I've had problems with my computer, when it starts up.  The first
indication is when the system reaches the Desktop screen.  Usually, the
cursor is frozen.  I can't do anything to unfreeze the system.  I then
push the Reset button.  The screen goes black/blank and nothing is
happening.  I push the Reset button again.  This time part of Dos screen
appears, but it doesn't finish the startup mode.  I push Reset again
with a black screen showing up.  I turn off the computer, wait and turn
it back on.  It gets to the Desktop screen, but the cursor is frozen.

The first time this happened.  I spent an hour and half trying to get my
system running.  Today, when this happened, I spent about 15 minutes.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to resolve this problem--short
of kicking the computer or tearing out my hair.
