Computer not responding...help, plz!

Kalena · 05-09-2008, 08:22 AM

Hi,
I have a brand new laptop and all has been great until the other day when suddenly every task I've tried to do has stopped responding or just simply won't even open. I don't get popups, but everything stops responding, including trying to shut down or use start button, etc.

Below is a copy of my hijackthis report.

I'm not sure if I may have some malware or if something else is going on, so I figured I'd post here to see if it is that or not.

This issue has caused me numerous critical reports such as:

Scenario : System Responsiveness
Analysis result : Analysis could not be performed in time. There is a possible serious performance issue
Incident Time (UTC) : 5/9/2008 1:03:43 PM

Thanks in advance for any help you may give me.
