Possibly from the Recycle folder.

It'll teach you not to download anything that's got anything to do with Torrent. Hacked software often punishes pirateers because it has itself been tojaned.

Serves you right - to labour the...

These temperatures are perfect.

The on-board graphics will be automatically disabled when you install the 9800.

Well done. The cleaning is on old trick I learned on the PS2.

Anyway, you only took two cards out. So put the Video card in first and get the worst over with. What should happen is that it will...

The classic symptoms of a fried mobo are:

Did your PST file reach the 2GB limit? If it did, SCANPST.EXE might save what it can, but some will be lost. Read up on SCANPST carefully as it sometimes doesn't produce the expected result (not so...

Clicking on the process shouldn't excite the CPU at all other than the Windows process servicing the act you have just performed.
Sure more RAM will help - but you need so much more than it is...

If it's gone too far te=hen you'd be wise to remake your system.

My own method is to put the hard drive onto another PC as a USB slave and sus it all out there. That way the trojan can't spread,...

Well, we don't know what you mean by a blinking screen. Screens don't blink. Cursors blink.

So a fuller description of what's happening is necessary. Including the URL concerned.

You can buy a voltage transformer that steps you up from 110v 60Hz to 230v 50Hz. When you plug in 110v I don't think anything'll happen or go phut - but that's a reasonable guess. You could simply...

Thanks for your cognisance! Much appreciated and kind of you to bother.
