use safe boot (f4) when booting up the disable all the programs the start up, then one by one turn them on you should find the program thats giving you grief.

If you have Windows, do this  Start -> Run -> type in msconfig press ok\n\nIn this command go to startup and all the boxes that are checked, uncheck all the ones you DONT need when you start the PC up, all these programs run when you start the PC and take up processor power.  Just be careful, if it is a Microsoft one, or a System32 one dont uncheck it, the system needs those to run.

Look int that spot by the clock, are there a bunch of icons before the time?  These are programs that also start up when the computer starts.  Adjust them not to start up at "startup".  You can also check in your startup menu. "start>all programs>startup" These also startup when the computer turns on.  Also defrag may help.

I did it with a restart in DOS mode or a force delete with some programs. Just make sure that there is no program that run it at that moment.

Assuming Windows XP....\nStart button / Run / type in "msconfig" (without the quotes)\nGo to the Startup tab of the window that opens\nUncheck anything that you do not want to start when the computer is turned on. (If you change your mind, you can come back and recheck them)

sounds like you need to compleatly redo you computer. use the startup diskes that came with your computer. or get a new computer

maybe you have other programs that run behind it when you start the computer. Some programs are automatically on when you start the computer and some of them you don't need it to be turn on at the start-up.\n\nTo find out what's on, go to search, type msconfig. On the startup tap you could unchecked the programs that you don't need to be turn on when you start the computer.\n\nYou could also do disk cleanup or defragment to cleanup your computer. Go to start> accessories> system tools

Some startup application or service is likely causing your computer to not finish starting Windows.\n\nRestart the computer and press F8 until the startup screen appears (before Windows ever loads).  Choose the "Save mode with networking" option.  If you get into Windows, click Start, Run, and type "msconfig".\n\nGo to the Startup tab and uncheck everything in there.  Click "OK".\n\nRestart your computer and it should start right up normally.  After you are in, go back into "msconfig" (described above) and, starting at the top, check off a couple of items.  Then click OK and reboot again.\n\nRepeat this until it doesn't start normally.  Then whatever you checked last will be the culprit.  Either uninstall that app, reinstall it, or leave it unchecked in msconfig.

Should start automatically but if you know when it stopped doing it roughly then you could do a system restore to a point just before you had problems.

Run msconfig and see if it is in the startup. If so you can tell it not to run.  If it is not there then scan the regustry (regedit - find).  this is more dangerous as you can trash your system if you delete the wrong thing.

try re-booting the system.

restart and start tapping the 'F8' key. You will be asked what kind of startup you want to do. select "Last known working configuration" or something like that. If it reboots to safe mode again, you got bigger problems.

I would have to agree that your either have a virus and/or you have a very serious spyware or trojan that is keeping your computer busy. Run Spybot, Adaware, or other spyware programs if you can. Also Winpatrol and other programs can tell you what starts up when windows boots up. Ctrl +Alt + delete at the same time can bring up Task Manager. This will tell you what processes are running and how much CPU it is using. Maybe you could end those processes that are going crazy. It may be hard to run anti-virus and anti-spyware when it is too busy with the problem. TrendMicro has a free scanner. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
