Hello all
My computer went from a very fast gaming rig to utterly useless in the matter of a week. I will start with basic specs then follow with symptoms and problems.
Intel DB975XBX2 board
2.4 Dual core processor
Nvidia 8800gtx card
Kingston 4gb ram
1x Raptor 60GB 10K rpm drive (main system here)
1X 250GB secondary drive, used for movies, etc..
Windows XP SP2
The problem started with the computer getting quite slow. I knew I had some form of a virus because I would get error messages and crashes. I went from 100fps in games to 15 at most. Internet became slow, etc.
I downloaded various anti virsu programs and figured I had multiple Trojans, spybots, etc. Basically everything!
Two days ago I go to boot my computer, everything is as normal until where I should have reached the main logion page where I click to enter my account.
Instead, the background is black, and a Windows box appears asking for a password to the Admin account. I have NEVER had a p.w. setup to login, I left the password blank and clicked OK. Windows began to boot, it paused at my desktop background for 1min or so, without loading icons or start bar.
I hit CTR ALT DEL, and a error message comes up saying admin has disabled task manager. Me enire desktop appears to be the same though, same icons etc.
There is a new thing called Windows Radio and TV Manager in the programs next to the clock. Never seen that before.
Within the next 15s multiple error messages, things like ctfmon.exe, other random things. Then all icons and task bar dissappear and I see blank desktop for 5s then a quick flash of blue screen, then a dark monitor.
Every time I bot it does this. Safemode is a no go (hitting F8 while booting doesnt work), and I dont have time to mess around in Windows before the crashing starts.
I am in desperate need for advice. What can I do... Is there something I can do that will give you guys more info...
I have all the stuff that came with my comp inlcuding the driver CD`s, Windows boot CD etc.
I would appreciate opinions and ideas. I do not know very much about trouble shooting, and when safemode wasnt accesable, I didn`t know what to do!
Thanks in advance, I will try and answer further questions or run test.
