I have not installed any new software or hardware before it started! any ideas what is causing this?
 
thanks

Check the event logs, and make sure it was shut down properly, or maybe some other event that may have caused it

Have you perchance "upgraded" some utility software that may have a toggle set that you are not familiar with? Generally, when W2K hesitates it is running something (registry compactor or sometimes antivirus software) at a certain level before windows becomes fully available. Also, run your virus software or spybot software to be on the safe side.
