What a Crisis! 2

Damn it! I had another computer problem. This time, the problem isn't as bad as the last time(check my previous post to find out). It all started when I open a file that(I didn't know) contained a kind of annoying spy ware. It kept putting a fake notice at the bottom right of the screen where the notification area is located saying a virus has been detected. It then popped an Internet Explorer window to an unknown site. After that spyware appeared,I also got an error with the following details: GetFile Drive layout:The system could not find the file specified( there's suppose to be another sentence after this one but it's all a blur to me). Other than all of that, it doesn't give me other serious problems. I tried to remove it using Spybot Search & Destroy. After removing some registry and files that were found to me malicious,I turned the computer off.

On the following day(which is today),I turned the computer on and ended up getting a Windows Blue Screen Error or BSOD instead. I couldn't boot up the computer even in safe mode. I had no choice but to format the computer's C drive only. It worked and I quickly installed the security software first including Spybot Search & Destroy but for some reason, as soon as I've installed it, Spybot S&D found spyware that have been found in a couple of Window's system files. I removed it and restarted the computer.

Unfortunately the computer had the same problem when I turned it on this morning so I formatted it again. This time, I installed everything I needed with the Nvidia driver and Spybot S&D last and restarted. And for the **** third time it happened again:the BSOD. After that I suspected that Spybot S&D is the cause behind these damn problems so I tried to confirm whether the Nvidia driver is the cause or not and found that it wasn't. For some reason Spybot S&D with its latest updates to date on this day detects some very bad fake-positive system files and caused the BSODs. Well, at least I still have a working computer.

BUT HERE'S A WARNING TO ALL U READERS: BEWARE OF SPYBOT S&D. THIS MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOU TOO!!!

What a Crisis!

Hi viewers and readers.I had a horrible problem during my Hari Raya holidays (19/9/2009-27/9/2009)until I had to delay my posts.The problem is MY COMPUTER BROKE!!!

It happened after my computer had a Windows Blue Screen Error or Blue Screen of Death(in short:BSOD).My computer's monitor couldn't detect signals after i restarted it to recover from the BSOD which means I cant see anything on the monitor as well as use the computer.Moreover,the whole thing turn on by itself after I press the main power switch without pressing the power button on the CPU.Luckily my brother came back university during the holidays.He helped and guided me in repairing the computer.We tried several methods.

Here is a chronological order of what we did to try to solve the problems:

1.Keep restarting the computer.

2.Clean the CPU of dust.

3.Change to various types of graphics cards.(The longest method we tried)Note:The graphics cards used were working fine on another computer)

4.Change the PSU(Power Supply Unit).

After the last method,the computer still can't work!My brother concluded that the motherboard is 'dead' so he went to my fathers cybercafe and ask for a working CPU.My brother and I had to transplant better computer parts from my old computer to the new one because some of them parts were weaker and others are not installed.There was a small problem with the new one though,which is that it can't support VGA cards.At the end,I'm now using a computer with the same power as the previous one but with a very downgraded graphics card.

Sigh...But at least i still have a working computer. :)

Well since that has been taken care of,I'll continue my studies for the upcoming PMR on 7th of October.Bye!
