I had the issue before Avast though , thats why I got rid of Norton because I thought Norton was the issue and replaced it with Avast.

I dont use Avast so I dont know Jason. Most AV's give you the opportunity of emptying their quarantine folders during an uninstall but if in doubt, delete the files before you uninstall it.

Ok. Well I am out of ideas now Jason. The more I read about your error message, the more I suspect your hard drive may be failing, especially after there were problems with your new profile after only a few days.
I know that chkdsk didnt report anything too major but each manufacturer provides utilities that test their drives and it would be a good idea to run one of these. I rarely work on hardware problems and am not the best person to help in these cases so it would be a good idea to post a new topic in the Hardware Forum and include your specs. I am sure that someone will recommend the correct utility. Good luck.

I guess the only thing left to do is restore to facotry default. I really dont think its the HD , I switched to IE 8 last week and right after the install the pc ran without any issues for a couple of reboots and nearly 48 hrs and than began the issue again.
I just don't understand why after a software install the issue would go away and the scan of the HD shows no bad sectors.

Perhaps corrupted files were replaced by the installation only to corrupt again as they were used.
I would be inclined to run the Manufacturer's HD diagnostic utility rather than rely on Chkdsk if I had doubts but it's up to you.
