i've increased the ram from 1 to 2GB, tried system restores, regularly remove malware and adware, changed virus protection, and updated the drivers.
my suspicion is that it's a caused by a few corrupted files that i can't repair as i've no recovery disc but i'm unsure as the pc works very well most of the time. any pointers would be greatly appreciated! attached is my hijack this log, if that helps at all.
