I am running a machine with Windows XP Home edition on an
NTFS. Recently, SBC Yahoo! DSL was installed using their
ethernet adapter. The computer worked fine for a few
days, it was shutdowm and rebooted several times without
a problem. But now when I boot I get the Advanced
Options menu because "windows did not start properly".

No matter what option I choose, the computer freezes and
will not continue.

Even when I let the timer run out, it hits zero and
freezes.

Any ideas?

I have reinstalled system files using sys.com, I have
tried both fixboot and fixmbr from the Recovery Console.
I have ran extensive hardware diagnostics and everything
comes up perfectly. I have even tried booting after
removing all unnecessary hardware - pci cards, cd drives,
etc. Same effect, no error messages. Just freezes.

Can anyone help?
 
Robert, could be a flaky Power Supply, overheating, corrupt drivers or
system files.
