Here is a bit of a problem-- almost every single time, I sit down at my computer to play in a survival world. Just when I finish booting up the game, the computer will lock me out. When I say lock me out, I mean it. I cannot move my mouse, my keyboard does nothing, and nothing moves. I tried a different monitor that I had lying around and it still froze, just to check if it was the monitor. The only way to get out of this issue is to hold the power button for over 5 seconds, and wait, and restart it. When it gets to the home screen, it is as if nothing had ever happened. The folders, for some reason, are shuffled around, which is annoying, but nonetheless, it seems to be an annoyance more than anything. With that said, I thought it wasn't a problem, until it happened when I had Chrome open in the background while I was working on a TAS-editor for a video. It did the same thing, and I had to reset it.
So, I have come to a few standpoints-- either the memory usage is too high, granted 2.4GB of memory is a ton, but Minecraft seems to use a lot of it. I used the F3 button, and it looked like it memory dumped every single time. So that is one case. Another is that malware has gotten into it somehow, even though I do have McAfee, firewalls, and I scanned all system files multiple times, with nothing coming up. The PC has every service pack, 1, 2, and 3, but if I have another program open other than minecraft.exe or chrome.exe, nothing goes wrong. Please help me with this, I hope it is not malware or anything like that
Sincerely,

P.S. I will include picture later today of what happens.
