Comment: I have a Dell Laptop with a 10 gig hard drive...everytime I boot up the computer works for about twenty seconds and then locks up as though it is continously thinking. I have ran scan disk on it about a dozen times....each time it finds an error. Any suggestions, besides throwing it out.

Reply: (edit)Have you run a Surface Scan in Scandisk? If so, did it find any bad clusters? If it did, then it probably is failing... -Burbble

Reply: (edit)Too many crosslinked files....
Conflict in the registry, especially involving the display card, lancard and sound card. Try to go through save mode and troubleshoot the things I just mentioned.
