I really dont know whats wrong with my computer...


Recommended Posts

a few days ago my computer started to randomly disconnect me from the internet. I thought it was my modem, so i updated the drivers. didnt work. so i call up my isp and ask them if they can help. they give me the usual "is this or that light on, is the modem plugged in" newbie ****.

15 minutes ago it disconnected me, this time I was on irc though. and guess what? irc stayed up. I couldnt go to websites, sign on aim, or anything else internet related except for IRC. What the hell is going on? Sometimes it will disconnect me, i'll attempt to log back on and I'll get the (windows xp) blue screen of death.

Please help. I really dont even know where to begin. I've never seen this before.

Ask me anything you need to know.

Here's a screenshot of my task manager

looks like you might have some bad processes running are there any more svchost.exe running?? its a normal windows process but too many is caused by virus/spyware can see examples at this page http://www.2-spyware.com/file-svchost-exe.html

should run a check for spyware and virus scan... if they come back negative maybe try another scanner... none are perfect so something could slip through ;)

another thing... check what things are in the startup list... if you see something suspicious go to google type the file name... if its something bad then there is usually lots of results explaining what it is and how to remove ;)

Download Spybot S&D and Adaware, update the patterns on both of these programs, and run a full scan. A lot of people say "I already have them installed, and they don't find anything", well if this is the case, make sure your pattern files are up to date AND you have the most recent version of both of these programs.

Also go to http://housecall.antivirus.com and run a scan EVEN IF you have a virus scan program installed.

You may also want to download the Microsoft AntiSpyware beta program. It picks up some stuff Adaware and Spybot doesn't find.

    • Garmin Dash Cam X310: 4K dash cam on sale at lowest price for $334.99 by Paul Hill Dash cam footage can be vital for drivers who get into accidents as it can be used to help with insurance claims if you’re involved in an accident, outside of that, it can be used for filming your trips or recording freak events such as asteroids burning up in the atmosphere. If you’re still without one, or looking to upgrade, take a moment to read about the Garmin Dash Cam X310 which has been reduced by 16% from $399.99 to $334.99. To briefly touch on the features before we get started, the X310 is a compact 4K Ultra HD touchscreen dash cam with a 140-degree field of view, ensuring it captures everything. There’s also a built-in Clarity Polarizer to reduce glare from the windshield and it features automatic recording. The main attraction of the Garmin Dash Cam X310 is undoubtedly the 4K Ultra HD video which will capture fine details, and the 140-degree field of view that ensures it doesn’t miss anything important. Coupled with this, the Clarity Polarizer helps to reduce glare from the windshield so that your video footage is better. It also includes HDR which improves the night vision. Aside from having a touchscreen, the X310 comes with voice control allowing you to save video and audio hands-free, meaning you can focus on driving. It supports multiple languages - English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Swedish. Other features include built-in GPS for recording the location, date, and time of incidents; parking guard and live view for security while parked (required a paid Vault subscription); and its compact design which allows it to sit “virtually unnoticed” on the windshield. Please note that the product description says some jurisdictions may restrict the use of dashcams, so check your local laws before buying. If you are looking for a high-resolution dash cam with voice control and advanced parking surveillance (paid subscription), the X310 could be for you. The main downside of this product is that it’s still at a premium price point, despite it being at its lowest price on Amazon. If you don’t mind this, it could definitely be a great choice for you.

    • I have a Motorola B12, and it's been working pretty solidly for a year now. 
    • yes, which is especially funny considering you no longer have an option to turn them off, so how could this matter to anyone? It would be pretty evil if they waited until after Windows 10 EOL to renew the certs, but based on these dates, it looks like that wouldn't be possible, so no worries that I can see.
