Whenever I turn on my computer, it sometimes doesn't start. It goes through all of that stuff (i think its called bios..) and then just turns black. The little light for the FLOPPY goes on and doesn't go off. That's how I know it's stuck and wont go on anymore. I have to unplug everything (except power and monitor) and it will load. then I can plug it all back in and start to use it.  does anyone know what the problem could be?

windows XP, service pack 2, started happening about a year ago. i use spybot and ADAWARE.

i dont have any discs or floppys or anything in my pc at the time of start except mouse, speakers, monitor, and keyboard. Quote
