XP Pro Hangs on restart but not on cold boot

[Guest]

Windows XP hangs just before the logon screen when restarting. It sits with
the mouse cursor visible, the cursor moves but no progress from there. The
problem does not occur when starting after a complete shut down or restarting
in safe mode.

The system does restart if all PCI cards are removed, however no single PCI
card/slot appears to be the offender. The latest BIOS installed, and it works
fine under Win2K SP3. The same fault occurs under both a new XP Pro SP1 or
SP2 install. I have turned off msconfig startup options but still no good.

It will happily run Win2K up to SP3, but SP4 completely fails to install. I
doubt it is a hardware fault, it must be some kind of incompatability.

Intel P4 1.9GHz, Gigabyte GA-8ITXR v1.1 motherboard, 512MB RDRAM, Winfast
Titanium AGP video, new 300W power supply.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Dave W

This may not help, but make sure you have installed the newest drivers for
all the devices in your system, especially motherboard and PCI cards.
