Rep Power: 5   |  Comp having hanging problems.... Hey all... so my friend has a comp which is now constantly having hanging problems, most of the times it hangs on the blue progress bar of xp, and does not go anywhere from there. Even if it does manage to get to the desktop it hangs there... and since he doesn't know even a bit of computer hardware let alone software; all his problems are mine :16: whats happenin is when it hangs, the hdd light stays on constantly. I'm guessing that this a hdd problem and not the ram? What are ur views and experiences? Its a p3  , running on pc133 memory...i'm having a headache now  it just constantly gives him troubles and he in turn to me  ...

Rep Power: 10  | Try booting it in safe mode(repeatedly Press F8 at startup) and feedback if it does log onto desktop... from there u can run an antivirus to make sure that its not a virus problem... after making sure that its not a virus problem... restore the system to the chkpoint(if therez any) where it was working properly...

Rep Power: 10 | Try repairing the installation by a Win XP cd... If data loss isn't the concern clean format it and reinstall... |

Rep Power: 3  | in such cases always remember to specify the processor, mobo and ram. neway, if the prob is not frm hardwares, a clean install of xp svc pack 2 will do the trick.do a full format of the current sys drive first.then install xp. if problem persists, then either the mobo is damaged or hdd got corrupt.call a professional to have a look.have a good day. |
