Requesting assistance

I have a problem with my computer which have become something of a real nuisance by now.

Whenever I use my computer at some point the "window" I'm in minimizes as if I had done an "ALT+TAB".

It occurs randomly whenever I use my computer, though mostly when i play games, and it's not limited to a single game/program.

I have run Virus scans spyware/adware scans, and I have even reformatted my computer without any success.

It has never been a problem before, but have started occuring recently.
It have started occuring during the last few weeks and no more than a couple months.

Anyone have any idea what could be the cause and/or suggestions I would like to hear it, as some games I play "chrashes" when it happens.
Aparently they don't like the "alt+tab" function too much.

are you hitting the windows key by accident?

Thats what makes it so damn annoying, I'm usually nowhere near that key, or the keyboard for that matter when it happens.

The key would in that case have to be so sensitive as to react to me breathing on it, and that is most definately not the case.

The day I see a keyboard with keys that sensitive is the day I stop using computers.

I would rather suspect something running in the background that overrides whatever I'm doing to "show" me something, onl that all I see are my windows desktop.

Do you have error reporting on and do you have Hijack This?

I have error reporting on, but I don't get any error messages when in happens.

Just installed and ran a scan, didn't make me much wiser exactly.

Below follows the log from the scan, maybe someone else can see something I can not.

The alt-tab part is possible from scheduled updates to programs, or notifications from programs. As for crashing, it may be heat related, as you have had those problems in the past.

Just because you have error reporting on, doesn't mean it will tell you, but it will log it to a file. Right click on My Computer, then select Manage. From there, click on Event Viewer. You can then select it to how you want. I would suggest sorting by Date, and checking out all things that happened around the time you get the crash.

As for your Hijack This log, you can analyze here, but from the looks of things, you are ok.

What I meant by chrashing was that some games, "locks up" after the "alt+tab" thing.

When I go to the task manager, it says the program does not respond.
