Do you know how hot your CPU is getting? Do you hear any beeps from the MB when you're booting?
If the CPU is overheating, it will stall the bootup process. One way to help fix that if you're certain your heatsink is working fine, is to properly clean and re-apply some thermal gel..
Not sure if a GFX failure would cause your entire comp to freeze..
it was hanging after windows started. I reformated and reinstalled windows and all seems to be going ok ... for now. So I'm guessing it's a corrupted windows file somewhere. At least I hope that's the problem. I'll run it like this for a while and see if it still crashes.
