XP pro freezes in one to three minutes after I reboot with no applications running.
Num Lock light will go off and on with toggle. Hard drive light is active for a couple of minutes but then goes to a steady blink-the cursor will not activate anything and eventually I get an hourglass that never goes away until I reboot.
Does not freeze in Safe Mode
I have defragged and run memtest--OK
Was able to nurse it through Norton update and a current scan--found no viruses.
Once I got the virus scan going it did a complete scan-5-10 minutes and did not freeze??
BOXX computer with Dual XEON 3.06 with 4 GB ram (ram from BOXX) Nvidia Quadro FX 1000 128MB graphics card with 2 73GB 10000 rpm scsi drives XP Pro.
The unit is under warranty, and the manufacturer is sending me 2 new drives (one with new OS installed). However, I somehow do not believe the drives are the problem and I may lose all of my programs and data for nothing.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.
