hi there,
thanks for the detailed reply. I went into safe mode, downloaded the malwarebites and did an entire PC scan. The scan went on for approximately 50mins. Threats found were 0.
Here is something else you should know,
yesterday, 80% of the time when i started my laptop, the desktop screen was blank with the cursor only visible, the other 20% when the desktop appears with the icons, something happened. You know the icons on the bottom right. first the time and date comes, the sound icon comes, the wireless comes and then there is that small arrow that indicates that some more icons are loading...thats where the problem occurs... the icons do not load.... the desktop get stuck..and then in 3 mins.. u no the icons that are supposed to appear.. one by one an error pops saying that the icons encountered an error and then the the screen goes blank.
have any ideas as to whats happening here...

Hello,
Try this 1
Did your hard drive passed the HDD test successfully ?
Regarding Check Disk
Click on Start --> In search bar, type cmd. When cmd (Command Prompt) appears in the search list, right-click on it and select "Open as Administrator".
Now enter the below command.
chkdsk c: /f /r
Note: There is a spacing after chkdsk, c:, /f and /r
Press Enter.
If its prompt you to restart your laptop for the check disk process then restart your laptop.
Good Luck
