Re: os freezes at xp logo screen

This may or may not be your problem, but this is what happens sometimes when you try to install Windows on an overclocked system. Make sure you are running at the processor's default speed and that your memory timings are not too tight (or set to fast). This ensures a smooth installation of the OS and then you can OC after the system is set up.
