Login Issue
This only just happened, ive no idea why but when i logged into windows XP with my user account, it froze (including mouse cursor) on the blue login screen (when it says "loading user profile") and i got this constant buzz/tone from the speakers.
Kinder freaked me out (as im a paranoid b1tch) so im hoping any of you peeps know what the cause may be and if its anything serious?

Re: Login Issue
Does it happen every time? Have you recently made any changes to your setup? Have you installed any programs recently?

Does it happen when you go into safe mode?

Re: Login Issue
If it happened only once, and never after, then it's probably just a glitch. WinXP is too much of a monster anyways to go pinpoint an error with such little information.
If it happens again, then start worrying ^^
In th emeantime, did you check your event viewer?

Re: Login Issue
I've got an "old" 1200 Mhz machine at home, that I did a "clean" XP install on.
After a while (half a year, using it once every fortnight), I got the same symptoms as you said.
I don't know what's wrong with that machine. Everything's alright basically (I checked, and I fix computers a lot).
But this machine, it sometimes just crashes with a bluescreen, and then the speakers keep on buzzing.
I can't reproduce it, it happens once in a while.
My guess is something with the hard-drive, as I've fooled around with that before, and sometimes check-disk does it's job while booting XP for no apparent reason.
Other checks tell me, the HDDs are alright though.
If it doesn't happen again, don't worry.
If it does, check all your hardware drivers, and your hard-disks.

Re: Login Issue
Perhaps because it's quite old, old computers do develop more glitches, I've noticed, don't know why, maybe it's the components worn down or something, it's a weird phenonenom (if I could spell)

Re: Login Issue
Computers are just "mostly" deterministic - unless the bug doesnt reappear, dont worry about it. There actually is something like "thermic" aging of components and there is a reason why for example real servers use ECC Ram and desktop machines dont
