I agree this sounds like spyware. Try free tools such as Spybot Search and Destroy, Lavasoft Adaware, MS Defender, Yahoo toolbar, AVG antivirus, and Bitdefender antivirus to remove these problems.

What verison of Windows are you using?  XP has a log.  If you right click on My Computer, Manage, click the plus sign beside Event Viewer, then click on System, you will find a list of most errors that your computer has.\n\nIf you are hearing a click, chances are it is a hardware problem, and not a software problems.  Since it is mostly when you are using a lot of rescorces, it could be that you are over heating, and your system is shutting down on it's own.  Or it could be a video problem.  \n\nYou may want to install a temp monitor on your computer and check it out when gaming.\n\nAlso, check your fans and make sure they aren't clogged up with dirt and dust, also some fans have filters, so if yours does, make sure it is clean.\n\nGood luck

Probly a old computer with too much junk in it. Plus probly does have enough ram in the computer.  Try having someone who has good computer know how. To delete any unused or unneeded programs.  If you delete the wrong thing you can crash your computer.   You can defrag. your computer.  Also scan disk it.  That will help.  \n\nIf all else fails.  Try having someone do a total restore on your computer.  It will make just like a new one.

I assume your computer is slow running - It may be a hardware issue - need more RAM\n\nalso - have you defragged lately - and check disk to see if you have any errors on the hard drive - those will cause you problems, too\n\nI have 2 gig of RAM and check disk weekly and defrag monthly. good 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's your computer has a very slow processor speed, than that could be the problem.  However, it is more likely that you have a virus.

I would suggest you have a professional take a look at it. It could be anything.I have a feeling it's the motherboard,but don't take my word for it. Just have it looked at.If you've had it for a very long time over the years, chances are you might either need a new motherboard,or a new pc. I have a Dell Dimension 3000 and i recommend you buy yourself one if you don't wanna spend over $600 on a new motherboard

Check all cable connections, mouse, monitor, AC power cord etc. sometimes they work loose. If everything appears OK, you may need to reload windows. Some viruses will do this by corrupting your program files. You can try a emergency disk, restart in SAFE mode, or just format the drive and reload Windows and all the drivers. I do this about every 3 months to clean out junk and corrupt files. You will find your PC runs much faster.

This is most likely a hardware issue.  Have you installed any new hardware recently (right before the problem started)?\n\nPossible solutions:\nCheck for new drivers for your motherboard.\nCheck for new drivers for your video card.\nCheck for BIOS upgrades.\nIf you bought your computer from an OEM (e.g. Dell, Gateway, etc.), try going to the vendor's website and see if they released any new driver packages.

1.Please check the Cable connecting your computer.\n2.Please check the Internal Wiring ( if you can ) else call the service engineer he will be able to fix it.

Your problem is probably either a stick of RAM has gone bad (especially if it's the only stick you have), or it needs to be reseated (pressed down on both ends), or your motherboard's battery has failed, which is the most likely, given the age of the computer.

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
