About a week ago our home pc, during boot up, has consistently been inconsistent in getting through to desktop. It often locks up and neither CTRL Alt Del nor pushing the power button does anything. I have to literally unplug it from the wall outlet and start over over. Sometimes it requires a second or third time of unplugging. To my knowledge I don't have a virus, but... I've run sytem tools (disk clean up, scan disk, and defrag) as well as As-Aware, but there has been no change. I think, my son has added a new program or game during this time period, but I can't say for sure that this is the source. Any suggestions?
