Firstly, go to your BIOS setup (press Delete on system startup) and set System
or BIOS defaults. This might sometimes decrease system hangs.
If the problem still persists, it *might* be a hardware problem. It would be helpful if you could pinpoint exactly where in the booting process does it hang: like before LILO, after LILO; during heavy disk access; during keyboard reads, sound play etc. Find the common factors between your Windows and Linux hangs. That will help more people in helping you...
