Computer freeze on boot up..

Hlebio · 5 Aug 2006 at 22:53

Hey guys.

My computer has been incredibly slow at booting up for a while now, and bootvis doesn't seem to make a difference like it once did. Sometimes my PC will take up to 2 minutes to boot, usually hanging on the Windows XP screen for the majority of that time.

The past 2 days or so though my PC has actually been freezing on the Windows XP screen and I've had to turn it off at the front. When I turn it back on though it loads windows.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Reload Windows.
Or fixboot, fixmbr using repair on boot
works 1 in 10 times :rolleyes:

Yeah, thinking about reinstalling Windows tomorrow.

Not just because of this problem but because it's been a while since I last did it and I dunno, I kinda "enjoy" doing it.

A fresh Load > everything.
Reloaded mine yesterday and it's feels so nice :-)

Until I put all my crap back on it

Well I've fresh installed and everything is so smooth and fast.

Boot up is much quicker now too, but we'll see how it goes... it might go back to how it was once I've eventually put all my stuff back on.
