Sounds like a virus to me.
Start the pc up in safe mode and try running a full system scan with something like AGV (its freeware antivirus) or use your own Anti virus. If it picks up something, which it should, restart the pc and try your command prompt again. I had a similar problem a while ago with cmd, got a virus from Limewire.

If your computer hangs or reboots while you are working on it , it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This problem can be solved by uninstalling new softwares, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yk5zpr

That means, someone or a software manipulated your system files causing it to act abnormal. Try to use command.com instead and see if you have the same problem. command.com is the DOS version of windows cmd.com.
