We need the complete specs for the machine.  What are your D and E drives configured as? Is this a HD with two partitions--C and D?  Can you get into safe mode and check the HD for errors?

And has there been any recent playing about inside the case or the BIOS, new software added, etc.

Are you sure you are free of malware?
