So you really mean "yes, I can see everything when I start my computer" and you can get into Windows but then the computer freezes and the screen goes black? I realize we're working with a language problem (and I'm sorry but I don't speak Greek), so we need to be as clear as possible. Let's try and narrow down the troubleshooting by you providing more information.The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't?If the screen is going black, this indicates more of a hardware problem to me as opposed to malware (software). Does this happen after the computer has been on for a while? Please give a description of your computer, its recent history, and its approximate age.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

I can't be sure without being able to test the computer myself (which obviously I can't do) but it sounds like hardware failure to me. You can test the hardware yourself or take it to a reputable local professional (not a BigComputerStore type of place). But I don't advise putting any money into such an elderly machine. It's time to replace it. Back up your data now.http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_TshootMS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

Alhtaras, may I ask you:1) What antivirus you have (2) Have you deleted Temporary Files lately? (3) Can you Boot and Login normally (say 30 to 45 seconds)?You may want to install following to remove junk from your computer and speed-up the process:CCleaner: http://download.piriform.com/ccsetup234.exeAutoruns: http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/Autoruns.zipProcess Explorer: http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/ProcessExplorer.zipPageDefrag: http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/PageDefrag.zipDefraggler: http://download.piriform.com/dfsetup121.exeBootvis: http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=664Follow 3-steps instructions from: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/xpperformance/thread/14ade616-4f7e-4839-9c62-9025069e5b26
