Default What the hell?

I have Windows XP and everything was fine until suddenly a file came up missing ending in dll. Basically a guy at Geek Squad told me that I had to reinstall. Now I reinstalled with a cd that someone lent me. It worked for 3 days and now today I start my computer and windows loads to a black page. Does anyone know what the hell I did this time? It looks like windows loads but nothing comes up on the screen. The same thing happens with Safe Mode. I can see the actual words "Safe Mode" stuff around the screen, but everything else is black.

Sometimes scientists make things alot harder than they need to. All they've gotta do is put a big spring on the ground where they think it's gonna land, or send a mission to the moon to erect a sign that says "Welcome to Earth".

And next time this happens, go Start > Run then type
sfc /scannow
then hit OK. Follow instructions that pop up on screen.

This is after you run your AV software.
