| 730961 | 2008-12-19 06:34:00 | Start it up, it loads, gets into windows for about 15 seconds then reboots, I can boot it in safe mode and it runs fine for a while, have checked with antivirus and spybot and only 1 trojan found. I'm suspecting a virus or trojan, nothing un-toward in the processes though that I can see. Any good apps for a sweep of the drive?:help: |

| 730962 | 2008-12-19 06:41:00 | Boot into safe mode / networking, then get trojan remover. Direct link (www.simplysuponline.com) Install update, then click on scan. Then select all options under utilities |

| 730966 | 2008-12-20 03:41:00 | Update I removed the drive last night and installed it another pc and scanned it, only one trojan found and successfully removed, scanned with Avira & Malwarebites as well and no issues found . Reinstalled the drive into the original pc and it's still booting and logging straight off . I then booted in safe mode, recovery console and was about to make some changes to the drive when the pc shut down again . Now it won't even restart, not a beep, all that runs is the fan on the power supply and on one occasion the drive did spin up but no cpu fan nada . Now I'm thinking either a faulty power supply or blown caps on the MB, a couple of the larger ones do look rounded on the top with residue traces . . . . Anyone got a sledgehammer I can borrow . . . . ? :badpc: |

| 730968 | 2008-12-20 03:52:00 | Ha it's not mine It's one I said i'd have a look at for a friend, doesn't look good I might try swapping a power supply but when the drive spins up but no case or cpu fan I'm more inclined to think it's the board, I wonder if that was the original problem too, with the rebooting... |

| 730969 | 2008-12-20 04:35:00 | The old dreaded bulging caps! Had one of those boards and replaced the caps, but with a P4, not worth it . Well, at least your friend knows what to ask Santa for!! |
