System freezes on Boot Up

[Guest]

I was working on my machine yesterday and it froze so I rebooted, (am
running XP PRO Sp2), now when I tried to reboot, it would pass the bios test
and then start to load windows and then just freezes there. So I tried
loading in SAFE MODE, again it would load the drivers then freeze.

I have tried a repair installation with the same result, can anyone tell me
whether this problem is hardware or software related as I haven't installed
anything in regard to Hardware, prior to this the system was working just
fine, no hangs no nothing, and out of the blue this...

Any help will be appreciated,
thanks
zofo

Hi

Have you tried 'Last Known Good Configuration' - same screen as access to
Safe Mode?
