Got a Dell, it freezes it can't multi-task it's your average crappy PC.
HOWEVER, now it freezes 4/5 times and when it does it can't get past the Dell logo during the boot.
It's possible it's just realised it's a Dell and is simply trying to commit suicide but if not what part of it is dying?
Better not be the maindrive as I only had it installed about 8 months ago.

overheating? check the CPU fan.
Nope, there's definite air-flow.
Gone in to task manager yet? See if there are any suspicious applications running.
I have loads of crappy programs starting when windows gets going.
Think I should kill a few off then?

Some people say 'maindrive', oddly. I think it's an American term.
Anyway, if you've got too many programs starting up with your computer, it's probably clogging up as it tries torun them all. Start only with the basic essentials. You should only really having 3 or 4 programs running when you start up. Also, reducing the amount of icons on your desktop and defragging your harddrive will aid with a speedy start up.
Sounds also like you might need some more RAM if you're having problems multitasking.

If you asked your mac to load 30 programs on start up it would crash as well.
