| 775475 | 2009-05-20 21:59:00 | The 8E error code; This is a very common bug check. To interpret it, you must identify which exception was generated. May also be reported as 0x1000008E. Possible causes: •Hard disk damage or failure •Configuration problems with the BIOS, memory, hard disk, or other devices •Incompatible device driver •Incompatible software As PCtek said -- if he used the CD that was in the drive :groan: Lots of those items that are in those type of CD's Fixes can be done manually, or with Free software and Knowledge. there are a heap with rundll32.exe hanging Highly unlikely thats a board problem. While The big name places can be a pain sometimes to get Hardware fixed HP for example have a GOOD policy -- Reinstall the OS - take it back to factory standard, IF the PC still plays up then they will look at hardware problems. If a "tech" relies on a CD like that to make a conclusive diagnostic and comes to the decision the boards faulty - their skill level is not very good. |

| 775477 | 2009-05-21 02:45:00 | Well it copuld be the viruses you removed were causing the crashes. Doesnt Conficker cause random shutdowns? | robjg63 (13548) | ||
| 775478 | 2009-05-21 03:04:00 | Rustock (trojan horse / rootkit) wasnt one of these files you removed was it?? This can cause that stop error. Did you write down WHAT viruses / malware were detected / removed? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 775479 | 2009-05-21 09:18:00 | One of the files removed was sys32.exe When I scanned, I used the original AV (Antivir - which said the computer was clean), Malwarebytes (which picked up 2 files including sys32.exe), and the current AV (Avast - which picked up the sys restore copies of those 2 files) Also when I was looking at the computer, I noticed the cd drive would keep coming to an abrupt halt and you could hear the disc sliding a little, so replaced that. Also replaced the old Fujitsu (20GB) hd with an old Seagate (40GB) Computer has now been on 24+ hours doing various tasks (played a few games, surfed the web. etc). No problems; nothing in event viewer |

| 775480 | 2009-05-21 09:54:00 | sys32 is certainly a bug Bit more info on it ( . greatis . com/appdata/d/s/sys32 . exe . htm" target="_blank">www . greatis . com) Just to be completely sure - get from my sig, Spybot S&D as well as Super antispyware . Malwarebytes doesn't catch every thing - no one Antispyware program will . Sounds like this so called "tech" is a cowboy or trying to make money by ripping people off -- wonder what he would say if he was told it was only spyware or possibly a faulty optical Drive causing the crashing :D |

Just glad I have saved family member all that money. Maybe I'll get a big Xmas present this year :D Yeah right :p Will do the other scans tomorrow after work and in the weekend. All going well it will be sent off then too or Monday |
