Posted November 25, 200915 yr Don't seem to be any problems, just been running a full range of diagnostics/malware scans after a mystery crash on boot up recently. Haven't found any hardware or software problems, and no more crashes, but here's my HijackThis log anyway - see anything wrong?

November 25, 200915 yr Administrator Log looks cleans. You may want to post the crash dump for analysis. :P
November 26, 200915 yr Author Wish I had one to post (I said it was mysterious). There was no crash dump, and nothing in the Event Viewer. All I know is, I turned the computer on and left the room for a minute - when I returned there was a black screen. I rebooted, got the "Windows failed to start normally" screen, told it to boot up normally, and it did. All seemed ok, until I tried running SUMO - it just showed a long list of programs it couldn't open (it couldn't open any of them). I re-installed it. System Restore wouldn't restore, said nothing had changed. Only other problem I found was that some sites I'd whitelisted in NoScript no longer were. Haven't had any more problems since.
