449625 2006-04-26 06:08:00 Hey people,

I have a problem with the system freezing on the XP loading screening when the blue bar is moving across. The computer has not been used for the few months that I have been away and I have just come home and found it had this problem.
Starting in safe mode usually works, but not always
I have XP service pack 2.

Any help would be appreciated.

Check your motherboard for the number, and be careful many people break the holder trying to get it out, and if you can look in the bios for Vbat, should be better than 2.7 volts. zqwerty (97)

Dell says CR2032. Does this model apply to all motherboards?

449629 2006-04-28 06:37:00 Thanks for your replies, but I have found that when I unplug the USB sockets (printer & scanner), the system does not freeze.
Whould there be any reason for this? Should I reinstall the drivers?

Thanks

Give it a try. However, I don't think the the problem lies in the faulty driver of the scanner and the printer - my opinion, anyway.
