There are a lot of stuff to be said, it could be any:\n- Software Problem:\nError in Windows System Files\n\n- Hardware Problem:\nProcessor over heating\nRAM not working properly\nComputer fans not working properly\nHard Disk Spinning Errror\n\nI recommend trying to repair Windows through the Installation Media Source (the CD) by booting the computer witht the CD, then going into setup mode and choose repair.\n\nOtherwise, try backing up all your valueable data, format the Primary Partition, and reinstall a fresh copy of Windows...\n\nGood Luck

What you do depends on what operating system you are running.  No matter which OS, go to the respective website.  For example, if you were running windows, you would go to microsoft.com.  Whichever site you go on, look for the "troubleshooting" or "contact us" part of the site.  Then, explain your problem.  Most likely, however, the problem has nothing to do with your operating system.  Still, the techies might offer some useful feedback.  Good luck!

It is probably simply a problem with the hard drive, like the computer says. Check to make sure that the connections are all good, and if this does not work, send it back for a replacement.

Check it out with another computer. There  you will come to know, if the problem is in your computer(i.e viruses) or in settings.

Unplug everything, replug it all back in.   Did you install the drivers properly?\n\nHP is the way to go next time.

What operating system do you have?\n\nGo to Start menu, then programs, then accessories, then system tools. Click on system restore and try and restore it to a previous day when it was actually working. \n\nYou might have some windows system files that might be corrupt or you might want to check for adwares or spywares thats in your system that might be corrupting some files.

Check if you have all the correct drivers installed. You said that the PC had recently been formated so it could be as simple as incorrect video or mouse (trackpoint, touchpad) drivers.\nYou should check the manufacturer's support site to get the latest version of drivers. If you don't know the address just post your make and model and we'll try to find it.\nHope this helps!

If your computer more recent, then probably the issue is software related. I would advise updating all your hardware drivers and updating windows to the latest patches. plus antivirus and adware/malware scans are a must.\n\nIf your computer is more than 2 years old, then this is probably a hardware problem (could be the RAM or a bus). You will need to upgrade.\n\nAll the best!!!

You need to check that particular computer and make sure it is set to "shut down" and not set to "reboot".  That  will probably solve your problem.

Is the computer on standby? If it is then you should shutdown the computer instead. \n\nRun an antivirus program on your computer to see if a virus may be the cause as well. Also check to see if you have had any recent errors, like driver conflicts or "the blue screen of death". That could also be a cause.

Buggy RAM?  Was it all of a sudden?  Try running spyware tests.  Could be hidden programs task manager doesn't see.  You say you "sometimes" have the problem.  Any triggers that might set it off consistently?\n\nHave you considered reinstalling windows?  Might help.  Good luck.\n\n--An addition to Jerry's suggestion.  If the fan is kaput, the whole system will slow down.  I had a fan that was stuck from time to time.  Once I figured it out, my sys was back to normal.  Thank goodness I figured it out before the CPU fried.
