    Icons locked on desktop


    Just recently having problems with not being able to open icons on desktop. I can on initial startup, but after opening one here or there things go south. Seems to be some sort of "freezing" going on because I need to reboot every time when this happens. Sometimes I can't even reboot from the start button. Need to go into start task manager to restart. No spyware, malware issues. Everything is up to date and clean. Maybe I can send a event viewer log? Thanks for the help.

    No over clocking. Seems to have calmed down for some reason.
