I need to to clean it out, its full of dust .

i'm not sure if it's the vid card because even when it starts up before loading windows it freezes and does the same thing.

I was thinking either my HDD heatin up or my PSU screwin up, what do you think?

does it boot into safe mode and work OK, could be a driver/hardware conflict.

also the hsf may be full of dust causing big problems. Had it happen,not that I'm proud to get a puter that dirty but........

I haven't booted into safe mode , I just figured it was hardware or maybe even a virus.

doesn't really sound like a virus, but I guess about anything is possible

Bump, anymore suggestions?

Turns out it was my Power Supply, the end part of the cord that goes to the motherboard was burned out, looked like a rainbow lol , at least it's somethin cheap .
