Computer freezes, windows wont start?

Question

Sometimes when I'm on the internet the computer completely freezes, so I need to restart. Whenever I restart, the computer doesnt start up correctly(screen is blank) so I have to shut it down completely. 
After I've done that it loads up, but once the Windows XP screen shows it, it freezes and restarts. Restarts, get to safe mode screen, and select start computer normally or whatever. Do that and the computer works fine then for about 5 minutes until exactly the same thing happens again.

Anyone know what could be causing it? 

I've already formatted/reinstalled XP twice

i had an issue similar to this while running Zone Alarm. same thing, IE freeze, reboot, reinstall, the whole thing. it turned out that ZA was trying to some kind of scan and took 100% of the processor. deleting it off fixed the system and i havent had an issue since. try a system restore to a time when you didnt have the issue and think about all the programs you have installed. I found my problem by opening Task Manager, going to the Processes tab, opening IE, and looking at what program maxed out the CPU...

Have you put any new devices into your system lately? It sounds like there maybe an IRQ conflict with your video card. Control panel / system / hardware / device manager. Check the resources for the devices you have installed. You may need to move one of the cards to a different slot on the motherboard.

My guess could be which you haven't any longer have been given sufficient RAM (random get admission to reminiscence) on your laptop, since Diablo 2 is working sluggish. on the different hand, domicile windows can't commence commonly so i might additionally say which you would be lacking a extreme domicile windows report. attempt uninstalling Diablo 2 or working a scourge/spyware test. additionally, make beneficial the Diablo 2 disc is faraway from the rigidity. i do no longer comprehend what version of domicile windows you have, it could be powerful in case you are going to be able to desire to proportion greater specific guidance.
