When the computer is start regular it starts up and starts loading stuff and then freezes I think because the cpu usage is at 100%... if you start in safe mode or diagnostic start-up the computer will run forever.... is there like a main list of things that have to be running and how do i remove things that dont need to be running... this computer is just for going online so nothing is really needed on it extra running.. worse comes worse ill restore the computer but was hoping there was an easier way...

Try running MSCONFIG. I am not sure if this is possible from Safe Mode. Go to a dos prompt and type MSCONFIG, and uncheck all the programs you dont want to start when your PC boots up.
