    Like TheGr81 said, a few more specifics on your computer's setup, such as operating system and some specs on the hardware inside it if possible.

    Can you boot up in safe mode? If you don't know how to do that, you hit the F8 button right after the initial bios screen clears and it will give you a menu to choose from.

    I'm wondering if you just added some new hardware or software right before this problem surfaced or that maybe you got some malware from a drive-by on some website.
