Window XP Pro feeze

I have a Asus a7n8x motherboard AMD Athlon XP 2400+, 1gb DDR ram, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, 80gb maxtor sata 150/hdd that I just bought. I just insatlled Windows XP Pro and when I do a Windows update and re-boot it boot up fine till it get to the window xp pro screen with the blue bar that goes side to side. well the blue bar move then stop move then stop it does that for a couple of second then freezes. any help would be great thanks

 

Are you able to boot to safe mode?
Did the system worked correctly prior to install windows updates?

 

Sounds like a botched update..Do as suggested and try safe mode booting then go to add/remove programs and remove the newly installed update then retry downloading one at a time.

 

I just finish doing a clean install no update I install driver for some hardware and it does the same thing. I even tryed installing just one by one the driver for the hardware and it freezes after the first one I install.

 

Try the chipset drivers first

 

Did you recieve a driver cd with the motherboard ?

 

no I did not
