Hello,

My issue is with XP freezing on me with no provocation. I just start my
computer and within 5 minutes no matter what I do it freezes on me.
I've tried system restore to no avail. It works fine in safe mode
(which is how I was able to use system restore.) I am using Service
pack 2 with I believe the latest updates. I have gone through and
removed any programs I thought may be the cause, but this also did
nothing.

I'd love to just fix this with a few simple steps, but if it goes
beyond that is there a way to reinstall windows while leaving data
intact? (i.e. replace all windows files, but leave folders like My
Documents alone.)

.
