My computer hangs while the Windows Xp Boot Logo is loading. I will have to hold the cpu power button to force it to shutdown and turn it on again to escape the hang. Anyone knows what is the problem with my pc?

Could be a lot of things from software to hardware.

If you can get to the safe mode... try running a disk check.
Try un-plugging any usb devices to test.
Try removing memory and boot with one stick and then try another one.

Try this from: How to start your computer by using the Last Known Good Configuration feature in Windows XP

How to start your computer by using the Last Known Good Configuration feature

To start your computer by using the Last Known Good Configuration feature, follow these steps:
1. Start your computer.
2. When you see the "Please select the operating system to start" message, press the F8 key.
3. When the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, use the ARROW keys to select Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked), and then press ENTER.
4. If you are running other operating systems on your computer, use the ARROW keys to select Microsoft Windows XP, and then press ENTER.

Troubleshooting

- With the Last Known Good Configuration feature, you can recover from configuration problems such as newly installed drivers that may be incorrect for your computer's hardware. It does not correct problems that are caused by missing or corrupted drivers or files.
- The Last Known Good Configuration feature uses information that is saved from the last time that you shut down your computer to restore registry settings and drivers. Therefore, you can use this feature only if you were able to start your computer successfully before you restore your computer by using the last known good configuration.
- After you start your computer by using the Last Known Good Configuration feature, changes that were made since the last successful startup are lost.

I turns out it's a registry problem. i run CCleaner in safemode, and after fixing all the issues my computer's been starting up without any problems.
