If its hanging it could be a number of issues. Mostly likely memory, or heatsink unsecure/applied incorrectly.

On the other hand, it could be an improperly installed device, such as a harddrive, or sound card. It could be a number of things, just start at the top of the list and work your way down.

Make sure you have a good PSU, and also make sure you CPU and memory is set correctly. Also make sure the jumper on the motherboard is set to normal. Sometimes companies forget to put it on normal.
