My computer will freeze after start up within a minute of the boot up finishing. I have to restart the computer and it sometimes freezes on boot up or after boot up. After 2 - 4 times of this happening, my comp boots and runs fine.
I've run in safe mode and it still freezes.
Startup repair did nothing.
I can't do error checking to my 160 GB WD HDD because last time I did that, when the countdown to error checking would start, the computer would freeze up at 1 second and the keyboard wouldn't work so I would not be able to stop it, so I had to reinstall Windows.
I've tried switching cables.
I've updated the BIOS for my MOBO
Installed all drivers to date
Ran a virus scan
Not really sure if this is a hard drive problem or a motherboard problem or something else. Not a windows problem because I've reinstalled it twice now. What's going on?
