Windows xp freeze during startup

No errors. Used Seagate to check HD for errors. No Errors. Checked Power, Temp etc All tests came back OK. Thought maybe XP was just corrupt with a virus or something. Freeze again during install when XP rebooted. Updated mobo BIOS. Still freezes. Could read HD fine. What is going on here? Could it be the video card? Nvidia Gforce Tested OK. Removed battery to reset CMOS. Check cables and hardware settings in BIOS. Everything looks ok.

Went through many posts on several sites. People are replacing mobos, memory, hds, power supplies. Finally, after several days of troubleshooting, I see a couple posts with similiar issues. One guy replaced drive cables, and this worked for him. One guy disable DVD drive and that worked for him. But the other was BAD! Not sure if it was because the drive was secondary master or just gone.

So check these things before buying all new hardware. I just removed the firewire cable and its working fine now. We're a friendly, industry-focused community of developers, IT pros, digital marketers, and technology enthusiasts meeting, learning, and sharing knowledge.

In reply to mposello's post on June 25, Hi, Does it normally only freeze on this one screen? In reply to ClickStartComp's post on June 25, Hi, It always freezes on this screen. I have checked the event log and have found errors there are 8 errors in a row the first starting with "DCOM got error this service cannot be started in Safe Mode ' attempting to start the service EventSystem with arguments'"' in order to run the server.

I have not installed anything new to my computer to cause these errors. In reply to mposello's post on June 26, Hi, Have you tried removing the game to see if it clears up the issue? This site in other languages x.
