Windows xp freezing on startup
Last response: in Components
Hello,
Im using windows xp sp3..and past 2 - 3 weeks my pc started freezing once or twice a day untill yesterday. It was freezing in every 2minutes sometimes on the win xp loading screen or on the startup....so please help..cant get over it.
This is what i have tried overcoming this problem but still didnt help: Restored computer to an earlier time
Cleaned the pc.. cpu and gpu temperature is around 50c
And have around 30%free space in c drive where windows is installed....

Hello Maanas
try this:
Boot into safe mode with command prompt (push F8 on startup and select the option)
Type "chkdsk /r" into the black command prompt box when it come up.
It will likely tell you that a reboot is required to run the scan, the command for that is "shutdown /r /t 0".
this will perform a full disk check and find and fix the vast majority of errors, keep us posted with any updates!
