The first problem sounds like it may be a problem with your windows os. Did you try running it in safe mode? See if you might have a virus and run a virus scan in safe mode, or possible defrag it in safe mode.

Your second problem, make sure your video card drivers are up to date. Go to the manufacturer of your card's website, and download them. Or, you can go the the system, device manager window, and find your video card adapter, and update it through there (you must have internet connection for this to work).

Get the demo of "paragon justboot corrector" it can be burn
to a self-booting cd, and use it to see if your os is on the
c:drive(and didn't get changed to a different partition),also
you can check the boot.ini file to make sure it's not corrupt
or has unrecognizable characters in it.This is the only program
that I ever tried that actually fixed my nonbooting winxp pro
computer.
