Certainly not normal. Try selecting F8 before Windows starts up and use safe mode for
a while to see if it happens. If safe mode works then you have an issue with a
startup program or a device driver. Invoking Task Manger via control-alt-delete may
help show what process/application is causing the problem. If you see a process,
other than idle or SETI, using most of resources then right click it and select end
tree process. If that helps and does not crash computer than you can try to uninstall
application that creates that process. If you have a W98 or XP computer, copying
msconfig.exe to the \winnt\system32 folder and using it can help determine what start
up application is causing the problem by selectively disabling startup programs. It
may also be worthwhile to run SpyBot Search and Destroy on your system. --- Steve
