Hi there, have had problems with computer for few months, first noticed laptop kept on freezing up, did antivirus scan, tried with avast (already had it installed before the laptop started playing up) avast could not complete the scan and kept on freezing, tried with AVG says ok, but still having problem, used spybot S&D and apparently cleared it, but laptop still freezes up, so tried with avast and the scan just doesn't complete, in boot time scan does not progress beyond "c:\programfiles....ion\ko\CLI.Component.Dashboard.resources.dll and when logged in and using interface does not progress beyond "c:\programfiles\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Implement...\CLI.component.Eeu.resources.dll Just tried another AVAST scan and the laptop froze up and shut down. I will be away from the computer for the next few days..so please dont lock this thread, i will reply as soon as i get back. Thank you, any help is really appreciated.

Hi askey127

Ok so uninstalled avast, and installed the antivir as per instructions. immediately after the installation the antivir started its own scan which did not find anything. I ran the system scan which froze upon reaching the same file location as described in the first post.

sj123,
I don't see any malware on your system.
If the machine were mine, I would be thinking about a bad or corrupt driver, possibly for the graphics function.
I would go online and see if there are any driver updates for the ATI graphics system in the laptop.
Also check the manufacturers forum to see whether others have had freezing problems on that model.

At this point, I think the solution to your problem now is a bit outside our expertise here.
It will be more suitable for forums that specialize in Systems and hardware issues.
