Boot the computer and immediately start pressing and releasing F8 over and over again. Instead of the Windows login screen, you should get the Advanced Boot Options menu. Select Safe Mode. Click the Startup tab. Each item has a checkbox. The ones that are checked are enabled. Make a note of which ones are enabled so that you can go back to them later if need be. I would suggest running hardware scans, since we can't exactly get into your machine. Even in safemode 1 First start with the hard drive, as it is the quickest.

Replies 4 Views As I was trying to decide what to try next, the screen seemed to blink and the USB mouse stared working, but it also gave the indication that new hardware was added. Long story short, I was never able to get to the cmd mode before freezing, and then it gave an error that Windows could not boot because a Windows system file was missing or corrupt.
However, I still suspect the motherboard since it is freezing earlier than ever, even before Windows boots. I think the mother board problems may have caused the Windows system file corruption, if that is possible, but still trying to fix the boot up problem. I tried using the default bios settings and that helped a lot, even clearing up the Windows system error, but still have the cursor freeze about minutes after boot up.
What directory do you run it from? I realized I do have a problem with the new GB drive slave not getting fully recognized, so I guess this motherboard only support up to GBs like my old Gateway.
I will try creating logical drives, or finding a cheap adapter card like I did for the Gateway, but freeze started before this drive was added. Looking forward to more production and less maintenance. Regarding these freezing XP PCs, I am just wondering when is the best time to decide it is time to "punt" and either get rid of a PC or upgrade from the motherboard on up? There doesn't seem to be a definitive way to determine the motherboard problem until you have exhausted every other possibility.
