Your putting a charge on the battery when its running.
Check the fuel pump to see if it is running.
Check the charging system with a voltmeter to see if it is charging the battery sufficiently A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 volts without engine running With engine running should read approx. 13.8-14.2 volts
Is your battery bad? If so, try booting up plugged in without the battery installed. Mine was freezing up shortly after login, but I have been running around half an hour without the battery, and so far it has not frozen up.
