• Hi, this freezing of the Computer all of a sudden can be the cause of a number of things; first have you "downloaded any new Software, Toolbars, or changed any Programs? Next check to see "How much Memory is available to you." Go to and open the Computer Properties, if there is (more Used Space than there is Free Space) than "I suggest you do a [Disk Clean-Up] from the same location. Next, when was the "Last time you preform a "Defragmentation of the files, this can slow down the Computer's performance aswell." Backing up your Data and Files is another way to free-up space; this can be perform by (Sheduling Tasks), go to the "Control Panel.' for this task. If any of these things do not apply, then the next thing I suggest is to "perform a System Restore," this will restore your computer hopefully, back to a Time or Date prior to the problem beginning. The [System Restore] can be performed from the Control Panel. "If this information to a solution was of help, rating it is appreciated, thanks

when ya boot it up...press F8 a bunch of times and try to go to safe mode and try to copy all your files to a hard drive and then put the disk that came with your computer in, and reinstall your operating system and that usually works for me

The desktop icons and the task bar would generally dissappear if you have a virus on the PC. However, sometimes improper software installations may cause undesired results like we have right now. Instead of trying uninstalling anything, try restoring the system to a previous point using system restore.

Try booting to the Safe mode; this will load Win but with minimal junk loaded. You can access the menu to choose boot mode by turning on power and immediately start tapping the F8 (sometimes F5 instead) key. You should get a short text menu with the possibilities listed. If you can make it that far, open the Start menu, choose 'Run.' Enter:
rstrui.exe
click 'OK.'
This starts the restore routine and, if you haven't had it turned off, you can restore your system back to a calendar date (not too recent, choose a couple of days back) when it was still working.
You will lose no work other than Win and AV updates that have occurred since that date.
This will often make everything OK again; with the reminder that it IS Windows.
Good luck-

i thinkl you got a virus,, i suggest you to restarted than scan your computer.

do you have restore disc that came with laptop if you use this to reformat coputer yes it should help

I have the same model and i just reformatted the hard drive with the original restore disk and it does loop around several times. That is the way it is suppose to do on this particular restore disk. So don't be afraid if it goes around several times because it is doing different tasks each time it loops.
