win xp freezes after boot
 

my pc freezes after booting up...i can't do anything for some 45-60 seconds then everything works fine...any solutions?

format c

clear your prefetch folder.

do you have 50 gazillion start up programs?

no...just 1....internet connection

you can try bootvis: free tool for windows looks how long start processes takes

thats microsoft for ya :1orglaugh

did you just installed SP2? there are several documented reports of such problems after applying the patch.

Remove HD, uninstall, install w2k!:thumbsup :thumbsup

run diskeeper
run spysweeper
run nav

start it on safe mode to see if it boots. and stays stable. i think you are having a hardware problem check your NIC and other periferals. unplug them all and try it if it is stable then plug 1 x 1 untill it freezes again.


bad NIC or printers or power cables tend to freeze up pc.

go to Start/Run and type mscongig and click ok. In the new screen that opens click the Startup tab and check what you have that boots up with windows. A lot of the shit in the is useless and will just slow shit down.
