I know this is like asking "is it plugged in", but have you tried
tapping a few keys and moving the mouse after a few seconds of that
black screen?

I thought I had a similar problem a few months back, but it was just
that for some reason the Welcome screen didn't repaint itself until
it saw some mouse or keyboard input.

I dont think that's the problem. It freezes on the black screen where it has
the little progress bar when it is loading to start windows and the progress
bar gets all the way complete and then it freezes. . .oh, and it gives me and
error message when I just power it down and restart it manually that gives me
two opitons: 1. delete restoration data and continue with system reboot. 2.
Proceed with system restart. When I select option two, it always gives me a
blue screen error message that never goes away until i power it down
manually. That probably didnt help at all, but that's what it does.

Oh. That sounds a little different from what you said before -- maybe
I just didn't understand your earlier description.

If you've tried the usual things like booting into Safe Mode or doing
a repair install then I'm sorry to say I have no useful suggestions.
