For instance:
You must login or register to view this content.

I had the exact same thing bro. it happens when you log in when ur at the desktop wallpaper and it's like a cmd prompt, than it loads somthing in it really fast than dissapears.
I fixed it by:
Boot computer
Keep pressing ALT F10
Format computer to factory settings
Than that never happened to me ever again
Peace and good luck Smile
