Try starting it in Safe Mode and select the Last Known Working Configuration, let us know how you get on.
If that doesnt work, listen to see if the PC beeps when it attempts to start, if it does count the frequency of the beeps, e.g. 3 short 3 long, that sort of thing then post the results here.
Another thing, is the black screen before or after the windows logo?
