pcworks,
Will you do me a simple favor before running off to your local electronics store…
Run a Diskscan and Defrag first.
Boot sector errors can and will slow a computer down to the point of a freeze.
Depending on what you have been doing with the HD, and how many changes you have made to the system in general, can affect the HD “scatter”.
Was your system running normally before Avast?
Thanks
