TBH it sounds like HDD is borked

But Re. the 69 proceeses running thing, I suspect you have a lot of these starting on bootup - that can be changed in msconfig

how do u get it into safe mode? it loads its pentium screen bios thing that you can press f2 on and change a few options on then goes to a black screen and after a minute says disk error, press any key to restart
