Hello Sam and welcome to PCHelpForum.

Reinstalling windows all the time is not the way.

Ok you reninstalled windows?Did you update all your drivers?XP only loads standard drivers to get you up and running.

When did you alst update your BIOS?Do you know if it is latest version?

Could you run CHKDSK on your main hard drive and any slave drive you may have installed.

Unplug any preferals like printers,scanners,external hard drives,anything that is not required for booting.Try a reboot and see if that gives you a quicker bootup.

When was the last time you cleeaned inside your computer?Are all fans spinning and is every cable connected fully inside?

Run this:Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

ive never updated the bios so it not the latest i only updated my VGA driver
i have this problem from the first day i got my PC so i didnt opened it .
can u tell me a bit about cables inside so i check them ?
i have never used memtest before but , ok ill run that

oops there are many dl link i dont know which one is better and how it works :S

Hi Sam,ok you would have to power off the computer and unplug from the power outlet.

Open up the computer and use a soft bure bristle brush not a manmade fiber one as these contain nylon wich is a conductor.Not good if some fibers get stuck on computer preferals.I need you to gently clean all fans and hardware.You can use a vacum,gently or compressed air to get rid of the dust.

While inside computer tower do not unplug anything,just gently make sure any cables are plugged in fully and not loose.

Run memtest the instructions are there on the link and let me know results.

Do this for CHKDSK:

1.
Double-click My Computer, and then right-click the local disk that you want to check.
2.
Click Properties, and then click Tools.
3.
Under Error-checking, click Check Now.
4.
Under Check disk options, select the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors check box.
5.
Click Start.



Let me know if any errors are found and if it fixes any that are found.

Hi jelly
i checked all local disk no error found . i cleaned dusts inside my pc and checked cables too but still it takes long time to load.
and i dont have floppy reader so i couldnt check memtest
