Hi all,

Basically what use to happen was If I went anywhere near my documents or sometimes a shortcut to a folder the computer would lockup and just crash and have white lines everywhere on my screen.. Now that's not happened for a little while now but every time I try to run a "scan now" on Microsoft Security Essentials the computer just locks up again.

There is no BSOD at all it just crashes and it turns of when I push the power for a second. I'm not sure if this is a virus doing this or hardware/software.

Anyone know away on how to fix this issue?

*Update*

I don't think it is Microsft Security Essentials I could be a windows error as It seems to be anything in the notifications on the right hand side anything I click down there to do a action it just locks up.. Like when I clicked "Scan now"
