My personal opinion would be just to Format your hard drive and start from
scratch, even if you do get it up and running, I would be willing to bet
you're going to have nothing but errors when you try to do anything. If you
have a clean install there shouldn't be any problems. If it still freezing
when you install windows after a new format my guess is you have some bad
hardware. Possible things are hard drive, memory, CPU, or motherboard. Most
likely it's one of the first two. I bet however the problem will go away on a
clean install, that fixes most problems like that. That's just my suggestion
you can see if anyone else has a better one.
