hi

my computer (p4, winxp pro sp2, 1gb ram) was fine until last week whe
i was browsing the net and the pc froze. i did a reboot but i got th
blue screen of death. i tried to start up in safe mode and the proble
still occured. as a last resort i managed to do a reinstall of the o/s.

unfortunately when i boot the computer now it sometimes freezes whe
the screen comes up that says the computer details i.e. cpu p4, i
doesnt display the primary driver etc. i have to keep rebooting unti
it works (sometimes 3 or 4 attempts).

does anyone know what might cause this problem, as i think there mus
be something wrong.

cheers :
 
Hello, manhattan.
Did you have any antivirus and antispyware prigram?
Did you check and clean your PC regular?
It seems to me you have some software problem

Check your cables.

It might be worthwhile for you to format your OS partition with a fresh
install since it sounds like one or more of the main system files has been
corrupted. You can also try to run "sfc.exe /scannow" from the run command
but there's no guarantee that will work.
