What pci-e devices does it have in it?

What protective software doy you have and have you scanned with them recently? If so, what results did you get?

It will need to be replaced!

It should work fine. All that message really means is that the manufacturer of your TV hasn't paid Microsoft to have their hardware varified!

Have you defragmented it? Scanned it for viruses? Scanned it for malware?

From a cursory glance at your GMER log your computer is badly infected. You need to follow the instructions in this thread - [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread134865.html[/url] and post [B]ALL [/B]the requested logs!

The only time I have seen that problem was with a faulty graphics card. Replacement was the cure!

The correct driver for it should be on the cd that was supplied with it.

You say a lot of bad sectors were found, because of that I suspect your hard drive as being the problem!

Open it up and make sure the power and data cables are firmly fitted between your hard drive and motherboard/power supply. You may want to buy and try a new sata cable, they aren't too expensive.

Your computer is infected. You need to follow the instructions in this thread - [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread134865.html[/url] then post the requested logs!

The best advice is, if you can't afford to loose it, [B]BACK IT UP[/B]!

The only way to answer your question is to do further diagnostics on your computer. There are a lot of components within a PC, it only takes one to fail. Do you have and know how to use a digital volt meter?

There should be 4 diagnostic LED's between the front panel audio sockets and the USB sockets. What do they do?

Your screen has developed a fault and will need to be replaced soon! I have seen the same problem a couple of times before.

Is it a legal copy of the game?

Dangerous is an understatement! Touch the wrong bit of the tube starter and you are dead!!!

It's possible that it's a ram incompatability. It's also possible that the PSU isn't up to the job as the AMD Phenom's are rather power hungry beasts. Are you also using a power hungry graphics card?

What particular dell computer is it?

Norton is most likely the cause as it seems to block things you want working and allow things that you don't want. Has your customer ever used Team Viewer to do what he wants? Google it and try it out and see what you think. I have used Team Viewer …

Your log shows lots of problems as well as no antivirus software and that your Hijackthis is out of date. You need to work through the instructions in this thread - [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread134865.html[/url] and post [B]all[/B] the logs it asks for!

I would suspect malware! Problem is you have told us absolutely nothing about your PC. What windows version are you using and what protective software have you got?

Is it used online? If so, have you checked it for malware?

One thought, does the printer have a network (RJ45) socket on it? If so, connecting it directly to the router would be far easier and printing would be far quicker too!

Are you using a graphics card or built in graphics? Does the motherboard have a system spaeker attached to it?

Downloading and running ccleaner should help too! Run the registy cleaner several times until it finds no issues!

I doubt that your bios is the root cause of your problem. The first thing I would do is give the computer a good clean and check the condition of the thermal paste between the heatsink and the CPU!

Try making the partition a little biger! Manage within windows 7 allows you to do it no problem!

What version of windows are you using?

Are we supposed to guess what computer, hardware, and windows version you have?

Seeing as it's sata, any sata hard drive will be ok! I'd recommend that you not exceed 500gig as drives bigger than that seem to less reliable! I put a 500 in my lappy some time back and am very happy with it!

We cannot help anyone using pirated software! Go buy it, the rest of us do!!!

From the number of posts I have seen about Vaio's and from working on them, I'd say that the build quality is rather poor for the money they charge for them. Both of you need to get your laptop's looked at by a professional as they obviously have hardware and/or …

I used to own the exact same card. It is AGP x8 compatible only! It does not support AGP x2 or x4 motherboards! Hope that helps!

You haven't even said what laptop you have! Did you install windows 7 yourself or did the laptop come with it pre-installed? We can only work with the information [B][U]YOU[/U][/B] give us!

The most common cause of your problem is incorrect wiring to the front panel. What make and model PC do you have? If it's a self build then what motherboard and case do you have?

Is it's screen cracked or just dark? If it's not cracked then have a good look at it under strong daylight to see if there is anything at all on screen. If it's cracked then you can get a replacement lcd screen on eBay for a decent price. If it's …

Google and get memtest and run it for atleast 7 passes. If you get any error messages then your ram needs to be replaced!

Sounds like you either have bad ram writing bad data to the hard drive or you have a bad hard drive. Google and get memtest and run it for a minimum of 6 passes. If it comes up with any errors then replace your ram. Next, have a look at …

What computer is it?

At the very least you should buy a valid number for windows 7 like the rest of us have!

[QUOTE]What I'm not sure about, is if it is working with windows 7, but I guess its worth a try.[/QUOTE] It does work with windows 7, I have used it successfully on 2 windows 7 computers including my own one!

Is your account an admin one or not? What version of windows do you have? What computer is it?

A little info would be of use. You have said nothing at all about what version of windows you are using or what hardware you have or what the replacement PSU is or why you replaced the old one.

Backup and system restore are 2 different things and work in different ways. A backup should contain most if not all files within windows whereas a system restore is more like a "save state"! Have a look at the microsoft website for more info!

Any idea what graphics it has? Nvidia by any chance?

Does it have Nvidia graphics by any chance? If so, then that's the cause and the GPU will need to be reflowed!

Have a try with the registry cleaner in ccleaner - [url]http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download[/url] I am a computer engineer and have used ccleaner on several hundered computers without a single problem!
