Boot the computer into "Safe Mode".
To boot PC into Safe Mode follow these steps:
1. Turn the computer on or Restart the computer
2. Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Boot Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
3. Ensure that the Safe mode option is selected, not Repair Your Computer
4. Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
5. When you are finished with troubleshooting, close all programs and restart the computer as you normally would
If the computer boots into Safe Mode you can try disabling Startup Programs, one of these might be causing your computer to freeze. To do this follow these steps:
1 Press Start. Type msconfig into the search bar and press Enter. For XP, click on Run and type msconfig there.
Sorry I accidentally posted the unfinished set of instructions, here's the continuation
2. Go to Startup tab and uncheck all of the Startup Programs there.
3. Restart PC the normal way you restart it.
4. If the problem disappears, try enabling Startup Programs one by one to determine the cause of the issue.
However if the same issue exists even by disabling all Startup Programs, try booting into Safe Mode again and perform a System Restore. Restore Windows back into a date to when it was working. Check the link below for instructions.
