when using the above products,
yet i can still acess the internet and download some files, not all
after a while the pc frezzes and i have to reboot.
i have scanned for a virus (no joy)
i have used spypot (no joy)
i have used adware (no joy)
i have also used stinger (also no joy)

however i went into msconfig
unticked a few items in start up and everything was fine

i cannot see what is wrong and what im sopposed to do next..
do i need to format the harddrive?

Check your CPU temp. Perhaps it's getting too hot. Encoders put more load on a processor (as you would imagine), and its temperature rises because of this.

Are you overclocking? If so, cease, and see if that helps.

If you're not overclocking and your CPU is too hot (say, above 60 C), then your heatsink/fan may need replacing.
