Do you have the computer set to boot from CD

i.e do you get the prompt at start to press any key to boot from CD ?

pc just keeps rebooting itself. i have a new hard drive coming, so will probably ditch this one. i think we have exhausted most of the options.

Is the BIOS set to CD as the first boot device ?

If you do not know how to set your computer to boot from CD follow the steps here

hi, sorry for the delay in responding, managed to do a clean install. so am up and running, have done all updates. the only things i cant complete is malwarebytes scan, the computer will restart itself before scan finishes. also the pc is sometimes VERY slow to react.

OK lets have a look see then. When you say slow to react is that on start up or when opening programmes ?

Download OTL to your Desktop

• Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
• Select All Users
• Under the Custom Scan box paste this in
  netsvcs
  %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
  /md5start
  consrv.dll
  explorer.exe
  winlogon.exe
  Userinit.exe
  svchost.exe
  /md5stop
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NetBT /s
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NetBIOS /s
  hklm\software\clients\startmenuinternet|command /rs
  hklm\software\clients\startmenuinternet|command /64 /rs
  C:\Windows\assembly\tmp\U\*.* /s
  %Temp%\smtmp\1\*.*
  %Temp%\smtmp\2\*.*
  %Temp%\smtmp\3\*.*
  %Temp%\smtmp\4\*.*
  CREATERESTOREPOINT
• Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
  
• When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
• Post both logs

tried OTL, it ran for a couple of mins before the BSOD. logs left on desktop as follows:

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21799

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21769
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-183

other problems today are:

1 BSOD= page fault in non page area. after restart box containing following:
analog input
cannot display this video
optimum resolution 1280x1024 60hz

2 when pc started, box containg following:
Host process for windows services etc etc

[Essexboy]

This looks very much like a hardware problem - video

What resolution is your screen set to ?

The two ini files are system files and we will rehide them later

[cuda67]

When you say slow to react is that on start up or when opening programmes ?

A. slow when opening programs, also it seems my pc is quite noisey when opening programs or web browsing (if that makes sense)

[Essexboy]

Is this still on the old hard drive ?

[cuda67]

see attached.

[cuda67]

yes still on old hard drive

[Essexboy]

Could you reduce the resolution a bit and see if that helps

Could you run a disc check please

Instructions are here

[cuda67]

which disc check should i run, the one which fixes or the one with just a report.

i have adjusted the resolution down a bit. may be a bit of track but i do have an nvidia grforce 320, i could install if you think its a card issue?

[Essexboy]

If you have another video card and the drivers then yes use that

Get check disc to repair errors

[cuda67]

ok will check and fix, then put card in.
