So the computer "freezes" once you have booted up?  Can you use the keyboard?

Can you boot into safe mode without the same thing happening?

I assume you have administrative powers over the computer?  Is this a problem that should be taken to the network administrator?

Any other computers on the network having this or similar problems?
