One more random computer problem... I had GTA San Andreas going on my computer, and i beleive it froze and i restarted it, but then while it was restarting, it froze in the boot scene with the little XP Pro sign and the dots going accross the screen. Now this is all it does, and I dunno what to do. I figure its probably something simple, like something just came unplugged or something, but I've checked and found nothing so I don't know. Any one had this problem before?

sounds like some boot files are corrupt. boot it in safe mode with logging. it will probably freeze on one of the drivers loading. come back and write the name of the file it stops at, maybe someone will know a fix for it. whenever it has happened to me, it is usually due to a sudden power loss and i have always had to do a repair install to fix it.
