Computer acting eerie

[PcEthuaist]

I just restarted my computer, and the bot menu where it normally dislays the intel logo it had also a pentium logo instead of the regular centrino one ( I have a centrino). When I normally boot, I also have a boot password that I have to enter, that wasn't even there, it went straight into windows. When I came here to look for answers, every single post in threads had the number 18 at the end of the sentence.

What could be the cause of such?

EDIT: after noticing the 18 problem, I used microsoft's fix it tool to fic my host files incase they were the problem. The point is, I had to restart for that and windows started to check my disk for errors and it found a treasury full of corrupted parts. Now I wonder could it have been the corrupted parts? maybe not since I still get the '18' problem.
