    As gregrocker alluded to I would suggest either a clean install or a repair install.

    Repair Install

    Clean Install Windows 7

    powerbiosservicer seems to be related to hotkeys in sager machines. Maybe you could disable hotkeys and see if this solves the problem.

    I did superantispyware again and now i see 112 items. I had 117 earlier and removed it.


    Is there a reason this shows up again?

    You didn't complete the removal or reboot.

    Few nights ago i posted on a forum asking a question in a macforum and it was with my asus laptop and it was related about

    IPhone Skype Calling To the USA for American visiting Europe? - MacRumors Forums


    A person private messaged me on how to fix this issue. He also posted in my thread and said sent you a pm. I dont click on ppls links they send me directly but when this guy sent me the link, i always just copy and paste it to the toolbar to see if its the actual link. Instead it shows api.viglink so i wasn't goign to click on it. Basically this person sent me a link for enabling google voice in hangouts to allow incoming calls. I then later on with that api.viglink there, i entered it accidentally b/c i forgot i had deleted the link to the toolbar. I then logged into my acct and couldn't fix this issue.


    The thing was at that time, i then got worried b/c i wondered if that link could have been a virus. The first thing i immediately did was open my new sager laptop and plug the usb into it so i could see every password i have for my sites so i could log into most of them and then change the passwords immediately. I then changed my passwords for many of those many sites then changed the password for each site setting on the openoffice page.


    I recalled at that time, i still didnt have any beeps on my new sager laptop. I believe it was the following day when i noticed a few beeps in my new laptop which got me a bit worried but i didn't think that much about it. It wasn't until today when i noticed i had tons of beeping on this laptop.


    Do you think there is any chance that could have caused it or not? The thing is i read hackers can infect usb hard drives but the thing is when i clicked on that link, i still had lot of documents saved on that asus laptop such as passwords in my documents thats still there. Then when i thought about it for a while, i went on new sager laptop and change password for lot of sites. During this time however since i clicked on that link, i never had that usb flash drive in that asus laptop though. Thus i didnt have the flash drive on the asus laptop on that day it happneed. So if thats the case, then this couldn't have caused the beeping right?

    Not sure if my previous post got deleted or not or maybe i didnt click submit.


    But i googled usb flash drive virus and i notice that i have autorun.inf in it and that means most likely my flash drive is infected. So could that be a chance that this caused my laptop to have this beeping problem? Could a virus cause this beeping problem that im talking about on my sager laptop?

    I think you should do some of the suggestions offered and not worry so much about "hackers".

    I spoke to sager. They suggested me to open the laptop up bymyself. I have attempted this a while back with previousy laptops and almost broke one of them doing this. They had asked me if i felt comfortable doing it and i said not at all,


    So that mean best to just do a clean reinstall of it just like dell xps 8100?


    Heres another thing that im worried about. The usb i used to install the windows 7 home premium is in a 2.0 usb flash drive that has 4gb. I had bought a 3.0 usb flash drive and its 16gb. I couldn't install windows 7 using the 3.0usb and needed the 2.0usb.


    The thing is both my usbs have that autorun.inf so that mean its probably infected. Im sure my old asus laptop is infected b/c of how slow it is and how those beeping and other issues such as connecting to monitor problems.


    So how i do make sure that when i install windows 7 either of the 2 laptops i have, it would be safe? Dont i need to clean and wipe each usb first before doing this? The other issue is this. Even if i do this, when i download the windows 7 software again to put it on the usb, isn't it going to be still infected assuming my laptop is infected? Im not sure if im phrasing it right but i think you guys know what i mean?

    Okay these are my options right now and i want to know which you think is the best choice for me.


    1. Send the sager laptop back to them and have them do the repairs. Issue with this is this is going to take a bit of time such as i send it to reach them then they examine it then send it back to me so theres going to be lot of time used on this which i dont really like.


    2. Do a clean reinstall myself and see if that will fix this beeping issue. I dont have anything important on this new laptop so that isn't a big concern as wiping any data.


    3. Bring it to a computer repair shop and have them take a look and explain them my case.



    Thoughts on this? Im strongly considering option 3 as that might be the more simpler but it will cost money solution. I mean would they be able to tell me pretty quickly if its something inside the computer and thus its an internal problem or if they say it could be a virus problem? I would also mention about my other asus laptop beeping and the usb thing and the clicking on someones link.


    I mean could it be something as simple as the ram in my laptop probably isn't stuck correctly?


    Also i want to mention another thing but not sure if it helps. But last year when my ssd got replaced by a friend who helped me, my laptop after a while couldn't turn on. I went to a computer shop and they found out it was b/c the ssd wasn't in place and they use some FOAM to keep it in place. Could that be a reason why my asus laptop beep? Thing is the foam inside the computer didnt look that good but no big deal b/c its inside the computer. Also i believe it was at least 6 plus months until i heard those beeps in the asus.
