Win2k fails to start up

The machine with the 2k operating system is a Gateway
Profile 3. When it goes to start up, it makes it to the
splash screen and gets about 75% done and then just
freezes. The Machine can be run through safe mode. I
updated the bios and ended up ghosting over with a clean
image. The same problem would keep showing up.
 
It's likely that some device driver isn't working. Try removing all
unnecessary cards, see if it boots, then add one card at a time.
 
Sounds like a graphics adapter and or driver issue. Also check Event Viewer
and Device Manager for errors and or non-starting devices.
