need more info

what Operating System
what brand if any HP, IBM, Toshiba, Sony <- all of these are your problem
what did u recently do to it, installed dodgy software, installed a 7 disk program and it glitched.....etc
who else uses it

check your settings, power settings, not sure if ill ask u to check ur hardware settings im not paying for it!
check your power points with something else like a TV or something big and sucks power - do at own risk

If you've never defragged ever sometimes it can upset all sorts of routines. I've only encountered it a few times; but just restarting the computer helps.
