XP Crashing on startup - Microsoft reps. please help

I have Googled endlessly, no luck.
XP SP1, DirectX 9.0c.
P4 2.8 800mhz, 1 gig of ram (Dell Machine)
NO HARDWARE CHANGES
Items in task bar: Zone Alarm, Spy Doctor and Speaker (thats it, nothing
else)
In msconfig, I have only 6 things checked.
Whats happening is is that out of 10 restarts, 8 of them will crash. Desktop
comes up, items on the desktop, I have full mouse movement but after
clicking something, the item "highlights" then the system hangs up, still
have mouse movement but its locked up. CTRL-ALT-DELETE wont even bring up
the Task Manager when this happens, I'm then forced to manually power the
system down. I may have to do this 3-4 times before I'm successfull (as in
now as I type :) )
The system is virus free, I use Spydoctor and Symntec religiously, last scan
last night showed no viruses of any kind.
I even went to msconfig and unchecked the roughly 6 items there, rebooted
and its still hanging up.
I know people from MS help around some forums, I hope I've found the right
one.
Thank you!
