Looks good, just hang on and they'll get you cleaned and hopefully in the process get some things working again. Then we can get it right if there are still any lingering issues.

SpySentinel helped me in malware section,but the problem is still there.Computer is starting to restart on its own more often,some programs we tryed to install didnt want to work,and i still have to install my graphics card everytime my computer restarts.

Ok then lets get down to some business. Please follow the steps I post in the order I post. Please post results after each scan\test after trying to see if your issue is solved or continues. With all that being said here we go......



Go to
Start>>Run>>>type in Chkdsk /f
click enter...it will probably ask if you want to do this on the next reboot...click Y
If the window doesn't shutdown on its own then reboot the system manually. On reboot the system will start the chkdsk operation
When completed it will boot the system back into windows.

Let me know if this fixs the problem


If not then go onto step 2



Go to
Start>>Run>>>type in Chkdsk /r
click enter...it will probably ask if you want to do this on the next reboot...click Y
If the window doesn't shutdown on its own then reboot the system manually. On reboot the system will start the chkdsk operation
This one will take longer then chkdsk /f
Note... there are 5 stages...it may appear to hang at a certain percent for a hour or more or even back up and go over the same area...this is normal...
DO NOT SHUT YOUR COMPUTER DOWN WHILE CHKDSK IS RUNNING OR YOU CAN HAVE SEVERE PROBLEMS... this can take several hours to complete.
When completed it will boot the system back into windows.

Let me know if this fixs the problem

[rshaffer61]

What didn't work? Did it run or give you a error?

[itryed2]

[itryed2]

[rshaffer61]

ok and chkdsk didn't run on bootup?

[itryed2]

no

[rshaffer61]

hmm strange say sherlock.
Also when these are done I need you to download the Hard Drive diagnostic software for you make of hard drive. You can burn it to a cd also and it is self booting also. It runs in Dos mode so no interruptions from windows.

[itryed2]

i did step 2 it took almost an hour,but it didnt fix my graphics card problem.this might sound dumb,but how do i find out what make of driver i have?

[rshaffer61]

go to
Start>Run>Type in dxdiag click enter
Display tab will tell you everything about driver

Also download Everest from my signature below and run. Post results in next reply

Lets check windows and see if there is a problem there. Do the following step by step.

Go Start>Run ("Start Search" in Vista), type in:
sfc /scannow
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).
Have Windows CD/DVD handy.
If System File Checker (sfc) will find any errors, it may ask you for the CD/DVD.
If sfc won't find any errors in Windows XP, it'll simply quit, without any message.
In Vista you will receive the following message: "Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations".

For Vista users ONLY: Navigate to C:\Windows\Logs\CBS folder. You'll see CBS.log file.
Usually, it's pretty big file, so upload it here: http://www.flyupload.com/, and post download link.


If you don't have Windows CD....
(this applies mostly to Windows XP, since Vista rarely requires use of its DVD while running "sfc")
Note This method will not necessarily work as well, as when using Windows CD, because not always ALL system files are backed up on your hard drive. Also, backed up files may be corrupted as well.

Go Start>Run, type in:
regedit
Click OK.

Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

You will see various entries (Values) on the right hand side.

The one we want is called: SourcePath

It probably has an entry pointing to your CD-ROM drive,(usually D:) and that is why it is asking for the XP CD. All we need to do is change it to: C:
Now, double click the SourcePatch setting and a new box will pop up.
Change the drive letter from your CD drive to your root drive, usually C:
Close Registry Editor.

Now restart your computer and try sfc /scannow again!


Thanks to Broni for the instructions
