All of a sudden, my computer started to have this problem. Everytime I turn it on, it's fine for a few minutes then bam, nothing works. I can still move the mouse around and click on start. If I try to run an application, the application doesn't load at all. I can click refresh, but the wheel shows up and nothing happens. If I try to turn it off, everything disappears except for the desktop background. Nothing happens, it can't even turn off, so I am forced to remove the power. This started in the morning but it only happened once, then it started to happen more frequently until it happens everytime I turn it on. I tried restoring it to a previous version but the same problem occurred. I am assuming it is a hardware problem.

Specs:
PCU: AMD FX-4100 Bulldozer
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6950 2gb.
PSU: 850W Thermaltake.
RAM: 8gb
Plenty of cooling.

Sounds like the hard drive is getting ready to fail or has failed. could also be the ram. Are you getting blue screens?

Is there any way I can safely transfer the data to another hard drive? I have about 1 terabyte of data and I don't want to lose it.

Any luck running it in safe mode? If it holds up fine in safe mode you could be having a driver issue with a new program or spyware/malware. Try safemode first.
