It really sounds like a hardware/software issue. Look in msconfig and see if there is any programs running on bootup that shouldn't be. Uncheck anything you don't want to run. Could be driver issues or any new software that you may have installed lately. Start with those ideas and we'll go from there.

You are typing "msconfig" without the quotes inside the run box? If so, sounds like you need to do a repair install of windows.
Another thing to check would be this, which I had to use it to fix a friends machine after a major infection. The reference to the path within the registry may be wrong. Check this location in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\MSCONFIG.EXE In the right pane, next to Default, it should show: C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\ MSConfig.exe If C is not the drive that windows is installed on then change it to the correct drive letter.
