It can be caused by software or hardware error. To fix software failture you have to boo up in the Safe mode anf clean your registry especially keys Run also you can use utility which is called msconfig.exe (Start->Run->msconfig). Check the start up list.

If it's because of hardware you have find a special CD which will allow you to boot the system and run tests.

PS One of the most common reasons for pcs to freeze is the CPU high temperature. To fix it you have purchase new CPU thermo paste and replace the old one. How to replace thermo paste you can find in Google.

One of the main causes - is bugs in the original program - that have remained undetected before release. Sadly - in the case of Microsoft's products - you have to wait for an 'upgrade' to see if they've fixed it. With Linux - the end user has the automatic right to 'tinker' with the operating system to fix any bugs they find (if they're capable of doing that).
