Hello, My computer is either freezing, blue screening or freezing then blue screening upon start-up. However. I can get into Safe Mode just fine. I am running windows xp (home edition I think...) on a dell inspiron 6400. I have gotten it to work occasionally (after approxamitely 20 failed start-ups) and once there I can simply use hibernate to avoid the issue. But, I forget about the problem eventually and turn it off and quickly realize that the problem is still there the next time I attempt to start it up. Any help?

hi,

this may be due to a virus.

go to safe mode, download an antivirus and install it.

run the antivirus to clean your computer and then try a system restore.

I'm having similar issue to the earlier post. Computer frooze so I restarted but it freezes on the window logo screen on startup. I followed your directions and tried to safe mode with newtork but all i got was a black screen with Safemode in all 4 corners and the pointer center screen which would still not move.

Any other ideas on what I can try? I was already running Norton but I'm guessing that didn't matter. Is it most likely this is a virus?
