My PC has started freezing after some time of starting. Then if i try to reboot, it comes upto the hardware configuration recognition screen and doesn't move ahead.
If i keep it switch off for a long time (8~12 hr), it can again be started for sometime before the same problem comes again.
My PC config is as below:
2 HDD, 1st : 80 GB: Windows ser 2003
2nd: 40 GB: windows XP SP2
RAM 256+512 MB
Norton anti vius was installed when the problem started.
Is it a OS problem or Registry problem or Hardware problem ? Can anybody suggest how it can be fixed ?

It sounds like it is overheating. If you have an option to run it in an air-conditioned environment, I suspect it would run longer before it shut down.
Unplug the power from your computer.
Open up thje case and look for dust. Use canned air or a very soft brush to remove it. Look behind the front cover and in the CPU heat sink for dust, it is very common there. Do not use a vacuum cleaner, they generate static which may harm your computer.
Plug the power back in with the case open (and your hands outside the case) and verify that the fans are spinning. If not,
they need to be replaced. Power it back down.
Your power supply may be suspect. There may be additional places to install fans, which may help. You might want to reseat the heat sink with some new thermal compound, but don't try it if you are not familiar with the procedure.
