Pls Help- Sometimes my XP starts perfectly & sometimes it freezes



Out of the blue it started with the problem, xp wanted to install a
fax, and if I closed those windows then i could continue working with
my computer. It got worse and I managed to salve my data and finally I
gave it the file that xp was requesting Fax.cab I believe (got it from
hp printer sotware) and then we got to a new dimension of problem: it
would freeze after several minutes into the booting problem. I figured
a software problem so as I had my data saved i did a recovery of my
computer which basically formats the HD and downloads the original
software. Didn'd work, did it again, rebooted a few times and finally
it worked. Rebboted it a few more times and worked fine. Thought I had
beaten the problem but after I downloaded some of my data the problem
persisted. Next day I did another recovery using again the original
recovery disks to rule out my data and the problem exists. Basically,
if the process finishes the booting process it works perfectly. Most
of the time 90% it freezes.
I can start it it safe mode but don't now what else to do. Right now
it is working like a charm ... until I restart it again. Anyone can
assist?? Robert
