You may have a virus in the background. Some viruses shut down access to the task manager (so you can't access them in the running processes list and shut them down). Try running a few virus scans. We have a thread with a few scan programs if you don't have one on your computer.

This is link to a download of Lavasoft Ad-Aware - a free spyware program that I run separately from my anti-virus.

EDIT: Try running your virus scan and the ad-aware scan in Safe mode as well
