    Much better.....

    The computer has still been freezing when "re-booting". It freezes on the screen that looks like this:

    Top right hand corner- F2=setup, F12= boot menu
    Center- DELL, www.dell.com
    Bottom center- Dimension E521, BIOS revision 1.1.4


    On a happy note, once the computer does boot, (sometimes takes 2-3 tries), everything is working great. Once booted, the computer has not froze up on me yet.

    I have seen this freeze at POST (by the way, nothing to do with Windows)
    Due to Hard Drive or CD/DVD Drive (or data cabling to them) hardware issue
    I suspect Hard Drive

    Everything is running great once I get it to boot.
    It still freezes while booting sometimes. Any ideas?
