Freezes At Windows Xp Splash Screen!!
I have a outdated gatway with no warrenty. WHen i hit the power button gateway screen loads than it goes to the loading windows xp screen than it freezes.
But before it freezes i notice the mouse and keyboard goes out first than loading bar freezes and nothing else after that
I have already tried to put in the windows xp disk but it freezes when it starts windows.I have also tried to get it to go into safemode but no luck.
I have unplug the c drive and tried to installs windows on D drive but it will freezes on start up. before it installs the windows drivers n etc.
What could my problems be?
Thanks for any help ahead of time =]

okay i have tried this and i didnt get no errors? so i rebooted n still same problem. anything else?
not dirty at all i clean it out once a month..the fans . etc
I also thought bad RAM like Thrax suggested. How were you able to test it? In another PC? If you tested it in another PC and it seems fine try putting it into a different slot on your motherboard. Sometimes memory slots die. I fixed a system by doing that about 3 months ago. It still means the board is bad if this is the case.
So: Power Supply, RAM slot, IDE controller
check those.
ok thanks i will give those a try tonight and see what i come up with..cause i know i had to move the ram to another slot a couple months ago...and it work fine. but i move them lastnight n it still giving me what i got..only one bad ram slot out of 4.. i tested with the test that thrax suggested..
but im goin to try the power supply and ide controller..
thanks again for ur help
