I have Win XP SP3 with full updates.
Now if I restart windows it will start until a moment that it stops. Stays
with black screen and cursor but doesn't go from there. Ctrl + Alt + Del does
not work. I have so press reset. Then it starts well.
If I shut it down, the same ploblem. If I hybernate is the same. The only
way to start windows is by pressing reset button.
Tried to disconect all USB; change power supply; disconect two of the three
HD... nothing changes. The only way is by leting it start until it stops and
then press reset.
HELP.......

The one on the CPU, just beside the power on button. The hard reset button

Two things you should do:

1 - Boot into safe mode with boot logging on. When the machine boots up
normally copy the ntbtlog.txt file from the root folder to another location
and rename it so that you know it is a complete boot.

2 - Boot again, with boot logging to catch the failed boot (how ever you
accomplish this). Immediately boot from a CD like Bart PE then find the
ntbtlog.txt on your hard drive. Copy to different location renaming again.

3 - Attempt to find the differences in the logs.

That should help narrow things down a bit. It is most likely a driver that
hasn't timed out allowing control to be passed back to the OS.

How about IBM XT, IBM AT and many, many computers in the
beginning of Personal Computers (till WindowsXP?)?
(usually a small button)

All my computers, work and home have been IBM. Home computers since Win 95
and NONE ever had a reset button.
I'm quite sure OP is not using an XT or AT------they're too old.

Yes, IBM seemed to be one vendor that never put a hardware reset button
on the case. FWIW, recent Dells don't either.

button.

Then yours is the very unusual situation. Every desktop computer I've
ever owned (three at the moment, and another 8-10 over the years), and
every one I've seen (with the exception of IBMs) have had reset
buttons.
