Hey guys,

I've been having a couple of problems with my computer lately and thought I'd post it here in the hope that I could get some answers and hopefully fix it.

On Thursday night my computer was running fine, no problems what so ever and so when I was finished I turned it off. I didn't get on again until Saturday morning. This time when I started it up, it struggled to start up and after the windows 'Welcome' screen, it went black and I had to switch the power off. (Note: The windows start up was fine, the problems started after the 'Welcome' screen went and the desktop tried to open.) I had to do this three or four times and eventually got into it after a hour or so of long waiting for everything to load. I did a quick virus check and it deleted a couple of things but after that it was clean (I did several more to make sure it was clean.).
From then on, the computer was running OK. After about an hour or two of being on I wasn't having too many problems, only that things would not respond and I would have to close them down. Or things like Google Chrome taking a good minute to load up. Then once again, I turned my computer off thinking that everything was fine.

Sunday, I turned it back on. Windows start up was fine but then I got onto the desktop. It stayed frozen for at least 5 minutes and would freeze and eventually turned to a black screen after a while of being frozen. I was also having problems with applications taking forever to start up and most applications would freeze eventually and not respond so I would have to restart them. My computer would also freeze every now and then and I would have to wait until it un-freezed itself. After a couple of hours it seemed okay but I was still getting a LOT of problems that I had never experienced before.

It is STILL doing these things even today. It has never done this before and I have had it for just under a year. I would appreciate your help and will at least attempt to answer any questions you have. This is really getting annoying and I really want it fixed.

Thanks in advanced,
Krifect.
 
2 Main things you can do:

1. Check all your hardware - run prime95, fur mark, swap out RAM/PSU for a friends that definitely works if you can. Unplug any unneeded hard drives and external peripherals.
2. Make a new partition/find a spare hard drive and install a fresh copy of windows, play around with it for a while and if it works, you may have to back up and re install everything. Its a pain, but sometimes you have to do it.

Thats just my experience in troubleshooting, hope it helps.
