at what stage does it freeze?
RE: help (need to restart 3 times) by special_edition200 on 01-28-2008 at 09:30 PM
some times before every thing loads up and some time about 10 mins after restarting

Well, based on your other thread, "dvds", i'd say its safe to say you likely have some form of Malware (Virus/Spyware/Adware) from downloading illegal content or attempting to. Which AntiVirus software are you using? Also, if you tried to reinstall Windows with a fresh install, it would've removed everything thereby removing the bottleneck.

If you've formatted and reinstalled windows(properly) then it seems to me it could only be a hardware issue. That or you downloaded the same virus twice

Could have issues with something else in your system... Try taking it back out to confirm
