Hi to all sifus out there,

I discover this problem on Friday (29-Feb-2008) after I click on the Internet Explorer. The keyboard & mouse doesn't seem to have any response at all.

I restart the PC, then click on my user name to login. When finish loading, I want to open My Computer to do some work. I just move my mouse & click once on the My Computer, the whole PC hang again [same goes for the keyboard & mouse].

I start the PC in safe mode to check for any problem, found nothing wrong with the PC.

Now, the problem become worse. Whenever I click on the Start button, the whole PC just freeze.

I even try to start the PC [in safe mode, with Enable Boot Logging], but it hang, after a few moments I click my user name.

Right now, I can't even use my PC at all. And if I want to restart my PC, i have to press the restart switch manually.

My specs are as follow:

AMD Athlon XP 2400+
DFI AD77 Infinity
HDD - Seagate 80GB
Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP 8x
Norton Anti-virus 2004 Professional
Windows XP Professional SP 2
Zone Alarm ver 7.0.462.000

Any more info that you need, pls let me know.
