When I start the computer up, it takes several minutes to come up with the user screen, and once that's up, again 2 or 3 minutes before I can click on my user name. The "tone" that sounds when windows has/is loading is drawn out, and changes in volume. Pages sometimes take forever to load. Sometimes, when I thought I've turned the computer off for the night, it's on when I get up, as though I've rebooted instead of turning it off. Cursor is very jumpy on the screen, almost as though delayed in movement. Also problems seem to occur more in firefox than in IE, although evident in both(slow loading, etc) Thank you in advance!

Somebody doesn't want me using this forum :lol: Last time I had a virus, posted, then the comp shut down, had to take it in. This time I posted for a possible virus, my power supply went a few hours after, and it's still in there- he's clearing it up. Thanks anyway, and sorry!
Sorry your having problems, that power supply could be the culprit. This thread will be closed in a few days, if it is and you need to post back just start a new topic Ken
