For some strange reason I cannot restart my computer normally.

 

I can shut down, and power up again fine, but when i try to "restart", windows XP shuts down, then the HP blue screan comes up and freezes. Any suggestions?

Try MSCONFIG the Run prompt and do a selective startup. But when I have issues like that I've had to reformate.

Put everything important to you on CD before reformatting.

I would have suggested a system backtrack to a couple of days before the problem started.

Yeah, I have a similar problem. I get this blue screen that freezes and tells me that some hardware is messing up my computer. I've been told to reformat, but I don't want to do that, and it's really not that big of a problem. Oh well...

Ahh now that this is back up I guess I can explain what happened.

 

I have one of those nifty mice without the little ball. Well it came with an adapter so I could plug it into the regular mouse input on the comp, but for some stupid reason I took that adapter off and plugged the mouse into the USB port instead...which caused the problem. All I did was put the adapter back on and put it back into the normal mouse port and all was well again.
