Hi there....I'm having a problem with my computer and I'm close to taking a hammer to it.lol....it started a few months ago and now its got much worse. The problem is it just keeps freezing and so I have to turn it off and boot it up again...which it could freeze again within 3 mins of the reboot. I have around a one in 5 chance of it working properly.
Anyway, I've been reading other threads on this site and its been suggested that it could be because of a specific program running at the time of the freeze, but for me this cant be the case because sometimes it freezes before I have even loaded a program. Also I've done virus checks etc, which are up to date, and no viruses are detected. So while I've looked over this site people have been advised to get a log from Hijack This, so that is what I have done, which is below.....if anyone can help I would very much appreciate it...thanx!
