Validation of Windows 7 problem after updates.

Please check the RAM timings?

Attachment 331521

I saw that Arc. It's 2 different brands and speed of ram which is never a good idea. But, it can work. It's running it at a the lowest speed from what I can tell, and it passed memtest86. It can work like that, but I wouldn't want to try it. I don't know of a respectable computer shop that would do that. I suspect they just threw some used ram they had around in the machine instead of new ram. No shop that is knowledgeable would do that. But, I do know of a few that would, and charge you for new ram.

What I'm most curious about is all of the remote connections that are showing. Unless she uses that for some specific reason, I don't think they should be there. But, I'm not sure.

Remote connection or Desktop I know very little about because I have never used them.
Saying that; remote anything is worry some.
The ram is a problem but I don't know if its the problem. I have a feeling that their are many problems.

Glad you all come to help. The more eyes the better. That tuneup program could of and most likely caused many problems.

Hopefully when Lady post back we will have the needed information to make this old computer happy again.

My last old computer was a intel 775 socket. The power supply blew up so I replaced it and everything worked. Slowly piece at a time over a period of a couple of months different hardware in the system would go belly up. Finally I just sent the old system to the recycle station in town.
Their comes a time when you just have to get or build a new computer.

One-click tuneup things are not needed. Practically, windows 7 does not need any tuneup program. But if you want a program to do this job, we will suggest you one thing only, CCleaner.

If you want to know how to use it: CCleaner - Delete Junk Files

As the memtest86+ passes, I would suggest you next to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.

Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Before doing it, Read the items below ▼ very carefully:

   Information

Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

   Warning

Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip

• If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
• If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.

1. Click on the Start button
2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
3. Select the “Startup” tab.
4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus, egui for your case.
5. Apply > OK
6. Accept then restart.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

Lady please post the pictures I requested when you can. They will help.

You are not causing any headaches on this end.

Here are some easy things to do and some guidance on how to do them.
We use tutorials as much as possible because they are exact and you can always refer back to them.

By Brink:
Windows Defender - Turn On or Off

---------------------------------------------------------------

Now Java; most don't need Java. I haven't used it in years because of the security risk and I don't need it.

If you remove Java and you find out that a program that you like needs it you can always install it again.
If you do have and want to keep Java you MUST keep it updated. I would check daily for updates. Java is a huge security problem.

How to: Windows 7 and Vista - Uninstall Programs

1. Click Start
2. Select Control Panel
3. Select Programs
4. Click Programs and Features
5. Select the program you want to uninstall by clicking on it, and then click the Uninstall button.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Bing Tool Bar and Bing Desktop is something of choice.
I have found them to be trouble some and at times cause problems and use resources.

Again that is something that can be removed and if one gets a desire for them again, just install them again. Most find they like things without them.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Their are many ways to uninstall programs. I'm giving you the Windows 7 method.
It's pretty much fool proof and easy to do. The easy way.

*Start Orb
*Type Remove
*Tick on add and remove programs.

If the program is listed there you can uninstall (Remove) it from there.
If you find a program to remove and it isn't listed there just ask and we will show other methods.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now lets get this taken care of.

Screen shots are very important.
We can see things that help us help you.
When you post them it also let us know that you understand and followed the instructions.

I will give you another tutorial by Brink:
Take your time and learn how to use it. Any question just ask.
It's not difficult believe me. I can use it and I only got 3 brain cells.

I'm not sure why your ISP and or Eset would be in your computer.
Can you explain why this was done and what was done?
How are you sure that they were who they say they were?
Do you use a paid for version of Eset Security.

essenbe has brought that to our attentions. I will investigate.

Take care of these things at your own pace.

Lady, you have caused no headaches for us. This is what we do every day. We are happy to help you in any way we can. Do you have the Windows 7 Installation Disk? Have you created a system repair disk? It wouldn't hurt for you to create one. Here is a step by step instructions System Repair Disc - Create There is no hurry in doing this, but you should do it soon. Then label it and put it up so you will have it if you need it.

I was concerned about the remote access because of security problems. If you give anyone access to your computer, be absolutely sure you know exactly who they are. Don't believe someone just because they say they are from someplace you trust. Make sure they are who they say they are. A big scam right now is people calling saying they are from Microsoft and you need help with your computer. They are Scam artists and are looking to cost you a lot of money. Trust me, Microsoft will never call you to help with your computer problems. Those were some of my reasons for concern about remote access.
