I've got a Dell running NT 4 Workstation. It goes thru the normal boot but when it gets to the workstation splash screen the machine locks up.
I've boot to a floppy and transfered from a floppy the ntldr and boot.ini and ntdetect files from anothermachine just like it.

It does souns like a driver conflict. Were any new devices/drivers introduced? As the other user stated, load with minimal drivers. Choose VGA mode when booting. I'd also recommend updating the computers bios. Next you can try pulling out the network card and rebooting. Do you get any errors or does it just sit there forever? - Jerry

Sorry, I haven't been able to get back to this machine yet, it's only used every once and a while.
I had a couple of machine's get hit with the BugBear Virus, trying to clean them up.
Yes, It just sit's there 24/7 with that splash screen.
