System Restore

May 23, 2007 5:58AM PDT

I was playing a computer game and something weird happened and the game icon and an icon for a dvd burning thing sort of amalgamated. Then the game would suddenly freeze. I wanted to do a system restore but the computer won't do it. I pick a date and press the button, the computer switches itself off, then when it comes back on again it tells me it couldn't restore itself.
I uninstalled the game and the amalgamated icon disappeared.
I just tryed to load a different game and halfway through the installation it said it couldn't load all the files. It seemed to work anyway then it froze just like the last time. I tried a system restore again but it refuses to restore itself.
I have no idea what is going on.
