Hey guys, I'm just checking to get your opinions. My computer started acting screwy a couple of days ago where I'd be working, then all of a sudden, I couldn't click on anything. I'd reboot over and over, but I still couldn't click on anything. When it's like that, I can use the tab keys to get around into my start menu, but I still can't open up things with it, so I know that it's not my mouse.

What's odd is that it works then I can shut it down and later on, it'll work as if nothing is wrong, kinda like right now, no problems, so I don't know if it's a heat problem. I opened up my system, blew out all of the dust, checked to make sure that the fans were working, and made sure that the vents are ok, but it's still the same thing.

One other strange aspect of the matter is that my hard drive running light has been staying on a lot, like right now, while it's sitting there, the light is on, but I don't hear it running.

I did go through and run my virus scan (which it took forever to do, it ran really slow), but nothing turned up. I also did a system restore to 2 weeks ago, which took about 15 minutes to do, which usually doesn't take long to do, but it's still acting up.

When I boot up windows XP, it loads up perfectly fine, just like normal.

Any ideas ?? I've been getting all of my current shit backed up here, planning for the worst, ha ha ha. Perhaps I'll need to do a full system restore to clear it up OR should I just go out and pick up a new drive.
