So here's the thing, my computer was running completely fine albeit kind of slow until about 2 weeks ago. Everytime I log on it will go through the motions of loading and BAM! freeze, I can't do ANYTHING. . .I have run virus scan and spyware scans because it also displayed an error message before windows would even load. . .it doesn't do that now though. Norton found a Trojan Virus which as far as I know I have gotten rid of through various anti-virus maneuvers. I have also tried Norton's Bootable Recovery and that found nothing as far as a virus or anything.

I booted the computer up into Safe Mode with Networking and it's working pretty much like the regular mode should except obviously it's limited and I can't get to my OneNote that I need.

Can anyone pllllleeeaasse help me? I am not exceptionally computer savvy so any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it will boot and run in safe mode and not in normal mode, that usually means you have a driver problem. Have you changed any hardware recently?

What are the specs for your system?

As far as I know I have not changed any hardware recently. . .I tried looking up the specs in Control Panel . . .It stated that the Processor and Installed RAM info was unavailable. . .I have a standard Toshiba L505D laptop computer. . .and another thing. . .something is eating through my memory. . .it's saying I only have 808MG of 223GB free which is pretty much impossible

If it is something with a driver, how would I be able to figure out what driver is giving me the problem?

808MB of 223GB free
