My comp runs but after some time the pc hangs even the ctrl alt del function does not work and i have to restart.

This thing happens randomly. there is no fixed timing sometimes in minutes as i start my pc or some times it doesn't even happen. some times as i double for a program to start the problem occurs. the program which i try to start is also different everytime.

please help. i think that it may be a hardware problem .

It does sound like a hardware problem. From the horizontal lines my best guess would be a bad video card.

P.S. Your log was clean.

Now though the problem continues to exist there is little change in its behaviour now at any time the computer hangs the same way as i said before but without any horizontal lines.

And also one new problem has started. My puter restarts anytime randomly . There is no specific event or timing when it restarts.

If its hardware problem then could u suggest me how can i find out the actual hardware causing this problem.
