Did you pull the disc out of the drive? Go into bios and check your boot order, it sounds like your optical drive may be before your hard drive and its trying to boot off of a non bootable disc. Just switch the hard disk to the first slot and you wont have the issue again.

Yes i took the disc out, and restarted the computer again, boot screen(which is the motherboard logo) then it hangs then the black screen again. But i will check to see if the optical drive is booting first.
