Soldier4Him Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 My computer is dying. I've moved into the family room on my parents. I think it has a virus that is slowly eating away all my stuff......I'm mad!!!! I'm gonna cry! Maybe it's just God telling me to go to bed. Or my computer telling me it's on overload. I unplugged it. I may not be on PM as often for a while til I figure this out.....PRAY FOR MY FRUSTRATION!!!!!! And my comp..... ~Alissa :crash: :crash: :crash: :crash: :crash: :crash: :crash: :crash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldier4Him Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 i go to the start menu, and go to connections, and then the start menu freezes up, and i can't get into it anymore. i tired going into the network connections through My Computer, but it froze up again. I tried to get into the help menu to do system restore, and now that won't work either. *SNIFF* *sniff...* *......sniff.......* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, have you tried going into Safe Mode and accessing it through there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colleen Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 [quote name='Theologian in Training' date='Jun 13 2004, 12:48 AM'] What version of Windows? [/quote] XP. I noticed it usually happens when I have at least 2 internet windows open, and music playing. It's also a laptop. A Dell. If that helps. I've had it since November and it's only in the past month or so that it's been doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen laptops get too hot and shut down as a result. Make sure that the plug is fully inserted into the battery. Also, you might scan for both viruses and spyware. First, look and see if you got the Blaster Worm, and if that is not the case, look around for spyware. Use AdAware or Spybot. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen laptops get too hot and shut down as a result. [/quote] I think it's 256. Yeah, I think it has to do with how hot it gets. But the thing is, it hasn't been doing that until fairly recently. Before, I could leave it on for a pretty long time and do all that stuff, and it'd be fine. But not now. Could there be something wrong with the fan do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier4Him Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 Mine is XP as well. It did that whole shut down thing too until I got rid of a worm it had. Go to the windows update thing, that'll tell you how to fix it. Anywho, I tried mine again. Now it won't even open the help center......or shut down!!!!!!!! I told you, this ----> :pebcam: :pebcam: :pebcam: is what it's doing! I can't run it in safe mode if I can't get to the help center! Is there another way to access safe mode????? Should I take my hard drive to the computer doctor? Is there such a thing? Is it DEAD?!?!?! HELP!!!! Maybe it's possesed..... :pitchfork: NOOOO! :bugeyes: I dunno what to do.... :scratch: My comp is :ill: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done Windows update and all that. I've scanned it on adaware numerous times. So I don't know what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
