    Currently im on my other computer, But on my main comp im having alot of troubles.. At first it started freezing, and freezing, and crashing.. I would leave the comp running for a couple hours untouched and it would freeze. At one point I shut it off, and when i turned it back on it would just be stuck on the loading windows xp screen foreever, If it does pass that screen it will make it to the " Welcome " screen but will never go into the actual desktop.. I reformatted the computer and at first it was working alright, but then about an hour later i check on it and it froze again. I tried another hardrive and still no luck.

    My specs :
    AMD xp 2400+
    Radeon 9600 pro
    768 kingston ram
    80 gb hardrive
    I believe the motherboard is Asus, Im not quite sure on that one though.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    do a scandisk-thorough on your hard drive. there may be bad sectors that windows is banging up against that results in a crash.

    Yes, its XP :P When i restart about 50 percent of the time itll crash because the disks stop spinning in the hardrive.. Now when i start it, The cpu fan comes on and the hardrive green light does too but the disks inside the hardrive aren't spinning. Therefor, windows wont start either.
    :(

    open up the case , make sure theres no dust in the heatsink , if theres dust on it , clean it up... its an overheating problem. or it could be ur graphics card overheating. either processor or graphics card.

    EXCUSE ME?!

    THAT is a hardware issue, not software. Win XP did not stop spinning your plates in your hard drive. normal ware and tare did that...

    get a new hard drive, man...

    so? that hard drive could have problems...

    get a BRAND new one, and if it still doesn't work, send your motherboard to Iraq. They'll happily blow it up for you.

    IT IS NOT YOUR SOFTWARE THAT IS THE PROBLEM

    its a psu the rails are failing. It does not have enough power to supply power to your hd. Get a psu tester and tell us your results for what each rail is running at and the amperage.
