Hey guys

 

I currently have Windows XP Home Edition and use a Dell Dimension 5150.

 

At the moment i have an administrators account and a guest account which

both crop up at start up for you to choose which one you want.

 

However sometimes when i switch my pc on it gets stuck on 'starting up...' ,

never actually reaching the login phase. However if i restart my PC during

this time, my PC will boot up as normal. It is temperamental, however i don't

really like restarting my PC like this as i'm scared it'll get damaged.

 

Was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to fix this or ways i could

figure out what was wrong?

 

Thanks

Open My Computer, rightclick the system drive icon(usually C:) then

Properties, Tools tab, and use "Error Checking" to correct problems on the

drive. (then restart)
