[FONT=verdana]Hello,[/FONT]

[FONT=verdana]my computer freezes after desktop appears and it shows 'Found New Hardware' wizard.[/FONT]

[FONT=verdana]previously, my computer used to restart itself after showing "Start Windows Normally Start using Network Command Prompt Start using Last Known Configuration". For this, I inserted windows xp cd, went to Recovery Console and typed 'chkdsk c: /p /r'. After doing this, pc stopped restarting and this found new hardware problem has appeared. PLEASE HELP!

[FONT=verdana]Thank you.[/FONT]

What hardware has it found? That could be a clue as to what's causing the problem. You may possibly have contracted a virus, so try a complete virus scan. It sounds like Windows is corrupted so start thinking about a clean install of XP .
