My operating system keeps stopping, randomly. It's been like this for awhile and I can't figure out why. When it does, the keyboard is no longer recognised, the mouse is no longer recognised, my DVD drive is no longer recognised and I have to pull the plug out the back of my machine, sometimes it happens in succession and it takes 3 or 4 boots to actually do anything.

Windows doesnt know theres a problem and as such is of no help. it's been doing my head in, I've been doing virus scan after virus scan and nothing has found anything wrong with my machine. Earlier today I was doing a system restore in a last attempt to try and fix it, and it wouldnt start. Had to run startup repair which said I had a corrupted registry.

If anybody is willing to help me I'll post a HJT log. But even if somebody can point me in the right direction...

Thank you for your time.
