Title: Something's wrong with my PC
Post by: MarianRV on September 12, 2015, 02:16 PM
Some days ago somehow I managed to virus my PC. After I did "clean" it with the antivirus I thought everything will be ok but there are situations when these stuff start to pop out and I don't know what is going on.

Any help would be appreciated

Try to wipe TEMP folder.

Tried this idea just now. Let's hope nothing wrong happens

(And damn,my TEMP folder was quite crowded )

Too much anime in 1 post. Can't think clearly..

Btw, no worries Marian. Virus will probably run away on his own :)

I format my PC once per 3 month or smth, I just backup anything important, then format.

Also with this method, I always have a backup for my important stuff. Don't wanna lose those stuffs right?

What Antivirus program are you using? Some antivirus programs don't detect exact Trojans or Malwares, and sometimes delete some system files of Windows. I am using ESET NOD32 Antivirus 8 from 2 years, and my PC didn't even mess up at once. xd
But yeah, PC overheat might be because of corrupted processor or burnt capacitors.

Okay, virus might directly affect your PC's temperature. However, I'd clean it up from the inside anyway as it is one of the most common causes of overheating (bad ventilation because dust cloggs airholes).
Second, you can open task manager, check the process that's affecting your PC, find it's location, restart in safe mode and delete it, but that's still not as convenient as windows reinstall.

Sorry, but if you damaged your windows so bad (jumping errors out of the blue, overheating etc.) your best solution would be clean install, like Triad said.
Once your system files get damaged and corrupted, (even though you can try to use sfc/scannow in command prompt) your PC will never act as fast as before until you reinstall it.

I will think about this option aswell.
Tho those stuff really dissapeared after I got rid of stuff in .Temp folder and scanned my PC for viruses. Things seem to work fine at the moment but who knows...

Also Adnan, I am using ESET Nod32

Try Avira, it is one of the most demanding AVs out there, but it does the job perfectly, even the free version :)

What do you mean by demanding?

It's an acer.  Makes sense this shit would break.  Probably you already got more use out of it than you should have.

Reformat.

Heeey, don't insult Acers :D
My baby, after days of tuning and fking with Win10 is finally in the best shape ever :P

Tried to connect the PC to an external monitor in the hope that I might save stuff somehow but another problem arrived

When I turn on the PC, everything seems ok while the logo is on:
(http://i62.tinypic.com/28uinoo.jpg)

Oddly tho,exactly after that logo loading dissappears it just becomes like this:
(http://i61.tinypic.com/r10hlk.jpg)

Might this be caused by GPU failure?
Title: Re: Something's wrong with my PC
Post by: Marko on September 20, 2015, 10:13 AM
No, if the GPU failed, you wouldn't see the XP logo.
Try raping F8 while the PC is turning on and select "safe mode" option. If it turns on, well.... you've got a software problem, but there's still the laptop screen issue...

Ah...:/

Well,somehow safe mode managed to make a link between those. One friend is looking at it now.Hopefully some good news will occur

Try to boot up again and when you see the white screen press ''fn+f4'' it should reset the display configuration.
Otherwise this may be a drivers related issue that can be fixed with full format.
If it does not work, hit F2 during boot and if screen does not display, it is hardware related issue.
Also, make sure the power cord is connected for maximum power.

Check what is your monitor's native resolution and set it in Win after entering Safe Mode then reboot, this should do the trick.

Sutuation update: it might be busted more than expected.One theory would be that it is virused.I guess I will need to go to a place where some professionals can give me a clear verdict as I do not know what to do anymore.

Nevertheless, many thanks to all the guys here that actually tried to help me. I really appreciate it.

actually reinstalling windows might not be such a bad idea. You can do it by burning a Windows 7 image to an USB stick, and if you want to do it, I can write you simple instructions how to do it yourself, since it's relatively easy, but if you really wanna make sure it's not hardware, you gotta do a clean install (lose all the files).
If that shows to be a bad idea, maybe those two are right, not sure how old the laptop is, if it's worth fixing, depending on what has gone wrong in it.
Title: Re: Something's wrong with my PC
Post by: MarianRV on September 21, 2015, 06:33 AM
The next idea might be reinstalling the Windows indeed.
I am not opting for a clean install as there is like 2-3 years worth of data which  I do not want to lose xD.Ofc,if it is necessary I will have to do it.My plan for now is trying to backup all my data somewhere safe

Ok ,we managed to find someone that could check the PC and the most possible idea is that a specific cable is not working. We will go to a service soon enough and let's hope it will end well

Peace

won't paying for someone to look at it cost more than the value of your old notebook?  or maybe I'm just being american.  when something breaks here we just buy a new one.

Looking at it and finding the problem won't cost.Repairing would indeed
