1) Boot to Windows, go to C:\Windows\temp and clear at tmp files.
2) Clear all yr internet history, cookies and delete tempory files.
3) What is yr memory size?
4) What software did u install lately?
5) Check on yr resource see if anything is running on windows background.

Time to scan…

Battlecrusier SG

my RAM is 256. now the problem is i cannot go in to windows. i reformat it but the results still the same

Sounds like a good scanning is in order. On another note, 256 ram is really lacking.

you mean your computer can't load windows?
Confused

256MB? U running XP or 2K or ME or 98? If XP, PLEASE upgrade memory to at least 512MB. 256 maybe the mininium requirement but in fact 256 on XP totally cannot makeup.

If you're run XP
1) Boot to Safe mode by pressing F8, log in, right click mouse at my computer and click on propertise. Go to Advanced, Settings on Performance, at visual effects, select Best Performance. This will disable the shadow, shade and etc and uses lesser memory.

2)Go to Run, type msconfig, at startup, disable software u don't really need.
EX: MSN,ICQ,IRC,etc. But take any files that's in C:\Windows which Windows need to run, dun disable it! Tis will speed up yr startup for Windows.

How can reformat not solve the problem? Did you do it correctly? Are you sure you are using the XP CD and not the recovery CD given by manufacturers?

64MB is the bare requirements for running XP.

128MB is snail crawling.

256MB is fast enough, though internet connections and protection stuffs can slow it down. Without internet connections and those protection, running XP with 256MB of RAM is real fast.

512MB is just so it runs smoothly, especially if you are some graphics designer and programmer. In fact, 512MB is the bare minimum for them. It will crash XP if you do those graphics-intensive stuffs or heavy programming, especially Java.

Buy a new CPU... Laughing

Told u to add in more ram. Of course yr hdd is ok cause you're booting from another hdd with Xp running fine. U have to boot from XP CD and do repair.

If you have formatted your hard drive and re-installed WIndows, and it still hangs on you, chances are high that it's a hardware issue:

>> failing Power Supply
>> Leaking capacitor on motherboard
>> bad or failing RAM module/s
>> large Bad Sector in hard disk
>> Failing or faulty AGP card or Integrated video chip
