could be a lot of things.... |

 Gen Halley it is XP, after all. If it's freezing up after you turn it on and while it's booting up, it's usually because the computer can't read something, which means it could be fragmentation or a bad HDD sector (though, the mouse usually will freeze or hang as well in those cases). I don't think it would be a memory problem, because if you're on the login screen, the computer hasn't really loaded anything that would be taking up that much memory, considering what XP uses already. Assuming you can get the thing to start, try your basic maintenance procedures, but go through them all, and clear your caches before you do it. That might solve your problem. If not, move on to virus and spyware scans; a lot of times stuff gets in anyway and affects performance. Hardware is usually the last thing to check.

I'm thinking that this could be a memory issue though, seeing how random this issue is. The power was fine, and like I said, the cursor could still move, but the underlying OS seemed to be stuck. > >Any other ideas/suggestions? Thanks. > >- Venom Gen.
