Virus scan your system, and make sure you patch your system using Windows Update.

Past that, I'd try updating your drivers for your motherboard, sound, and video.

Are you saying that you're running your system unprotected (no antivirus program)?

As for the drivers, you'll have to go to the manufacturer's websites to see what's available...but you'll need to know the make model or your motherboard, sound, video card, etc
