Install a second hard drive as the master and set your original as the slave through BIOS setup.  Format as bootable using CD bootdisk.  Once you have the system on new hard drive, scan slave drive for viruses, backup data that you want to save on new master, and voila!!!!

What do you mean by "not start up"? You could try hitting f 8 when booting up (keep hitting f 8). that will take you to a screen where you can start in safe mode. uninstall the video card driver and reboot into normal mode. Then reinstall your driver

Try to do a fresh install on the computer. If anything something is causing that to happen. If it got corrupted then it might have been with an interferiance with something on the computer. Or possibly a sector went bad? I had that happen to my HD. But a clean install wont hurt you.

Sounds virussy. Are you able to boot up in safe mode to run a virus check? \n\n(Hit F8 repeatedly during the boot to get the boot menu, and choose safe mode)

Try starting it in safe mode (hit F8 while it is booting).  If it starts in safe mode and does not freeze then you obviously have a software problem.  Try using mscong to stop a few things in your start-up, beginning with your anti-virus program.  Keep track of what you turned off and back on and you will eventually hit the problem program.

try to boot it from safe mode and system scan

go to start > run and type msconfig and hit enter. Go to boot.ini and tick safeboot and then ok. Restart and your computer will be in safe mode. \n\nOnce in safe mode run your antispyware and antivirus scans and delete the malware.\n\nNow to  go back to normal mode again do the same as above, this time uncheck safeboot and then ok and then restart.

First try going to safe mode then shut down and restart. While in safe mode scan for virus and spyware. Next try a system restore.\nIf that doesn't work go to the website below to look for a restore disc.

Just restart your computer and hit F8 repeatedly until you get a windows menu.  That menu should give you an option to boot up in safe mode.

1. You need more RAM, definitely. No other solution\n2. Before after pressing the power button and before windows starts loading, keep pressing F8 repeatedly. When the menu comes up, select Safe Mode, and press enter. The if you cant find the solution, you can atleast copy the files and stuff and the format it

-EDITED-\nif the instructions to start safemode the alternate way do not work, download hijack this from download.com. but i'd recommend trying the safe mode instructions first.\n\nsafe mode should work\n\nIf Windows XP is the only operating system installed on your computer, booting into Safe Mode with these instructions.\n\nTo use the System Configuration Utility method \n\nClose all open programs. \nClick Start, Run and type MSCONFIG in the box and click OK \nThe System Configuration Utility appears, On the BOOT.INI tab, Check the "/SAFEBOOT" option, and then click OK and Restart your computer when prompted. \nThe computer restarts in Safe mode. \nPerform the troubleshooting steps for which you are using Safe Mode. \nWhen you are finished with troubleshooting in Safe mode, open MSCONFIG again, on the BOOT.INI tab,  uncheck "/SAFEBOOT" and click OK to restart your computer

Yes sounds like a corrupt file making it restart and then boot into safe mode. Try reinstalling and when you get the to part that says there is already a xp installation on the disk, select repair option, this will reinstall all the system files, and hopefully fix your problem. \n\nLast resort option --do a reinstall and make the settings _ leave current os system intact and then when choosing windows folder name it windows2 and it will be a fresh copy of XP on your computer but if you go to C:&#92;Documents and settings&#92; you should see your old user account, all your My documents and desktop files are there, just everthing has to be reinstalled - use this option as a last resort.

i would just try going to safe mode by pressing F8 before windows xp boot and see if the icons on the desktop comes up, if not i would put the windows xp cd back in and repair the windows.

Which OS?  If you are running XP can you get into safe mode?  Press F8 right after start up and select safe mode.  If you are able to run in safe mode there is something starting when XP is running in standard mode.  If that is the case I would try a system restore if you have had that enabled.  While in safe mode from the start menu click programs, accessories, system tools, system restore.  Select a date before the problem started.  Good Luck
