    can you get safe mode? if so sounds like windows setup failed to see either your hd or video card, but you may be able to correct this in safe mode

    If it does go in to safe mode I think you might have a bum video card. It is failing right before you go in to a high res mode and that could be showing that you have bad video ram on you card. Especially if you do not have any other components plugged in. But more info would be nice. What CPU is it and are you getting any errors when it crashes or just a black screen?
