During a restore of WIn XP Pro SP2, the system freezes. It gets stuck on a win logo screen when rebooting.?

Hi, my system's spec. is...

CPU: Intel庐 Celeron庐 D Processor 330

(2.66GHz, 533MHz FSB, )

Chipset: Intel庐 845GV chipset

Memory: 512MB DDR

Hard Drive: 80GB HDD

Optical Drive: CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive

Video: Intel庐 Extreme Graphics integrated

Sound: AC '97 audio



The win XP freezes at the logo screen during the installation.

it went through Normal Format process and setup process and when it restarts for the first time, it gets stuck.

I did research and did everything that I found that might work but

I found that nothing works...

I tired changing boot order, reinstall with full format and with other OS cds...

But I never tried updating BIOS, if you think that that is the only solution, please advise me how I can do that...

One more thing.... my computer used to work just fine on WIN PRO SP1, but the OS that I am trying to install is WIN PRO SP2... does that matter? Peace!!During a restore of WIn XP Pro SP2, the system freezes. It gets stuck on a win logo screen when rebooting.?
Hmmmm.... Maybe you can try to do a systems restore in the safe mode. Restart the computer, and keep tapping F8. YOu will get a black screen where you can choose safe mode with the arrow keys. Then press enter key to load your computer in safe mode.

Then click Start-%26gt; all programs-%26gt; accessories -%26gt; systems tools-%26gt; system restore-%26gt; choose restore to an earlier date/time-%26gt; next -%26gt; you will get calendar choose the date on which your computer was working fine -%26gt; next-%26gt; next ..... it will restart your computer, then choose normal mode and then see whether its working or not.

Some part of the restore file is most likely corrupted. Try chosing a different restore point, from Safe Mode. Start -%26gt;run -%26gt;msconfig -%26gt; launch system restore. Try one at least a week prior to the one you just tried.
I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems.

Some RAM/hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful. Try this site, if you can get what is required.
