So here's an interesting little problem that I've been getting for the last week or so. Every time I switch on my PC it'll boot properly but then about 30 seconds after the desktop loads it totally locks up and won't respond to any input at all - not even ctrl+alt+del works.
I hit the reset switch and this time it'll get about halfway through the boot before freezing, always before the XP screen withthe little scanning blue bar. Reset again and the samething happens. Reset again and it'll take a couple of minutes to come up but when it does everything is fine.
I've tried a fresh install of XPsp2 to no avail and the event viewers show nothing wrong. Does anyone know what might be going on?
