[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 1693528, member: 9374"] Could be any one of a number of things from viruses or malware to a corrupted file or operating system to hardware that is going out. My money is on either overheating (those laptops get CAKED with dust inside) or a hard drive trying to buy the farm. I would highly recommend you back up any important files to a CD or flash drive before it goes bye-bye forever, though. Then download the latest Avast AntiVirus, MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware (all these are available free) and run those programs through after updating. Multiple times. If all that comes back ok, it narrows it down. [/QUOTE]
