Hey Guys,

@Jeff, my welcome to you as well.

@asa, as usual, thank you for the help, .

Now, it may be that you have corrupted something, before going any further with troubleshooting the vid card, can you please run the sfc utility. Start, Run, type in sfc /scannow (exactly as shown) make sure your OS cd is in the drive. This will search for and replace any missing or damaged system files. Then it may be worthwhile cleaning the registry, then uninstalling and reinstalling the video card with the older drivers as asa suggested.

Look forward to your reply,

I'm gonna go ahead and do what you said and I'll post back as soon as I'm done. and sorry for the other post I'm new to this site still but hopefully we can get both of the problems fixed... be back soon.

No problem at all. We have that happen a lot. Most people don't realize that in many cases it prolongs the fix instead of speeding it up.

We'll keep an eye out for you.

well I put the cd and ran that program however all it did was display a window saying, please wait while it verified all windows files were original versions and then once the bar filled up nothing else happened. I also tried to install the registry cleaner in your sig but like everything else on my pc it wouldn't install. the driver on my card right now is the original one, and I forgot to mention that earlier. however, I was just going to just re-partition and just re install windows but I figured I would try and solve the problem first. but then again I don't know how many more options are available right now.

Lets run this ram test on youre pc , it is run from a floppie so it doesn't need to be installed:

http://www.memtest.org/

And do you have an app installed that reads the tempertures and voltages of youre pc? If not , then (after the pc has been on a while) look in youre bios for them and post back the readings please.

Also do you have enough free space on the HD?

well I ran the memtest program and it didn't find any errors which was good. and yes I have plenty of space on my hd for whatever (like 20 gigs). I took a look at my cpu stats and its running a bit high, around 60C and it has a standard voltage of 1.65. this was all after I left my pc on overnight too. however, I should mention that awhile ago I bought a fan controller to go in one of my drive bays to display temps and control fan speeds. I plugged the cpu fan into that but afterwards every time I started up my pc it displays some manufacturers screen and then towards the bottom says cpu fan error, hit f1 to continue. so I plugged the fan back into the motherboard and now it still has teh same screen come up on every startup and in the bios it can't tell me any info on the fan except for what it should be running at. I know the fan is working and getting power because I can see it spinning. any ideas on this problem as well? lol, thanks for the help guys.

Hey Jeff,

I think it's time to make sure we aren't fighting malware without knowing it. Please carefully follow the instructions for PreWork in my signature. You will want to post back the ewido and HijackThis logs here, and we'll go from there.

Looking forward to your reply,
