I had a similar problem with my Windows 7 PC a year or so back. My guess was a virus, but I didn't establish what the cause was. You may need to do what I did and reinstall the O/S, I'd imagine you can still access bios to boot from a CD. I bought a reinstall disc from eBay for about a fiver and had the PC back like new in an hour or two. Just make sure it covers the Windows 7 version you use and identify (and write down) the exact product key number before you start (free keyfinder download from Download.com). Obviously save anything important to CD or memory stick first. I also keep a bootable CD of Linux Mint to use for internet access in emergencies. You may find your PC has a recovery facility of its own. I know Acers do.
