System hangs on the Welcome screen… when the desktop finally shows up there are no icons or taskbar. Only thing I can do is bring up the task manager. One day I just started ending processes until the icons showed up again. The system then crashed within minutes. At this point, I can get up and running by hitting F8 and using a previous config. that worked. Did everything on the self help page. Here are my HijackThis and AVG logs. Thanks in advance for any help…
