I recently just built a computer with AMD 64 3200. My computer was on for about a day and i left it on over night with a couple programs running and also downloading some stuff. Then when i wake up its off. when i try to turn it back on it doesnt start at all. No Lights, fans , noises , nothingstarted. the only thing that i saw working was the ethernet plug was lit up but thats it. Im wondering if its the power supply, mother board, or processor which i think it is. also is there a way to check if the processor
I was downloading some music and a movie for my sister through Azureus. I went to a torrent site and chose the file and began to download. However, when I started to download Azureus immediately shutdown. I did not understand why so I re-opened the program and, again, it shutdown. Not knowing what was happening, I decided to open the file's folder in my documents. However, as soon as I tried to, the window closed. It was at this time that I began to think I had a virus. So, I opened my AVG and ran a scan. As soon as the program scanned the folder the files were in, I was given a message stating that the program encountered a problem and needed to be shutdown.
I have been unable to use Norton Virus scan because before the scan completes, the computer shuts off and the indicator light turns orange like it is in hibernate mode. I have to physically disconnect the power for five seconds to reboot. Is there a way to scan the computer for viruses or remove a particular virus that may be causing this?
Recently my computer just started restarting itself. I haven't quite pinpointed when yet but it seems that it does it when i'm running IE or downloading something. It just does it randomly.
Is there a program that will allow me to block my kids from downloading programs and or music from the web. I don't want them to be able to download or install anything without some type of authorization process.
i left pc downloading something for 3 hours , without doing nothing else and when i got back , it started to crash and restart explorer.exe everytime i close my computer / control panel/folder i made on desktop.
I have windows xp and just downloaded service pack 2.Before this I ran with only 32 - 35 processes. After downloading I starting running 48 -51 processes and making my computer very slow.
I wanted my xp to look like vista..so i downloaded "longhorn" but after completing all the process of longhorn my parents told to keep the xp look only.I thought to restore the pc on early time of 1 day ago.But after restoration its written on my monitor that there is some prob.in operating system maybe corrupt.
I believe its a problem with the actual start up button instead of the computer itself, ive pried the thing open, seeing the generator is on, everythings in place and there are lights on, showing there is power. any ideas?
PC Keeps crashing and stuff when it is left alone even for 5 minutes.Sometimes does it when I have several applications running and also during gameplay. It never used to do this. I also have recently installed 2 adventure games, Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung Software.
It all started with my Firefox randomly crashing when it felt was necessary. now i just tried using my windows media player and got the message "wmp is not installed properly and must be reinstalled - do you want to go to the site and download it". and when i restarted after i thought WMP just closed incorrectly the last time, i had the windows XP theme loaded (i use, and prefer the classic look). ps. my WMP is still fungooed. posting a HJT log.
I installed windows the other day and it wiped everything off the puter, is there any way to get it back?i had photos that i cannot get back and music etc, even some of my projects?
I share a wrieless internet connection with the main computer in our house. Mine is in my room. Everytime I restart my computer, or log off, whatever, and log back in, my internet, msn and stuff like that, do not work. It says it cannot be found, or try connecting later (something like that) Its not my wireless thing because The signal is there and reads 90%. But when I click on Limewire, a message pops up and says a firewall restriction oor something like that. I have Mcafee firewall and so I tryed turning off the firewall.
there was a whole bunch of porn on my Win Media player 10, I no longer can open an albw by hitting send because send does not exist in the drop down menu , stuff like burn list, and rip do and I have never had it like that. The worst is that there are files now on my puter that I cannot open because they say they are password protected, like the winZip and some other stuff I am using XP sp2 I have Pen 4 1.80 ghz and I am pretty low on mem ihave been using an accelerator til i get paid to buy some memory, a recent new thing I did was I d/l'd WINMX I tried emule but Norton sent me a notice of something being unsafe so I removed that, I installed Skunk RealArcade but right away these probs I am speaking of started so I dumped that.
I am encountering a few errors with my PC that seem to be unsolvable. Nobody here has been able to help me with them so I have decided that I want to reinstall Windows. However, I am wondering if there is a way to do this without deleting all my programs? In other words, can I do it without formatting my PC?
I would like to delete all user accounts except one but before I do how can I move some of those user files over to the user I will keep without them being moved as shortcuts? I would like to create copies not shortcuts.
I've got Windows XP Pro, SP2. Say your mouse quit working. Isn't there a way to move around and select stuff with the keyboard? I've looked in "Help" but I must not have known how to phrase it because I could find nothing. Could somebody please tell me where to look?
It's not the biggest problem in the world but all of the games provided by windows have just disappeared. Literally I logged on, went to play spider solitaire and it wasn't there! And I haven't done anything to it. If anyone knows of a way of getting them back that would be helpful. And also Windows deleted the flash player device, just randomly. And I've downloaded it again but it still doesn't work.
I've got some kind of spy/adware that has replaced my wallpaper with a big sign saying I've got spyware and to click a link to remove it. When I right click the wallpaper and select properties I don't get any of the normal options. Also, in the tray by the time (in the bottom right of the screen) is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark which periodically says I have spyware and launchs a pop-up. Furthermore, my internet speed has slowed right down. I've just run various spyware and adware programs and done a TrendMicro online check and deleted all the files it found, but the problem won't go away.
Alright, my in laws are having a problem with their computer and they said that last weekend Windows XP (SP3) asked to reactivate so they did without a hitch. I've never had a computer ask to do that unless I changed some hardware (which they did not) but maybe it's just never happened to me! So last week (a couple of days after the reactivation) they said weird things started happening. For instance if you go to the start menu to active windows, it comes up with a blank screen, the Windows search function comes up with a green screen and the little dog but that's it, IE doesn't load unless you type in an address and I couldn't get any web page to load that uses Active X. I ran the Kaspersky online test with no problems found and I couldn't run the antivirus from Eset because it requires Active X. Windows media player also doesn't load, it just brings up a blank screen. My father in law was able to defrag the computer though. I didn't have much time to really play with it so I'm not 100% sure what else isn't working but I know Firefox, Utorrent and VLC work fine. Has anyone had a similar problem or know where I should start to fix this?
All of a sudden, I don't seem to be an administrator here any more. I've been trying to download some stuff that requires that I be an administrator on this computer to install. It so happens that I'm the only one using it. Could some setting have been inadvertently changed? I'd appreciate anything you can say or do to fix me up.
I been using my PC for a few years now & it's been fine ever since, but now every time I start my PC every application transforms into a different font/style before going back to normal. My system is a XP Home SP2 & I'm using Firefox as my browser. The last month I have been going through spyware/malware cleaners, used everyone one of them including Hijack This. The problem does not seem to be spyware.Now the problem all started when I clicked on some website when I was searching for an old obscure foreign band, at that moment my browser turned into a completely different style for a second.
My desktop icons and task bar disappeared , i cant right or left click but i can pull up the task manager and get online and stuff, ive pulled up a couple of different solutions that helped momentarily but after i shut down and started again i had the same problem.
I have just bought a new hard drive, partitioned it, and had some stuff copied to it.I then deleted the partitions, and set some new ones up (was changing the size of the partitions). I havent put anything on the disk yet.Then, i realise i want some of the stuff (new emails i just received using mozilla) that is on my new disk, prior to me changing the partitions.Is there any way of checking what is on the new disk? I assume windows hasnt actually written over the stuff that i just put on ther
My XP home edition was on my PC at purchase time along with all the extra stuff that HP Compaq bundled up and added on. My rescue disks and my rescue partion on drive D all have their stuff and I really do hate it. Each time I have had to reinstall XP, I have to go through the hasle of uninstalling and deleating their stuff (it's all just a waste of space as far as I am concerned). If I were to purchase a Windows XP disk, can it be installed on this HP machine? Can I do that? So that I can be rid of the HP stuff that I don't like.
I am trying to download some stuff from bittorent. But I am unable to because there is not enough space on the disk. This is strange because my computer's hard drive was recently cleaned.
