Windows 7 Freezing , Blank Screens, Slow and High Memory usage

[pr1970]

Hi All

I`m having serious problems with my windows 7 machine. It started yesterday when I was getting blank screens. TOday I turned on and its running very slow, freezing up and i noticed an svchost.exe process was using about 6gb of ram. I had to reboot about 5 times just to geta taskmanager up and then it would freeze up again.
I tried a windows restore to about 4 days before incase it was some virus but it hasnt fixed the problem. Everything is ok in safe mode and i`ve tried running dr web virus checker aswell as installing norton antivirus and malwarebytes on an old windows xp installation on the same pc but theyre not finding anything.

Any ideas? Really dont fancy having to reinstall windows.

Thanks

Paul

Try performing a clean boot to see what application is causing the issue. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ation-conflicts-performing-clean-startup.html

Thanks. It seems ok now after I did a clean boot and also installed 3 different malware tools that found a couple of things. Nothing looked obvious though as to what was causing the problems but seems ok now.
