I bought my laptop to be slightly future proof (which is almost impossible given how fast technology is being developed) and to play a few games on
.I plan to take it university which I will hopefully get into come this August (fingers crossed!) and possible play a bit of TF2 or L4D in any free time I may have .Anyway, Steam has recently had a huge sale in which I have downloaded a fair few games to take with me. To put it short I played a game, it froze (as expected due to some bug in the game), hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE to bring up task manager. It then proceeds to a produce an error saying something along the lines of "login process has failed to create the security options" so i click cancel and return to a frozen screen. ALT+tab to gain control, but all programs are still frozen. I choose to restart the comp which then leads to a black screen where I can only move my mouse and no keyboard button or combination gives further control.
I decide to do a manual shutdown and turn the laptop back on. This brings me back to normal. I look up on the internet that this can be caused by an incompatible antiviral program. So first I disabled egui.exe in msconfig(which i now realise is a bag thing...sorry) and restarted, nothing changed when I played. I then unistalled ESET NOD 32....which leads to my problem if I remember correctly....
Upon restarting, after a while I'd get a message pop up saying 'User Profile Service stopped working' send info to microsoft and windows action centre saying I had no AV or ASpyware software and when i tried to activate them I they just didn't register (AVG free and windows defender). I thought this was a one time error so I carried on until my computer froze similarly to the game crash and produced the same symptoms of freezing...hard shutdown. The error message :

...if that means anything?
Over the course of the day i have monitored svchost.exe processses, looked into kernell32.dll and ntdll.dll stop and started DEP and unistalled AVG free and ESET (reinstalled ESET as of now, don't know why I had two AV programs?), used CCleaner and currently defraging with Auslogics Disk Defrag. I have also done disk checks and memory checks with no issues. The symptoms of slowness and freezing after the error message have been remedied as far as I'm aware...I've been on for a while now with no freezing. I just still keep getting the 'User Profile Service stopped working error' and I'm completely lost and fatigued from about 16 hours of constant research into the situation.
Also I can see an action centre bubble pop up and flash for literally a 1/3 of a second. I looked into the action centre and similarly the action centre main menu kept flashing a link which i think says 'Get a windows compatible antivirus online' but I'm not to sure?
My main guess is the problem stemed or is coming from the unistallation of eset whilst disabled in msconfig or the game I played freezing damaging a registry entry. CCcleaner may have deleted the registy entry that caused svchost.exe to make my system freeze but other entries or .dll's are damaged causing the message to pop up? I am really not to sure as I'm not the best with computers, but I'm willing to try anything to solve it...obviously reformatting being the last option.
Very sorry for the huge introduction but I didn't want to miss anything.
Thank you for having the patience to read my nonsense and thank you very much in advance if you can offer any help.
Thanks,
James
*EDIT*
Ok so this morning I get an error saying IP helper has stopped working, I know thats not very important but thats something new.
Also windows action centre is now flashing (quick, hardly visible message?) every few seconds to tell me to turn windows firewall on...even though its enabled? possible virus?
