Default Can't boot in Win XP

First item, working with a hand-made PC but running under Win XP, SP 2.

Was able to boot up yesterday but think I shut down PC incorrectly.

Now PC goes thru preliminary processing, I press F1 to continue setup, PC
gots to Windows XP, tells me it is starting, but then monitor goes blank and
no further action, no chance to do anything again. keyboard is a non-factor
at this point. Mouse also.

Can only reset and PC goes through same process again.

Obviously have no backup discs, so what are my options?

Anxiously awaiting response.

Default Can't boot in Win XP

Why do you need to press F1 to continue, what is the error message that
prompts pressing F1.?

If you had a bad shut down

boot up with your XP cd

and from the repair console issue the command: chkdsk /r
