Once you get into Windows, try checking the Event Viewer for errors. In particular, look in the Windows Logs...System log files.

Try cleaning the case out (if it's a desktop system) in case it's a heat issue. DO NOT use a vacuum cleaner (static electricity) or a high pressure compressed air hose (will blow stuff loose). Either huff and puff, or use canned air.

Check to make sure that your fans are running, particularly the ones that cool the CPU and Video card.

If it's a laptop, then try the canned air to blow out the vents in both directions. Also check to see if the fan is working.

Thanks!!!!
After using another scanner here is what was found:

Agent.jay (found in STOPzilla!\SZPro5.msi\stream18\SZKGSys)
WinVNC.1370
WinVNC.1360

Plus all the registry errors. I need something that will remove these, and also clean and repair my registry
