HDD is getting worst buddy, replace it...it will work fine.

[magneticme200]

are u sure/??
coz smebdy else told me tht my motherboard is going bad..!!

[enticer86]

Exactly same prob here.. i guess it mite be so many updates- to antivirus and all.

[solomon_paulraj]

during boot.. enter BIOS and check CPU temperature.. if it is high than recommended, see whether CPU fan is working..

Hard disk problem...I was fed up of the three steps and bought a new harddrive..and using the old one as secondary (which still gives some prob..but the OS dun stop responding coz its not on it )

Not sure but I hv noticed this problem in my PC also...I replaced HDD...voila prob was gone.

Generally windows xp gets hanged when it has bad sector. check you hdd if it has bad sector. if it has bad sector change it.

Yeah when heatsink of cpu get overheating it also hangs but your system is starting 1st time naa...., so it isn't a heatsink problem.

If your hdd is sata one just change sata power cable (as their are lot of proble m with sata power cables) then uninstall HDD contollers from device manager and restart your PC. If possible try swapping RAM and/or smps and/or HDD, with one from your friend, see if problem persists, if so your motherboard may have problem.

I think we can follow two steps here.

1. Clean up cpu and ram socket.
2. Change the ram slot

[dheeraj_kumar]

^^ check power too. A faulty PSU or a overheated proccy can definitely cause these problems.

thse two steps solve my frm problem fr the time being....bt aftr some time the prob again comes up.....

This is caused mainly due to faulty psu . Are there frequent power fluctuation in your area ? Also check cpu and motherboard temperature . Try removing any usb devices like printers etc if they are present . I recently had this problem and a new psu did the trick .

yeah thre hv been a lot of power cuts in the past few months...(i dnt hv a ups)..!!
bt hw do i chk whthr its a prob with the psu??

I'v started to face the same problem since last a few days.

i too, hv power failures in my area.
but the problem appears sometimes ever during startup, so i guess its nothing to do with HDD. Worst happens when im in BIOS menu and system gets freeze.

I found some unusual programs running in task manager (like alg .exe alg(with a space between alg & .exe).exe, googleupdate .exe, smax4 .exe)
And when i try to install a new antivirus, same freezing problem appears.

And last, this freezing problem happens even in safe mode.

Help me somebody.

Try Defragmening your HDD

[sanju_nlp81]

Try fixing the bad sectors in hdd with acronis or anything lyk that. Flash MB bios. reinstall os and god will b with u

[thetechfreak]

Check ur HDD and make sure its working properlt......also check for virusses
....

[mkgupta64]

Buddies, thnx for ur suggestions but my pc freezes even when im in BIOS menu, so i guess its nothing to do with HDD.
Still, i formatted my C: drive, removed OS (XP SP2), and still the same problem of freezing even in BIOS, exists. Plus, im not able to update BIOS due to same reason.

Sometimes, automatically everythg goes fine.

Is der any distant possiblity that my motherboard (Intel D865GBF), might hv gone bad ?

Or it might hv smthg to do with that onboard battery ??



(Note: Iv uploaded 4 screenshots for better understanding of my pc problem.
