I have a asus machine that runs 64 bit vista and it has me stumped right now. At first when it loaded up, it would load up with no icons and then lock up so you couldnt get to the start bar and ctrl alt delete wouldnt work. I went into safe mode and rolled it back to about 1 month previous and started it back up. This time i had my icons roll up and some of the programs would start to load up but once loaded i cant click on anything as if it freezes but i can still move the mouse around and cntrl alt delete still wont work. So ive gone into safe mode and ran a virus scan and did a memory test and all came out fine. Can someone lead me into the right direction with what might be causing this

i am running the malwarebytes right now. I had did the memory test which is built in on the bios and that came back fine also. Also safe mode works perfectly fine too. it is a laptop so i dont know how you can really check overheating evern though that ussually is a main problem with them but for the case it does seem to get hot at all.

Thats what i was figureing but if maleware doesnt pick it up then i am really stumped on what software issue it is. I dont have restore disk and it doesnt have a partioned hard drive to put a new copy on so not sure what to do after this. And i spoke to soon, it just froze in safe mode...why when it freezes am i able to still move the cusor around but not click anything?

try a second time and see what happens

when i do a quick scan it finds nothing when i do a full scan it locks up
