Not sure if this is the right place for this, but if not can someone move it for me?:D When i startup my computer, it freezes. It has only done it the two times I started it today, but I am a tad worried. All I do is hit the reset button and it boots up fine. All my system specs are in my signature. Any help is very much appreciated!

I find startup freezes to almost always be related to a memory problem. You can try pulling memory cards and seeing if the problem exists with each one individually. Sometimes it's a video card or a PCI card as well. Try reseating your memory and your other cards in the system. If that doesn't work then well it could be anything software, hardware, etc..

Thanks I will try those things. If that doesn't work, is there anything I can try to help narrow the search down?

Unfortunately my experience with Windows is fairly limited so further information form one of the far more experienced members of this forum would be appreciated in further diagnostic beyond my suggestions I have madd already.
