Alright here is the deal. My Windows XP is freezing at about a minute after start up. Like it totally locks down... I am able to use it in Safe mode. I have the service packs and everything. My specs are AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800 1gig of ram, NVIDIA Geforce 7800 GTX. I can't figure it out...
Any help would be appreciated... -Evil Nadman

Oh and I have checked to make sure that it isn't anything overheating. I used to make computers. I don't ever have problems figuring out hardware problems it's the software ones that stump me. - Evil Nadman

Then my guess is a driver issue, or hardware is going bad. Or maybe a key file is corrupt, or the hard drive has bad sectors (not likly) Does the system log have anything juicy written? Hey thanks for the tip! I found out what the problem was and now I have fixed it. It had been something called DCOM that had caused the computer to glitch and freeze up for some wierd reason. Now that I have it disabled I am able to use the computer without any hitches! -Evil Nadman
