Memtest ran all night, no problems. And no anti-virus.
Memtest ran all night, no problems. And no anti-virus.
First thing I would suggest is, scan for virus.
Make scans with the following:
-Kaspersky TDSSKiller
-ESET online scanner
Use MSE and Free version of MBAM. They're light on resources.
- Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows
- Malwarebytes - The Free version
- Good and Free system security combination.
Do not start the free trial of Malware Bytes; remember to deselect that option when prompted.
Run a full scan with both (separately) once downloaded, installed and updated.
Will continue troubleshooting after the results.
TDSSKiller says it found one threat, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 (Rootkit.Boot.Pihar.c), running the other one now.
Well blue screens have kept hitting me during the other test, I got an anti virus and ran an entire computer scan in safemode, it found a couple things, got rid of them and now I'm on my laptop because it is blue screening within a minute or two of logging in.
Did the clean boot, and didn't get a bsod right away, will start a little binary sort of the processes and see if it narrows down to something.
Eh BSOD are too inconsistent... when you boot up clean without the non-microsoft processes, that means they won't start up, but does that also mean they will not ever start up if you let your computer sit?
You can start them manually from the > All programs list.
Does the computer BSOD in safe mode?
