Registry data had to be recovered
by the use of a log or alternate copy. the recovery was successful."

I don't know what the heck is up with it so i would be greatful if anybody
knows (including nice people at Microsoft ;) ) as im not even 18 yet :( so my
knowledge is very little :(

Please help me

With all the problems you've been having on this system, I'd look to
hardware as the cause. Since you say you aren't computer savvy, take the
machine to a reputable professional computer repair shop (not your local
version of BigStoreUSA) for diagnosis.
