748911 2009-02-18 04:42:00 I have recently had a couple of issues with my PC that have finally rendered it useless. Firstly the keyboard became intermittent, requiring me to fiddle with the connection to motherboard every now and then. Yesterday I tried to read a CD which I have had no issues with previously and found that the CD/DVD writer has also decided to give up, it is still powered, opens and closes but is not reading i.e. D: shows up as empty. I wasn't sure if this could be due to a wireless antenna with magnetic base being placed on top of the case? In any case shouldn't be too expensive to replace.
Today, when booting the PC it snapped into a loop of restarts and eventually ended in a blue screen of death error "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" and "STOP: 0x0000000a". Any suggestions or ideas to fix any of this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

748912 2009-02-18 05:04:00 Whats the specs of the system,?? Did you install anything as in programs, or hardware recently?

Have you done a scan for malware recently?

748913 2009-02-18 05:12:00 Thanks for the reply. Good question, its Intel about 2.4GHz, 1GB RAM with 128MB graphics and 40GB HDD, sorry I can't be more specific. System is now booting but stalling as desktop loads. Mouse and timer in centre but nothing seems to be happening...

Was setting up ADSL voip router last night but doesnt require any program installation as far as I know.
No recent scans for malware but up to date Antivir installed with resident guard.

748914 2009-02-18 05:15:00 If its in windows now get malwarebytes below then update it then scan.

See if it picks anything up

748915 2009-02-18 05:22:00 Thanks for suggestion but it is freezing and not responding as the desktop loads. JMoore (9352)
748916 2009-02-18 05:26:00 See if it can boot into safe mode / network option.

Hold F8 down (if the system gives an option to boot from whatever using F8, press F5 instead)

Then get malwarebytes and hijackthis below

Update it then scan. Then install / run hijackthis click on scan the system and save a log. Copy and paste the log in here

748917 2009-02-18 06:04:00 Was unable to boot into safe mode with networking, kept rebooting after log in screen. Managed to boot into safe mode so I will use USB drive to sort malwarebytes and hijackthis, copy log and paste in next post. Thanks again. JMoore (9352)
748918 2009-02-18 06:11:00 Hmm once or if you manage to get both of those to work. After you reboot try selecting last known good config. See what that does Speedy Gonzales (78)
748919 2009-02-18 06:34:00 Yea no worries getting both programs to work in safe mode without networking however was obviously not able to update Malwarebytes. Did a quick scan anyway and came up clean. Log for HJT below.
