Timmo Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 a little more detail... or clarify your post... if its freezing you should try swapping your ram for some spare and see if it does it still. or if it fails try graphix card. try pulling all pci cards out. after trying all hardware except motherboard and still nothing re-install os. sounds like a driver if its working in safe mode. try updating drivers. it could be anything so just troubleshoot till you find it. last thing if your stuck try installing all your parts into another motherboard to test.

cla159 Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 ok so you want me to clarify so basically its like this its progressively getting worse me and a couple of my friends who are comp techs think its virus eating all my memory. or it could be an "antivirus" program becuse that tryies to open and then it freezes and i cant delete that from the safe mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroBeat Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 www.sysresccd.org special linux live distro for getting files out from damage comp, fixing errors, recover deleted/damage files, format and stuff like that, should be able to assist you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 sounds good ill try that but im still open to stuff Like others have said, a live disc(no risk of infection or virus running) and then copy the files to a portable drive. Otherwise, kiss your stuff goodbye and format that hdd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Insure the thing, put it next to an open ground floor window in clear view of the road, remove anything valuble from room, lock door, visit pub, return and call insurance folks/police.
