Try starting in safe mode (press F8 as Windows starts) you may be able to troubleshoot from there.

tryed that , most of the time it freezes up before it get out of the Dell stat up screen . if it sites for a half hour then it mite start to load windows but then it freezes up . it seem like it gets hot .

Run both memtest and a hard disk diagnostic in order to see if your memory or your hard disk are causing the problem. You can find both on the Ultimate Boot CD.

Can you get into the bios and check the temps?

can i do that in setup. sometimes i can get that far before it freezes up
