    How old is it? I see these knids of problems in older computers (cept the BSOD) it might benefit you to put up a HiJackThis report. I cant read 'em, but enough people here can to see if your infected.

    WHOOPS! I forgot you can't get into the internet, can you? if you can get in and download the program, put one up.

    Your problems sound spyware or hardware related. If you can download you should download Hijack this as Gate28 suggested and post a log in the spyware area. Also you should download and run memtest to check your ram http://www.majorgeeks.com/Memtest86_d4226.html. You may also hddlife to check you hard drive http://hddlife.com/ . You might want to download AVG Anti-Spyware Free http://free.grisoft.com/doc/download-free-anti-spyware/us/frt/0
    and run a scan in the meantime while you wait to hear from the Spyware Team
