Having some issues that hopefully someone smarter than me can help on. Just had the moterboard replaced, everything seemed to be running fine but after a few days the same faults that caused the PC to go in the shop are reappearing. Getting statusclient faults that can only be cleared with a hard reboot (pushing the power button). Had several iamapp faults and the clock is varing the time. This looks like a great site.

Hi djax, welcome to GTG! Maybe virus related... Let us take a closer look at what is running on your PC. We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool (HiJackThis) and post a log back here with the results.

Click the HijackThis Guide in my signature, download it and follow the instructions in the guide.

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, DO NOT delete or modify anything yet! Someone will be along to tell you what steps to take after you post the contents of the scan results.

This looks like a lot for the uneducated. Since my last post other issues have arisen:
Norton will not update when requested, Iamapp faults, Javaw faults, statusclient faults, clock varies speed the printer will not work and once when I rebooted the icons on the desktop rearranged.

Thanks for the support,

Dave

Another problem, Norton will not update. It says it is updating but just sets there. One time I even logged in for a live update and went to bed, it sat there all night. Seems like I'm in big trouble here....
