Angry Fire win xp fails to boot

issue : winxp hangs on "welcome" screen--no hdd activity..comput just stops..

discussion: Prostar PIII-1000 cpu 396 ram 20 gbhdd with winxp sp-2. Ran fine until this am when comput hung on web radio station music...rebooted--and now hangs on the winxp welcome screen...played with some settings in "msconfig"--i disabled the bootgui and it now boots--but i dont trust it!!

needed action:

can sumone tell/link me-to a basic procedure for troubleshooting "no boot-hangs" winxp issue!

runs normally in "safe" mode"

suspect it is a driver but dont know how to diagnose.

many thanx!!!
