They'll probably do the same thing

878733 2010-04-22 21:06:00 The Dell Diagnostic Utility in the link I provided is the same as on the resource CD. inphinity (7274)
878734 2010-04-23 01:42:00 Right. After about 30mins after I typed that last post the pc freezed when I tryed to open a PDF and a restart the pc would only load to the welcome screen again like it was doing. after about a hour of restarting the pc and opening it up and checking all cables I have got into windows again but its not nice. There was 4865 files in the tmp folder under windows.

Running a virus scan at moment and spybot again.

The only things pluged into the pc is my monitor and wireless keyboard/mouse set and printer but its off.

Have removed the power cable and held the power buttom it and left it for 5 mins but was still freezing at welcome screen.

Im out of ideas now.

Tryed putting the Dell Diagnostic Utility on USB drive but its not booting on startup so cant check if its a hardware error.

878735 2010-04-23 02:19:00 Get rid of spybot and use malwarebytes and do a full scan. Remove the hdd and put it in another system, if you've got one. Then scan it Speedy Gonzales (78)
878736 2010-04-23 03:26:00 Ok will get that now and run it. no other system to test hdd in will not fit in my netbook. :( bluezone (12434)
878737 2010-04-23 08:14:00 Right download and installed it and got 4 things.

878738 2010-04-23 08:34:00 Click on remove selected to remove them, then reboot. No point leaving them there Speedy Gonzales (78)
878739 2010-04-23 08:43:00 Done and it restarted ok and hasnt freezed yet.

Just 1 other thing I just seen there is 2 OS installed on the same HDD both are XP pro how do I remove the other os thats not used?

Mite this be the problem having 2 OS of th same type installed on the same partion. Dont no why there is.

878740 2010-04-23 08:53:00 2 OS's are fine, if they're on different partitions (on the same hdd). I've done that here. Does EasyBCD (neosmart.net) work with XP ? Speedy Gonzales (78)
878741 2010-04-23 09:13:00 Thing is they are both on the same partition. Any way to remove the other 1 without formating the full partion? bluezone (12434)
