start up problems

[droo09]

Hey there. I am having some problems on start up. Occassionaly, about 1 out of 3 times when my system starts up, right when the desktop starts to load, my computer freezes up and I have to manually restart. I am wondering if this is due to my graphics card or driver problems, or if it has to do with my harddrive.

It could be a lot of things. I would run antivirus, antispyware, disk checkup, defragmenter and update all drivers.

^ Ya. A lot of times it is usually virus problems and not hardware related. Especially if you watch a lot of po...do a lot of internet stuff

Hmm hard to tell...Have u had and prior issues? any infections and do u have AV/AS? what kind of computer is it also.?

I am running windows xp. I have had this problem ever since the beginning, so its probably not related to viruses.

Could always go on to the task manager and see whats taking up your CPU on startup.

You should try disabling some startup items in msconfig. I bet something in there is eating away at your memory.
