Gotta agree with Req here...not giving us much to go on.
What "system" do you have? Maybe it's old and doesn't have sufficient processing power/memory. Are you also running another version of Windows/some other OS? Are you using a genuine copy of XP? Are you upgrading from an older version of Windows? Did you format the HD prior to loading XP? |

If you have had nothing but problems with it, send it back. There could be hardware issues.

OK.
Best advice right now - if it's a brand new system, take it back to where you bought it and get them to fix it. Anything you may now try could void any warranty or service support. |

I had the same issue when I got this PC. I had to upgrade my BIOS as the CPU was too good for the BIOS revision.
If you can, get a friend to download the BIOS onto a flash CD for your motherboard and read the motherboard manual for instructions for updating from CD. |

Yeah, they better be still offering XP, because Vista is a pile of shit. I know Dell still does, IIRC. They even offer Ubuntu, too.
