I've had the same problem, and mine even begins when I first turn the
computer on. It boots up VERY slowly, and when I try to open internet
explorer, or any other programs that I have on my computer they either won't
open, or after a couple of minutes they lock up and say "Not Responding".
When I ctrl-alt-del the same thing happens...black screen and then the same
error message. After extensive research on the web, with suggestions such as
replacing your entire hard drive (and since I got my computer a month ago,
definitely not feasible), I found a suggestion that actually worked for me.
I had an antivirus software installed which included spyware software, and
then I also added another spyware software as well, figuring that what one
didn't catch, another would. Apparently there is some sort of software
conflict in having both these programs together, even if they don't run at
the same time. I uninstalled the second spyware program, rebooted, and now
my computer is as fast as it was the first day I got it, and the cntl-alt-del
works normally.
