Problems with either OS or hardware

[Triple-X]

Hello,
I am having frequent trouble whenever i am loading up vista on my machine.
On startup, it will fail to load personalized settings and crash the desktop. I can use my mouse/keyboard and task manager only. whole system get hanged. What should i do??

Sounds like a driver issue .Type in run box msconfig do a diagnostic startup this should load the machine like safe mode. If the machine boots fine this way then type msconfig again then startup tab uncheck everything reboot the system if this boots properly then put a check mark back in each one rebooting in between until you find the problem driver.if this doesn't work try sfc.exe from command prompt to make sure no system files have been changed may have to reapply hot fixes .

You can try the safemode with Networking option. Or else Next opinion is to try Windows Disk Clean up in safe mode, as crazy as it sounds, sometimes it can help solve some computer issues that you would least expect it to solve.
Another thing is If you installed any new Software lately, try uninstalling it if possible and once again if you don't mind doing so. If you break all of that down and find out it's a hardware problem with some device you just attached to the computer, try contacting the company to see if their are any common issues and if they can help.

If something got selected by accident and computer said could not run in this configuration then try to restart computer . Press F8 get to the Advanced Boot Options? Try to choose the Last Good Known Configuration and restart the computer.
Or else you have only choice the fresh installation. May be your system file corrupted is also main cause for this problem.
