I wont be using this PC much longer but just recently it crashes and after I turn it off and want to use it again I may need to start it many times to get it boot.

I get this Message for the Error after it finaly Boots to send To Microsoft like yea they will tell me what to do to fix it if I send it.
C:/Document 1\Brian\Localas~1\Temp\625c_appcompat.TXT

I am curently tring to move and also working 40 + hours of overtime a week so I dont realy have the time to Format the Disk and every one in the House needs the PC. Once I build my new one I will give this to my son So if I am wrong and it is not a OS problem I would like to fix that before I give it to him.

Any help or Ideas would be much appreaciated thanks.

Just reformat and reinstall windows...
and take out the heatsink and dust it... it's prolly killing ur system if u haven't done so for a long time..

Have you tried just deleting that file? It's in a temp folder so i'm sure it's not going to hurt anything to remove it.

It actually sounds virusish or spyware which like to hide in various locations. Do you run Firewall/AV software? Give that a shot and make sure you backup your files. Also, if it is a virus disable system restore and enable it later as a virus can inbed itself in restore.
