PC Hangs On Boot Up

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

My PC is hanging during the boot process. I can get past Windiws XP Logo,
then the screen goes blank and nothing else happens (usually go to the log on
screen).
I know it is a driver / hardware issue as the Automatic Error Reporting
tells me this, BUT, it doesn't tell me which driver or the hardware is
causing the problem.
I know it isn't the memory as I've checked this with the MS memory testing
tool.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Many thanks

I am going to try that, however, the problem doesn't happen every time!
