Windows freezes once a day on first boot!?

Every day windows likes to freeze for the first boot but seems perfectly fine after i press the restart button, its really odd, the only change i can think of is my Compro TV card, could that be the problem?

Thanks.

It's not overclocked and everything is running normal, temps, power etc.

Could it be something to do with the hard drive freezing up on first boot?

Don't know if it helps but a few times it started up ok but then in widows the mouse would freeze shortly after everything has been loaded.

Ok i've reinstalled XP now and there was something in the tv cards manual that said to change two jumpers to stop it being able to control power up but it was never connected to the power switch anyway, well the jumper change should have fixed it but sadly it did not so im not even sure what the problem is now.

Anyone have the Compro VideoMate DVB-T200 or T300 card and get a similar problem?

Anyone have any more ideas why its happening?

Once at boot seems quite odd and as its a new install i've left startup items very minimal atm just to see. :confused:
