Default [Pending] Somebody help me!

Hi, i'm encountering problems using my pc. By the time it suddenly restarts. Just black screen at once, then BIOS and Windows XP starting again. A friend told me it was a problem with my graphic card, and yes, I sent a error-rapport to Microsoft and they told my there was something wrong with my nVidia graphics driver. So I replaced my nVidia TNT2 for a ATI RageXL. I thought the problem was over now, but it happened again. I sent a rapport to Microsoft again and now they told me it was about a Susteen (http://www.susteen.com/) driver. I had never heard of this company but it appears create phone software, could be possible cause I'm using a data-cable for my cellphone. However, can such driver cause my problem? Or is there something wrong about my mainboard?

My specs:
AMD K-7 650Mhz
256MB of SD-RAM 133mhz
an ASPEN2 mainboard (something unknown, couldn't get any info, I have a Compaq)
and now using an ATI RageXL grapics card

First and foremost - good to see you back Bluefish!

What anti-virus and anti-spyware precautions have you taken on your PC?
Is your PC running hot? Are all the fans inside your case spinning happily and dust-free?


P.S. We are thinking of starting a Dutch support board...interested?

Yeah man that would be cool! (the Dutch board)
however I use Norton Systemworks but NOT Norton Antivirus, actually I do not run any antivirus software at all
I'm sure that all my fans are running OK, I've got a system fan beside my cpu fan and I already thought it would run hot but I'm pretty sure it's not running hot, pretty warm but not hot if you understand :lol: oh and about anti-spyware..since the last time I formatted my pc I have not been using any kind of anti-spyware

Do you mean I should install an antivirus program just to make sure it's not a virus problem?

HJT is not an antivirus software. It is a program that finds places where spyware normally hides and tells you what is in there, to make sure that there is no malware. Only those trained to read them should fix anything from that program, though, so post the here before doing anything with it.
