Finicky Driver Malfunction Issue

[Rhaokiel]

I don't know if this is malware or what... but I have performed a system hardware diagnostics test without a single detected hardware problem.

Anyways here's the issue,

1. my computer is a lot slower than normal
   
2. and every once-in-a-while the following happens:
   
   • I watch as the icons in the tray turn to disabled icons (battery, wireless, sound)
     
   • I lose control of the mouse
     
   • The keyboard appears not to work except for the winLogo which displays only the start menu profile icon (not the entire start menu)
     
   • and finally the entire screen goes black
     
   • followed by an error memory dump (blue "bios type" screen)
     

If I let it get to the point where it does the error dump... I will not be able to boot my computer without doing a system restore to the latest restore point.

If I zap the power before the point... I can restart my computer and it appears to function normally. (Albeit, still slow)

Any thoughts... I'll be back on late tomorrow for any advice.

Hi and welcome to Malwarebytes.

This doesn't sound like malware at all. I suggest instead posting in our PC Help forum.
