    12 reasons for Windows XP Boot Up Failure

    There are many criticisms that are read daily about the bugs that gives Windows XP, how slow it works and how it becomes unstable.

    Well, for starters, if we consider the proportion of failures documented in relation to the hundreds of millions of Windows XP installed currently, can not really talk about that is a bad operating system, or even that it is an unstable system and full of errors, as many claim. Much as in the case of Microsoft, no company can sell so much of a defective product.

    It is true that during the time of its existence (6 years to date) have identified a number of bugs (mostly fixed by Microsoft over time) and updates that have caused some crashes (which also have been corrected), but it is also true that a lot of those decisions provoke them ourselves.

    Let's see what are the reasons that can cause such failures:

    1st NON-GENUINE WINDOWS INSTALLATION:

    On the Internet we found a large number of non-genuine versions of Windows XP, some only illegal, but many manipulated by others. Little to say about that except that we can not talk about errors in XP when it comes to these versions. Just talking about a completely illegal that we do not work.

    But I wanted to put this first because if that is the main cause of many of the complaints about ''Windows'' bugs.


    2nd WINDOWS XP HAVE NOT CORRECTLY UPDATED:

    This is the second cause of instability and problems with Windows XP. If Microsoft releases an update, either for security or maintenance, for a reason. It is very important to our Windows XP properly updated. Moreover, in case of trouble we can always resort to Microsoft.


    3rd INSTALLED THE DRIVERS HAVE NO RIGHT TO OUR HARDWARE:


    This is a fairly common cause of system failures, which can range from malfunctioning even reboots and data loss.


    4th INSTALL WINDOWS XP ON EQUIPMENT entirely inappropriate:

    Relying on the data given Microsoft itself, are totally inadequate equipment installations for this operating system. It is true that Microsoft are minimum requirements for installation, but these minima are a more optimistic that amazes one. XP is an operating system to run on reasonable terms of speed you need enough resources, especially memory. This lack of resources at your facility requires, among other things forced the team to work and eventually to become unstable.

    5th ALLOCATION OF MORE SPACE :

    Windows XP has a rather high tendency to occupy space, often leaving a number of temporary files that should be removed. This powerful team that has a very relative when it comes to computers with limited power and little memory becomes of great importance. It is true that not everyone has the time or knowledge to do maintenance manually, but Windows XP has a tool called Disk Cleanup, from which we can also delete temporary files, while we recover space hard disk.

    6th UNNECESSARY INSTALLATION OF PROGRAMS:

    Often, programs installed without any need, and what is worse, without an assurance on the provenance of these programs. Programs that often masquerade under the guise of maintenance programs of our team are nothing more than a source of continuing problems.

    7th SURF THE INTERNET WITHOUT ADEQUATE PROTECTION AND MINIMAL CARE :

    We face the same as above, but by a different route. Internet is a great invention, but must be used responsibly, taking especially good care of what we install and where we get.
    Installing a good antivirus, though not part of the system itself, if it is a fundamental part in maintaining it.

    8th INDISCRIMINATE USE P2P PROGRAMS:

    On many pages I have read articles in ensuring that P2P programs are totally safe. We are even accuses those who say the opposite of alarmist and go against them.

    Well, not my intention to go against anything, but it is not at all certain that these programs are absolutely safe. Quite the contrary, they have become the major route of introduction of malware on your computer, and is also the cause of many system instabilities (though not enough, consume enough resources).

    9th ENFORCE BOTH SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE TO THE PERFORMANCE THAT ARE BEYOND THEIR CAPABILITIES :

    Sometimes trying to achieve in our team benefits that can not offer. We do this through both hardware and force to force the operating system, installing programs supuestor''miraculous''which nearly always end in instabilities and major problems.

    In this section I will include now that are so fashionable, the many programs that appeared to change the look of Windows XP for Windows Vista, and I will include because these programs usually require an extra effort in the system, since both the change in appearance in some extreme as some incorporating some features require an extra resource, while modifying some parts of Windows XP itself is not always good to touch.

    10th PIRATE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION:

    The software pirate''''always a risk. Want to take or not is a matter to be discussed in this tutorial, but make it clear that my particular position such as this site is to bet on legitimate software.

    What if we have to be very clear is that this type of software, as I said, poses a risk to the integrity of our operating system.
