When you boot into safe mode, can you have a look in the event viewer?

If safe mode works, then it is more than likely an issue with drivers that are on the machine, as from what I can gather, that is one of the few things this is loaded at the time of the splash screen. It may be worth removing any non-crucial pieces of hardware to see if that resolves the issue.

Hi there:<br />
<br />
I have an AMD 768 MB RAM and 60GB HD. I have a partition<br />
with XP Pro with SP2 and Mandrake Linux<br />
<br />
From time to time when I turn on the PC it freezes<br />
at the main Windows XP logo screen. <br />
<br />
I tried rebooting getting the safe mode, normal start, last known configurations options<br />
in the screen but the only option that works is safe mode, none of the 2 others work.<br />
<br />
I tried:<br />
Windows restore and nothing, <br />
rebooting serveral times and nothing<br />
cold booting and nothing!<br />
<br />
the only solution I have that works is to put the Win XP cd and do a repair<br />
which takes and hour and is anoying, anyone know what could be the problem<br />
and the solution to this?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

XP Hangs At Splash Screen

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.

Microsoft Legacy OS

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
