Whenever I try to run a virus scan, or try to defrag my
harddrive, after sometime, the computer will just
abruptly restart. When windows loads back up, I get a
little window that says windows has recovered from a
critical error. Anyone have any ideas as to what my
problem is?
 
Steve,

Computer crashes can only be caused by a hardware issue or a driver that
isn't behaving.

I would suggest booting into Safe Mode and see if you can defrag from there
and let us know what happens.
