Windows XP. Computer continually stops responding

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



My computer has suddenly started not responding. This happens with All my
programs and when on the internet. I have to disconnect the power and restart
to clear the problem. It then locks up again as soon as I start a program.
Computer works fine in safe mode with networking EXCEPT in safe mode I do not
have any audio devices loaded so cannot use Skype. I have tried system
restore but it will not let me pick a restore point earlier than the day
before. Can anyone help
