Begin troubleshooting your startup programs and srevices, then troubleshoot
hardware problems.

Start by checking the Event Viewer for error messages.
Click Start | All Programs | Administrative | Event Viewer
You can copy error messages to the clipbook, by double-clicking the error
then clicking the copy button that looks like 2 sheets of paper.
Post them here and someone will try and help you understand and fix them.


To troubleshoot Startup items, click Start | Run | msconfig.exe click OK
Click the Startup tab.
Remove all check marks and reboot and try to cause the lockup.
If the lockup no longer happens, run msconfig.exe and place a check by ONLY
1 item
and reboot.
Repeat the above, reactivating one item at a time until the crash occures,
then suspect and seek
help with the last item reactivated.

If after trying the above you need to continue and troubleshoot hardware,
i'll post suggestions on doing so then.
