If anyone out there knows why my computer keeps freezing let me know. It freezes after windows finishes loading. If I move the mouse onto any icon or to open any window it freezes. If I just leave the mouse on the screen and don't touch anything it won't freeze I need help.

Yes I have. But now I can't do anything. Every time I touch an icon or go to open a program it freezes and reboots

Try rebooting in safe mode and trying to restore to an earlier restore point.

When you logon insert your windows xp cd and type "sfc /scannow"(without quotes)
In run dialog box it will restore all system file(only)

when you logon ...
Umm, he said it freezes as soon as he tries to do anything. So it doesn't sound like that advise will work.
