    When does it freeze ???
    Before it gets to windows , or just on the boot up ?
    It could be a power related issue , and Athlon systems are hungry all right .
    what power rating is you Power Supply ?
    Need more info

    it freezes when the wizard is searching for recently connected hardware as there is no installation cd for it,reading the back of the box and it says minimum pentium 4 should i disconnect my printer or any other hardware to see if it makes any difference?

    the external DVD burner from Aldi? should it not run off its own power supply? try removing it completely and try a fresh install!

    Have you tried a different USB port? Or connecting it all and then turning the PC on?

    are you running Win XP , or older Win 98 ???
    If you are running Win 98 SE ed. 1 , then it doesnt support USB .

    Best to be on XP
