Eversince I built my pc i've had this issue. It locks up at the windows loading bar screen. So the first time I turn it on it always locks up on the same spot. When I press the reset button it'll boot just fine. I've done whatever I can to get it not to lock up. But had no luck yet. My system is not overclocked, everything is in auto exept for a few things. I set my ram timings manually to DDR2 800 and voltage to 2.5. My ram is rated for 2.2v but in the Asus bios it goes from 2.15 to 2.25. I've tried lower but it doesn't do anything. Also I disabled the PEG Link mode since my video card is already factory overclocked and this feature pushes my card more. This got me where I am now, I'm able to get to windows after resetting. I ordered a new power supply, a CORSAIR 620HX just in case is my psu. Can you guys help me, I don't know what else to do.

ps. I did reinstall windows vista in the past and switched my ram. I have the latest bios, video card drivers, ran memtest, my temps are low.......

seems to be a hard drive issue. can you put your HDD in another system and see if the problem reproduces
