Ok guys no need to argue between each other. we are here trying to help Ang and you can't do that if you argue amongst yourselves ;) Ang sounds like your computer is doing like my girlfriends computer was doing a couple of weeks ago. It is not a virus/trojan/spyware or anything like that. Check the ram like Nevanna said to first. If you can't find the problem get it to a shop and have them check it over. My girlfriend is now on her old Pent 333 which is like putting drac on an old 486 dx266 with bryce ;) Yes her AMD 1800 died but your problem sounds like the way her computer started to play up. 1 question though, was your computer freezing up before any of this happened?

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
