Windows hangs (a7v133)

[toni33]

Hi!, sometimes when I turn on my system , while windows is almost loaded (I can see the desktop), my system hangs and I don´t know why!!. I thought that it may be a problem with the ide hdd driver(provided in via 4 in 1) but it isn´t.
Do you know why it happen?
a7v133 Duron 800@800
generic 128 Mb (133)
Voodoo 3 2000
Sound blaster 128 pci
hdd 3,2 gb seagate & 850 mb (raid)
avermedia tv capture 98
can it occur by the via bug (686b southbridge)?

Can you hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and see any modules that are "not responding" ? This is a common place for Windows to hang if your password files are corrupted, and the module usually showing as hung is "Mprexe". If this turns out to be the case, boot in Safe Mode and delete all files ending in .PWL. You will have to re-enter your Windows networking passwords next time each user logs on though.

If some other module shows as not responding, look at re-installing the program that owns it, or preventing it from loading on startup.

When windows hangs, I can´t press any key because it doesn´t response. and if I press ctrl+alt+sup the almost part of the screen gets black, but I can see the task bar. If I try another time to press crtl+alt+sup, it doesn´t restart and I have to unplug the power cord.
It doesn´t displays any warning or error message...what can I do?
