Every single time i turn my computer on it freezes wihtin the first 5 minutes... as soon as i restart it it works perfect... once i turn it off for about an hour or so if i tiurn it on again i have to repeat the process... ive tried reformating 2-3 times... nothing seems to work... everything has been replaced except for the CPU... could that possibly be the problem?

If you have Windows XP,press F8 after rebooting the PC should Windows freeze while booting up.

You can select "Last Known Good Configuration"after rebooting to allow the computer to boot the

last backed up files And you can choose "Safe Mode" to remove any files you know caused the

operating system to hang up.
