465476 2006-06-23 17:34:00 My windows xp system freezes during the windows xp screen where there's a scroll bar that keeps on moving, and it'll stop, and totally freezes. I'd have to press the restart button on my case, and it'll keep happening for 5-10 times before the one time that it won't freeze. I tried reinstalling my windows, it didn't help. I don't know what else I can do. Is this a harddrive problem? motherboard problem? please help! meowmiao (10607)

What happens if you start the computer under Safe Mode? To access Safe Mode, just start tapping the F8 function key during boot up until you see a startup menu.

As you have already reinstalled Windows, it may suggest a hardware issue. Have you tried unplugging all un-neccessary USB devices before booting the computer? Have you added any new hardware recently?
