OK, I'm on my friends computer here, and it was slow as ----. As any good computer geek, i decided to run some anti-spywares, since he was getting many popups. So I start up adaware, update, and start a smart system scan. A Minute later... it blue screens. "System Login Process system Process has quit unexpectently" Ok, use safe mode to fix things then. In safe mode, I tried it again. Same blue screen. I'm thinking its some kinda boot virus that embedded itself pretty deeply in windows or something? I know the easiest sollution would be to do a nice little format, but it'd not to appealing to him as he'll have to back up his files. Suggestions?
if its embedded in windows, then get a live CD OS like slax or something. then run the scan in there. just my ideas on it.
Yeah, my friend had somthing similar to that on his pc. I tried the anti-virus and anti-spyware scans, but it just bluescrened halfway through. but he has some old piece of junk dell so we just re-formatted it with xp and that fixed it.
When it goes to BSOD there should be a code. 0x00000000 like that..actually there will be like 5, close to the bottom half of the screen. copy that and post it I'll see what I can do.. its probly last of the 5.
If the whole screen turns blue literally lol which i don't think you mean check to see if he installed a new mouse or hardware, when i plugged my mouse in my whole monitor turned blue, I think it was because one of my USB ports wasn't working, anyways If this is not what you ment please disreguard
try running avat... that should run before windows even fully starts up the first time gets a lot of stuff
I had the same problem mate, so i decided to take it to DELL (as that is what my computer is) and i took pics of the screen and they told me what was wrong and i'm sorry to say but if its the same blue screen then your friends hard drive is F---ed and will have to either get it repaired or buy a new one either way it is $$$$.
Usually the blue screen means: - You have a currupt drive and/or corrupt windows files - You have a corrupt or incompatible driver And the only thing you can really do is to replace them... so yeah...
The blue screen is appropriately dubbed "The Blue Screen of Death" because after it theres basically nothing you can do to recover the system. Youll need to reformat the computer. Try doing the CD OS, thats your best bet. . .
again, try avast, and if not check your hardware... when I was messing around OCing, I tried pushing my processor to 3GHz and I got few blue screens(primarily motherboards fault ohh well) so hardware instability is definately pheasible
Well I'm pretty sure he hasnt done anything with his hardware. He's not interested in making his system really extreme or anything, lol. Just going to try to convince him to reformat if an avast scan fails.
