Computer is Being Retarded

Expand Post »
Ok, I found that my computer has 3173 viruses. The anti-virus client AVG didn't do anything about it, could not heal the items nor move them to the virus vault. Scared to shut the computer down I left the machine running for 2 days before a power failure killed it for me. On trying to restart, I could see the post screen and then it shuts down. I have had 3 successful attempts in starting the computer, but each time manages to start without problems it shuts down automatically after about three minutes. Please help me! :mad:

Re: Computer is Being Retarded

Did AVG detect this many viruses?

Yes, but it could not move any of then to the vault and the heal button was unavaliable.

You may just want to format and reinstall windows then, it seams like the easiest solution.

Re: Computer is Being Retarded

Power failure probably sent a surge up the line and fried your PC
Is the mobo / psu black or has blown capacitators?

This happened to my pc befoore and the lesson is :USE A SURGE PROTECTOR
