Can you write down the exact error and post it here.

Although you say that you've checked for hackers, viruses, etc., it sounds possible that the problem could very well originate from some piece of spyware/adware. Have you run Ad Aware and SpyBot Search and Destroy to make sure there's no malware on the system? If not, I'd highly recommend you do so. Both programs are free downloads; pop the programs' names into a Google search to find download sites.

As far as the ntfs.sys error, that sounds like corruption caused by the crash. You might have to reinstall, but I'm not sure...
