Computer locks up during boot

My computer locks up when I boot it up right before the window welcome screen or during it. The only way I can boot up the computer is if I tap F8 and hit Last Known Good Configuration. This has been going on for more than a week. I tried to do a repair intallation but this did not help. Does anyone have any ideas what I can try to do and can I keep booting the computer this way indefinately (last known configuration).
