Re: WinXP freezing, hanging up.........

Disconnect all peripherals except keyboard, mouse and monitor. Try Last
Known Good Configuration.

Did your sister provide you with a Windows XP CD? What model Gateway?

on startup. my sister sent me her Gateway computer, it worked find
for a couple of days then earlier this week while I was on the net it
just froze up on me, I couldn't use the mouse or anything else. so I
rebooted and it froze and continues to freeze up after. every now
and then I can get as far as the user account icon.

I'm running WinXP as it says in the Topic title. I have tried to boot
from the WinXP installation cd and that hangs up too and it gets to
the Windows Setup screen when it is loading files. I have also tried
another hard drive with the same results. it also will not boot in
the safe mode either.

does anyone have any ideas. if you need more info please let me know
