| 830540 | 2009-11-15 23:13:00 | First things first, I assume your running Anti Virus and have scanned? Also a Spyware scanner? | Battleneter2 (9361) | ||
| 830541 | 2009-11-16 02:36:00 | Start fresh. Reformat and Reinstall As much of a hassel as it is, you will notice a huge speed increase, not to mention cleaning out crap. otherwise, post a HiJackThis Log |

| 830544 | 2009-11-16 05:35:00 | Then do a Memtest. (http://www.memtest86.com/) | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 830545 | 2009-11-16 06:39:00 | A PC that old, I wouldn't rule out a hardware issue, but McAfee isn't great either. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 830546 | 2009-11-16 22:08:00 | Hi guys! Cleared CIMOS using JP14 jumper on the mobo and it works. Almost, but McAfee stopped working, despite being installed and PC is connected to the internet . I have another pc sitting on the same modem and using it at the moment. Can it be Telecom problem, temporary? Thanks |

Thanks Please try running a full scandisk of your C: drive for possible bad sectors or at least a Chkdsk at a command prompt. These types of threads are largely stabbing in the dark, but your symptoms fit possible bad sectors or Ram issues. You can test ram issues with Memtest86++ or similar. I am leaning hardware over software(or virus) from what you have said so far. |
