Hi there,
It seems every few months I end up here seeking help with problems on my computer. I'm hoping you can save my sanity yet again with your computer whispering :whistling:

Here's some of the problems I can think of right now:
* Screen flickers & blacks out when watching avi files or playing games, like the Sims 2 (Right on school holidays too!)
* When watching avi's or playing games, after the flickering & blacking out, the computer often freezes & I get a BSOD.
* BSODs - sometimes on start up, sometimes when watching videos or playing games.
* Incredimail is painfully slow, despite regularly emptying inbox, outbox, sent folder & deleted items folder.
* Windows Live Messenger continues to open on start up, slowing the pc down, despite doing all I can think of to NOT open on start up.
* Sometimes the pc will shut down without being prompted to do so.
* I'm worried there are too many files on my computer - it's not really a problem as such, just a concern. My C: has 67GB & 44.7GB free.
* My webcam picture is green & dark - dunno if that's the sort of problem you can fix but it's annoying all the same.

I've just run AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5, Windows Clean Up! & Spybot then done a HiJack This scan...here tis:

Your log is clean, you do not have a malware problem. You have a whole host of problems, many of which require people with different specialties.

Screen flickers & blacks out when watching avi files or playing games, like the Sims 2 (Right on school holidays too!)

This would be something for the Applications forum.

* When watching avi's or playing games, after the flickering & blacking out, the computer often freezes & I get a BSOD.
* BSODs - sometimes on start up, sometimes when watching videos or playing games.

You need to get us the exact error message displayed in the BSOD. This would go in the OS forums.

* Incredimail is painfully slow, despite regularly emptying inbox, outbox, sent folder & deleted items folder.
* Windows Live Messenger continues to open on start up, slowing the pc down, despite doing all I can think of to NOT open on start up.

Applications

* Sometimes the pc will shut down without being prompted to do so.

Hardware

* I'm worried there are too many files on my computer - it's not really a problem as such, just a concern. My C: has 67GB & 44.7GB free.

OS

* My webcam picture is green & dark - dunno if that's the sort of problem you can fix but it's annoying all the same.

Hardware

Each of these forum has specialists who reside there. They will be better equipped to help you than anyone in this forum.
