Help

Lets start with the easy ones.

Once you get it running, run a virus scan.
Check your temperatures.
Any new software or hardware?

Camiabaz,Hi.If it was a virus wouldnt it do more damage then temp locks?Runs at 43C.No new hardware or anything.

Try this once you have booted up. Click Start/Run, type in "msconfig", on the Start tab see what programs are starting up. From this point you can make a list of which have check marks, then uncheck the nonessential. Whenever you click "Apply" or "Ok" you will have to reboot.

So, if you want you can just note what's in your startup list, then get out of msconfig and go to your desktop, and do a "Ctrl-Alt-Del". Then end task on everthing except "Explorer" & "Sys Tray" if you don't experience any freeze-ups then you know your problem is software related.

Now back to the Startup List, start unchecking boxes one-by-one and rebooting until you find out which program is the problem. This is trial-n-error type troubleshooting, but it works. Good luck!

Hi jc14all thanks for the answer.Iam on selective startup all the time.The only things that run when I start is Explore and systry.... 

With only Explorer and Sys Tray running are you still experiencing the freezes? What mouse driver are you running? This is from the Logitech site:


I have seen mouse drivers cause some really weird stuff. Just a shot in the dark.
