Try geting a program called CCleaner, run it and it should work again after that.
Will it shutdown in “Safe Mode”?
Have you ran a virus scan and spyware scan?
Open the Event Viewer utility in your Administrative Tools control panel and look through the system and application logs for any errors, warnings, or other messages which might point to the source of the problem. If you find any, post ’em here.
is the pc really old?
my laptop did this after about 6 months of usage but i didnt fix it through a program i had to whipe my laptop clean because it was virused it corrupted my dll32.exe and it just got worse from there. after a clean whipe it was all fixed. But i doubt you would use this decision if you had any large files you would need to save because stupid recovery drives being small.
