Windows playing up

[compsci]

Hello all,

Everytime I switch one my pc and choose to startup windows XP Student Edition. After a while, it freezes! I can't move the mouse, once I cant do that i press enter or esc on the keyboard and it makes one "beep" sound and thats it, nothing else happens. I restart computer and use it for a while again, sometimes it doesn't freeze and sometimes it does! I think it usualy freezes up when i do things that are demanding like burning on nero.

I have run virus tests etc using AVG. Sometimes it freezes during this but i have deleted something called "installer.exe" since it was shown up as a threat. I though this would solve problem but it didn't!

Anyone know what else i can do or what is wrong with Windows?

Thanks all, Appreciate any help!

Sounds like your windows is messed up and cant start

Do you have the Xp cd so you can do a repair install?

yeah i have the CD. But what is there to repair? Everything works fine it just freezes for no reason? I did a system health check online using pcpitstop and symantech and everything is in workind order!!! No corrupt files and no viruses so what can it be!!! But i will give the repair intsall a go!

What else can it be do you think?

Thanks for reply

It has to be Windows, try running CCleaner

Completed CCleaner and it got rid of 3, 600mb!!! eeehhh is that normal! So i had 3GB of crap laying around! I doubt this will solve problem but hopefully it will!

Anything else that i can run or do to solve problem?

if you never clean-up your comp, that is normal...
the first time i ran CCleaner, it got rid of 2GB worth of rubbish
your comp should be better now and faster too... Hopefully...
