XP freezing at windows start-up

Every morning, when I start-up my PC, my computer freezes up while XP is loading. It happens during the "Windows Sound" and the only way to reboot it, is to pull the plug. This is also present after a system restore. After I pull the plug and re-boot, it will start fine, and will start throughout the day. It seems to have a problem when it has been off for an extended period of time.
