Hi Chris

Try running your security programs in safe-mode.

Have you installed any new hardware, software, or driver updates just prior to this issue starting?

Go to Start>Run and type msconfig>Enter ... and disable some of the more recent programs in the start-up folder - see if that helps ... reintroduce one program at a time if it does make a difference.

Anything relevant in Event viewer? (right click My Computer>manage)

How about Device manager? (Right click My Computer>Properties>Hardware) ... ?
