In what way is it not working? Can you get a picture on it from your pc at all?

Gateway's are very cheaply made. It could be any number of faults causing this problem. Does it make any beeps?

Is it a pc or a laptop. If it is a pc then turn off sleep mode in Control Panel - Power Options. It may be caused by some type of infection. What protective software do you have and what does it say when you do a full scan?

It looks like the Mbam database update may have removed the problem. Could you post a fresh Mbam scan along with an HJT log in your next post. [url]http://download.cnet.com/Trend-Micro-HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html[/url]

Do you have a laptop or a PC?

Your pc is probably infected. What protective softwrare have you got and what does it say when you do a [b]FULL[/b] scan?

Have a good Google of your monitor's make and model and see if you can find either information about supported refresh rates or a driver for it.

A simple fix would be to ditch IE and use Firefox.

Hp's are well known for their built in graphics cards failing. If it is still under warranty then get the shop to sort it. If it is out of warranty then you will need to take it to a professional and that can be very expensive indeed.

A very quick Google came up with the answer - [url]http://olympus.co.uk/consumer/2581_vn-4100pc.htm[/url]

You need to figure out why it keeps turning off. The first thing that could be causing it is an overheating CPU. You need to get inside your pc and make sure that the CPU fan is working and you also need to clear out all dust from the heatsink …

Google it's make and model number and you may find drivers.

If you have windows live messenger, run through the audio / video setup and it should over-ride all other software and get your mic going.

That's exactly what I was gonna say after reading the first post. :)

It does indeed sound like the hard drive has had it. Replacing it may be the only option. You could try downloading memtest via google. Run it for atleast 7 passes, any errors at all and the memory needs to be replaced.

You have given us absolutely no information about what the pc you have built is or what type of hard drive you have. We are not mind readers. We can only work with the information you give us.

Go here - [url]http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner[/url] and use the online scanner and see if that helps. What version of windows are you using?

You have a quite badly infected pc there. You need to make sure that "Show hidden and system files" is turned on. There are instructions on how to do it here - [url]http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html[/url] Once you have done that you need to locate and delete the following files that are in …

That is a classic sign of a graphics card on it's way out I'm afraid. Replacement is the one and only solution.

You should also update XP to SP3 as that can help to stop this problem from happening again in the future.

You need to change mbam.exe to something else like helpme.exe. That may get it going.

Try removing the mains power plug. Then remove the bios battery for about 1 minute then refit it, re-connect the mains power and give it a whirl. The bios battery is a round silver object with CR2032 pressed into it. If that doesn't work, remove and refit the ram and …

A replacement PSU (Power Supply Unit) would be the next thing to try.

By CPU I assume you actually mean PC? Your PSU (Power Supply Unit) is undoubtedly what has died as it provides the +5 volts that the USB system uses. You will need to replace it.

That is because your bios battery has gone flat. It is almost without doubt a CR2032 battery and can very easily be replaced. [url]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/Battery-lithium-cr2032.jpg[/url] Once you have replaced it you will need to go into your computer's bios and set the time and date correctly.

What USB device? What computer? What windows version? We are not psychic. We can only work with the information you give us.

You have a lot of bad entries in that log. You need to update windows as you only have SP1. You need to do an Mbam scan and post it's results. Mbam can be found here - [url]http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php[/url] You need to get an up to date version of hijackthis from …

jholland1964 is absolutely right, system restore will not fix your problem, you really should follow his advice to the letter.

Is it a PS2 or USB keyboard?

A computer that is that old absolutely will not be able to handle the cable select option. You need to set one as master and have it on the very end connector of the data cable and the other set as slave and on the remaining connector. You should also …

There are no jumper settings on a sata hard drive. Just set the boot order correctly in your bios and you should be good.

What protective software do you have on your pc and have you done any scans for nasties??

1394 is the firewire port. 1394 is the controlling chipset for it. What you probably need to do is look up the make and model of your laptop and download and install all the drivers for it.

Absolutely no idea. You have not given us any information about you "unit" at all.

I have had a look at several Dell laptop screens and It is mostly down to poor design. Sometimes, stripping the screen apart and putting it back together can be enough to fix the problem, other times it makes no difference and usually requires replacement. If you decide to get …

The best thing to do would be to consult the manual for your mobo.

It all depends on what password you mean exactly, what computer you have, and what windows version it is!!

It's what happens when you download dodgy and highly illegal software. [quote]c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\programs downloaded\installed\winrar1\winrar.v3.71.1.0\patch.exe (Trojan.Downloader) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.[/quote]

The first thing to do is to check if the power switch is connected correctly and that the wires aren't broken on it.

This ant good? - [url]http://www.motherboards.org/articlesd/tech-planations/1_1.html[/url]

The cpu may be difficult to obtain so increasing ram will be your best option. Also, if you have built in graphics then a plug in card (provided your pc has a slot for it) can also help a fair bit.

The most likely (but not the only) cause of that is ram. Have a look at the underside of your laptop for the ram access panel. It will most likely be held in by 1 or 2 screws. Remove it and remove and refit your ram and see if that …

Sorry, but that makes no sense at all.

Replace the lot. Emachine's are well known for having serious problems. Usually, the cheapo PSU dies and does serious damage to everything else. The green light on the mobo only shows that 1 of the many voltages produced by the PSU is still working. It has been my experience that …

I see no evidence of an active antivirus program. Do you have one? If so, what is it? Please download, update, and do a [B]FULL[/B] scan with Mbam - [url]http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php[/url] then post it's results along with a fresh HJT scan in your next reply.

[QUOTE=saveone12;907111]Go back in time ![/QUOTE] Not exactly a helpful reply, why bother?? What you need to do is to boot your pc into safe mode. To do this, press F8 before windows begins to load and select safe mode from the menu. Allow it to boot fully (it can take …

The battery only keeps the clock going. All modern Dells have an IC that stores the password. Provided you have proof of purchase, Dell themselves can help you out for free.

Nothing bad is showing in your HJT log. Are you having any specific problems?
