Problem at boot, with no error

Found it, it was the usb modem :)
thanks for your help, my isp changed the modem and it's all working smoothly
now :)
...

Is Windows XP SP2 installed?

What version of Microsoft Net.Framework is installed?

Radeon 9800 Pro. What Catalyst Version is installed? Information
accessible on ATI Options Tab.

Your problem could be related to drivers.

Select, All Programmes, Accessories, System Tools, System Information,
Software Environment, System Drivers. Please provide the names of any
drivers where the Status is anything other than OK. The Status column
may be off screen off to the right so you may have to Scroll to see it.
You can reduce the widths of columns by dragging.

It's a computer I built myself

I don't need a boot disk since the computer boots (fully in safe mode)

There is no restart of the system since there is no error message / bsod :
just a black screen instead of the login screen.

Apparently disabling my graphic card make the computer boot normally, but
other weird things happen (the usb modem doesn't work until after a reboot
for instance).

I'm looking into it at the moment.

...

What computer manufacturer and model?

Do you have a boot disk?

Next I suggest you Disable automatic restart on system failure. This
should
help by allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click
on the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
StartUp and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.

Enable automatic restart on system failure after you have captured /
copied and pasted the message in a further post here.
