Hi Drjsr,
Bad update or a faulty hardware. Did you update hardware driver via windows update ? I never do, but if you did maybe a faulty driver came from there.
Thanks

Friday, February 08, 2013 6:04 AMThanks for the input Yagmoth555. No. All drivers for MB (intel S1200BLT) where updated during the intial OS load using the latest Intel Deployment Assistant 5.0 program ( intel web site). Os load went smooth. I immediately ran microsoft update until no more updates where available( 02/06/2013). Server ran without issues. Next day( 02/07/2013) rechecked for updates, new ones available ... on required reboot WALA black screen with no curser. I can get to Bios setup with F2 key all looks well there. Yes, Bad update possible.

Friday, February 08, 2013 6:30 AMThanks Santosh, Prior to inital OS load I did update latest firmware from intel web site. That incidently corrected the " rear fan running to fast issue" I was having with the intel MB S1200BLT & intel chassis P4304XXSFCN. Yes reloading the firmware good input.

Friday, February 08, 2013 7:02 AMThanks for the input cguan, I can not answer you. We seem not to be able to get into safe mode using F8 key. Will try again. Maybe posting to fast for us. Will try holding down F8 or using fn F8 combo.

In all case if you can, please do the "Enable Boot Logging" and check the file ntbtlog.txt in your %systemroot%.
The last line would be the faulty driver triing to load up.
