On occasion, my PC freezes during startup when I turn it on. There does not appear to be any pattern. Scandisk says it finds no problem. How should I start to find the problem.

thanks,

Are you running mcafee or norton antivirus?

No, I'm not using any antivirus software.

thanks,

Thats where you start...GET a good AV -not Mcafee- Nortons or PC-cillin...till then you can go to...www.antivirus.com and use the free tools...this doesnt replace a AV program on the system but it will help. Also go to www.lavasoft.com and down load adaware....let it delete everything it finds as spyware...

This is just basic computer maintiance...might/might not solve your problem!!

Now is there a time frame that the lock ups started happening?? Did you do any updates, add any software or hardware...Can you reinstall the OS??

see if any of this helps
