I put together a computer and while I have some I dont have much of knowledge on computer hardware.... anyways I need help in figuring out why windows wont start... for a while the computer froze during the windows startup screen (where the blue bar scrolls from left to right)....this has been happening for quite some time now and my solution before was restart.... and if i get lucky it'll go through and it's fine from then on... however if i unplug the power and plug it back in it'll start freezing again and i would have to restart several times before finally getting through... I have no idea what the problem is PLEASE HELP ANYONE!

If anyone needs it my set up is:
ECS 755-A2 board
AMD 64 3000+
1x512mb Kingston
1x512mb Mushkin
GeForce 4 <--- dunno which model exactly...could find out..
1x300gb UATA Seagate

That's about it....I'm a noob so anyone kind enough to offer a hand will be greatly appreciated...
 
Your RAM might be causing trouble. Bad idea mixing brands. Try booting with only one stick.
 
There could be alot of problems. Next time you get into the OS, go to start, run, and type in eventvwr.msc

This will show a log of all the systems botches, and should give a pretty details explaination, or at least an idea, of why and how the system locked up.

Also, try booting into safemode to see if taht works. If it does, it's simply a matter of viewing the even log and seeing what has been causing the error.

These suggestions may not work, but it'll help to shed some light on a situation that otherwise is very hard to diagnose.
