Hey guys i have to interesting questions for you. First sometimes when i turn on my computer from a cold start that sometimes its not loading up. i can hear the hard drive spinning but nothing is happening. SO i press the reset button and then i have Windows start like normal. What causes this?

***I just installed a new hard drive because my last one took a dump on me!! So i am getting this problem :mad:

Second, i have ran HiJack This, Ad-Ware SE, Spybot, Spyware blaster, Norton Anti-virus, and Housecall and i do not have virus or anything else. But i have this "WellGet" registry file that comes up on my Crap Cleaner as an issue. Have you guys heard of this issue and what should i do?

Yeah i was doing my research and that is what i found that WellGet is a download manager. But i do not have any download managers. The only thing i do have is a FireFox extension called Download Manager tweak 0.6.5. I have ran SPybot, Ad-Aware SE and they did not pick anything uo. My Norton Anit-virus did not pick anything up. HiJack This did not have anything bad because i checked with the guys here at Geeks To Go.

Hey man :

As far as your HDD goes try setting your BIOS settings back to default. Is it a SATA hard drive???

Also try editing your registry entries and see what yu can do about the Wellget thing ( i ahve never heard of that before!)

Also try getting Reg Cleaner 4.3 by Jouni Vuorio it'll help yu get rid of all the unwanted registry entries and what not!!


Cheers

My hard drive is a Western Digital Raptor 74 GB 10000 RPM. i rane that RegCleaner 4.3 and it shows everything with green check marks. SO it found nothing wrong.
