Computer does not boot. Hangs on giveio.sys

I recently moved a computer from one room to another and then it would not boot. It does not boot to ANY mode, be it safe mode (with or without networking or cmd), normally, or last good know config. It just starts to boot then restarts. Before I moved the computer it was working fine. I just turned it off like normal (start > shutdown). After the computer was off I unplugged everything, moved it to the new room, plugged everything back in and then it would not boot.

When I try to start in safe mode, the computer hangs in file giveio.sys for about 5 seconds then restarts and keeps on going on this cycle non stop.

I need to get this computer working ASAP so your help is greatly appreciated.

Computer specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 @ 6400+
2GB Corsair RAM
2X nVidia GeForce 7600 GT (SLI Config)
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
Maxtor 300GB HDD
2X Samsung DVD writers.

I unplugged everything a put it back in and it worked now so I guess that something was lose? I still dont see why it would hang on that file, but meh, glad it worked.

Thanks rindi
Your welcome. Often when it hangs on a file, that is caused by a memory problem. It can get easily dislodged when moving a system.
