My PC will turn on and load up windows and right after that the screen goes blank for awhile then just turns off completely! Any idea whats wrong? I've never had this happen before.

It could be so many things! Can you boot into SafeMode...Pressing F8 right before Windows starts to boot? Also, can you boot with the OS in drive? Specs?

Chances are its either your RAM or HDD. Try using only one stick of RAM to see if one is broken,,,,if that doesent fix it then run a CHKDSK/r on your HDD via booting from your XP CD and going into the recovery console.
