the simplest way is to never get that kind of computer for windows use again.... since this may be related to some totally unknowable and unfindable hardware bug (unless you know vast quantities of totally obscure debug knowledge)... return to store if possible... oh wait you aren't talking about installing windows... if there is a rootkit and MBR virus it may be simplest to back up files with a (linux) live cd hose the drive with zeros with dd, and reinstall windows.. if its just windows being stupid (all OSes do) that will also be fixed– conspiritechCommented Mar 25, 2012 at 18:48

Turn off pretty much all of the start-up procceses using msconfig, reboot, CCleaner, defrag, virus scan, reboot, ccleaner and defrag..reboot =p. That's what I would do, but that is just me. (and vista sucks =p)– cutrightjmCommented Mar 25, 2012 at 21:19

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
