run your antivirus s/ware, see if that solves it. If not, whack yur Xp cd in to boot to, and repair yur current install, no data will be lost.

Look at the system processes in the task manager if there are processes going through the roof. Try to stop that process and see what it does.

svchost loads certain porgrams at start up. This exact same thing happend to me. To fix it i had to reformat the hard drive but after word when the system was working i found out the stick of 256mb ram i added to the orgional 128mb my computer came with when i upgraded to xp had died. This left the system with just enugh ram to run windows xp. It could be that some of your ram has also faild and thats why the system gets stuck. I would check to see how much ram the computer says you have.
