Computer not Starting Windows2000

[kevinw27]

I have an old system with a pentium mmx-200, and 32 MB of Ram. I installed windows2000 about a week ago and everything was working fine. Very slow, but it worked. I unhooked it a few days ago and when i turned it on, the computer posts, checks memory, but then the screen goes black and it doesn't do anything else. I can hit CTR+ALT+Delete and it restarts. i can get into the bios setup and even hit f8 for bootup options, but no matter what i do, it won't boot into windows. I think i might need more ram, but i don't know. If anyone can help that would be great. Thanks.

you defiently need at least 64 mb i would get 256 or 512 though and i would do a repair on windows or reinstall the whole thing

133MHz or higher with 64MB RAM is the minimum, of course having more memory generally improves responsiveness.

Can't you even boot the system into safe-mode?
