I just got my gaming Computer built and installed xp pro. When u log on, it freezes 10 mins later. I tried repair and fresh installation, But ditto. HELP

Try booting up in safe mode and turn off some of the programs that would run in the background on start-up.

Does the whole system just stall? Or is it just the cursor and keyboard accessibility that freeze (in which you can still see background activity on-screen)?

Please tell me the entire hardware configuration for your system. You'll need to do a process of elimination, however. Run Memtest86 on that computer first. You may have a bad stick of memory. Have you overclocked any components? Can't help ya until we know what you are running in that puter. If the memory is good then you'll need to boot that puter with only the hd, video and memory. If it freezes with a minimal hardare set up then you're down to the hd,video, psu and mobo at least. If all is well with the minmal boot start adding stuff till it freezes. capice?

what kind of cooling system you got going, if you got nothing installed, reformat and reinstall, itll probbaly fix it, thought if you got crappy cooling then it overheats anyways.

you should have at least 3 fans and CPU Fan/heatsink
