System hangs. Need help!

[xico]

My system is generally pretty fast, but I just did an install, and am using a former C drive which got locked into Safe Mode with an "Windows Protection Error," as my D Drive. The firs sign of the hangs started with Registry Mechanic, which I deleted. I also did a restore. If I stay on the desktop or go into D, everything seems to be working. But when I click on IE, it hands. I also use Maxthon as a browser; I can get to Google, but when I click on finding a website . . . like Win Zip it either freezes immediately, or when I begin the download. But even worse, I can't restart it with Ctrl-Alt-Delete; I've got to hit the restart button.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
