When I try to restart windows, the screen freezes and does not proceed. I am using Windows ME. I have to shutdown and restart the computer mechanically. What are possible causes?

Use MSCONFIG to troubleshoot by deselecting each program in the Startup menu and see if this clears up the problem

Check to see itf the anti-virus is loading at startup that may be causing a coflict in addressing memory that is already being used

Try disabling Power Management

The video driver could cause this problem,try updating the driver

If your computer supports Windows XP, get rid of Windows Me.
Windows Me will crash all the time no matter what you do. I had to reinstall in the same computer 200 times and most of the times it wouldn't install unless I formatted the hard drive
