Thank you, ahead of time, to anyone who even bothers to read this.
A few days ago I restarted my computer (Windows XP Home) and I'd get to the blue log in page where you select what user you want to log in as. Whenever I'd click on it, it would say it was loading the personal setting for forever and most of the time -- never ever load further than that. Eventually, after a couple of tries, it worked but I got a few warnings saying my virtual memory was too low, that some programs failed to execute. But everything seemed to work fine.
Today it rebooted itself and I clicked to log in and it had the same problem. Though this time it occasionally would go past the log in page -- load my background, but nothing else. I ctrl + alt + deleted and logged out and logged back in and it worked but within thirty seconds, it had shut itself off and rebooted without any warning at all.
So right now I'm running it in safemode since that's the only thing that works -- I ran virus scans and I got funlove.gen and that was removed so I tried to see if the problem was fixed, but it still did the same thing -- only this time if I logged on as a NEW username I made I got a popup saying ntauthority\system was shutting down in sixty seconds. I know this is commonly associated with the blaster worm, I got that on my other computer through my school's wireless network and removed it from there long long ago. So I am back in safe mode now, I'm running the blaster removal too but it hasn't seem to have found anything yet and it's been running for a long while now.
I'm not sure what else it could be, so I thought I'd give it a try and ask here if anyone has had similar problems or may have any idea as to what I can do to fix this.
Thank you!
