Partial boot, then freeze, please help!

Computer freezes on Win 98 boot

The computer was asleep, when I hit return, I accidentally opened up a game 2x, the computer froze, then upon reboot, it would get to the desktop then promptly freeze.

I ran scandisk, which detected no problems, and subsequent attempts have yeilded no help.

I have a celeron 400 OC'ed to 458 on an Abit BH6 mobo, TNT AGP, Voodoo2 PCI, 128 mb PC100, CB Live value, fastgear ethernet 10gb maxtor HD.

I am assuming that it is something in the startup files that load, but I have no idea what or how to go about diagnosing it. I have also tried stating from safe, and it works, so I would appreciate all help to steer me in the right direction.

Thanks
CC

Go to "start", "run", type in "msconfig", press enter then select the "start up" tab and un-check any box that you think might be the problem. If it isn't then you cab always re-check it.

Problem resolved itself 20 minutes later, unexplained reason. I shut it down and went to the Mac to get on the help forum, I came back powered up - held the ctrl key, and selected option #2, a boot record, and it booted fine. Restarted and it booted fine again. While this is no longer as urgent, I really wouldnt mind hearing ppls thoughts. As always, thanks...
