Guest gnawe Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Hi, I am trying to figure a problem on start up of windows. When I boot up after o'night close of system next day my sysytems locks up half way through windows boot, if I then switch off and reboot it works fine from then on and allows reboot all day. Next day after overnight close, boot up freezes again half way through ? Anybody any ideas whats wrong and what I can do to fix. Thanks Note I have already done a complete system xp re install has no effect still same problem. Do not have xp home cds as system came with already installed.

Get immediately into the BIOS setup instead of launching Windows. 3. Leave it there for five minutes. 4. Reboot normally. If this solves the problem consistently then it is likely that one of the motherboard components needs to warm up before it works properly. A hardware group would be a good place to seek further advice.
