Maribel, better to start your own question as your problem is not related to the rest of this thread. It's very difficult to tell but I have seen similar symptoms when the hard drive is faulty and get stuck trying to read/write to a particular area of the disc. If so, you either need to pay a professional to look at the computer and replace the hard drive if necessary, or buy a new computer.
If you fiddle with the BIOS settings you may be able to prevent the computer from starting Windows. But there is always a Default Settings option to undo any mistakes you have made.
Rex, I would try a System Restore to a date before your problem arose. Jon, look under the Performance tab in Task Manager. This distributes the physical memory between "Cached", "Available" and "Free". If you use the tab at the bottom of that page to open the Resource Monitor you can see a more detailed breakdown of memory use. "Cached" memory indicates (I think) memory in use. So Rex is suffering from 100% memory use. FYI, I have 4 GB of RAM on my computer and currently about half of this (1840 MB) is shown as cached.
