Sometimes when I start my computer, the computer will be freeze before I can enter windows. It'll freeze after bios. After reset, it'll show option to enter the safe mode. It happens since I first bought it 5 years ago.

Are all the drivers on your mobo and video card ect.. up to date.Sometimes when a computer gives you the option to enter Safe Mode it is because one or more of the system drivers did not load on start up.Make sure your version of windows is current also.Check to see that all your onboard Cards eg: video,sound,modem are all tightly installed in there slots and your memory is seated correctly also.check your cables and connections an all your devices,And if this does not work reboot and enter setup in the bios and pick your either Failsafe or Optimal settings and save,reboot and see if this corrects your problem,Also make sure that your bios is up to date by going to your motherboard manufacturer's web site and check on any bios upgrades for that particular board and bios.good luck and i hope you get your problem fixed,Kingfish
