    Computer freezes
    If anyone out there knows why my computer keeps freezing let me know. It freezes after windows finishes loading. If I move the mouse onto any icon or to open any window it freezes. If I just leave the mouse on the screen and don't touch anything it won't freeze I need help.

    Try rebooting in safe mode and trying to restore to an earlier restore point.
