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.

    • The Teams Admin center is still a mess. I use it all the time. They really need to talk with the Intune or Entra ID folks for help.
    • Senua's Saga: Hellblade II to get 60FPS mode, dev commentary, and more alongside PS5 launch by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Back in May, Microsoft revealed Senua's Saga: Hellblade II as the next first-party Xbox game to reach PlayStation platforms. Now, that release has an official release date attached to it, and alongside it, developer Ninja Theory is releasing an update across all platforms with some major features, including a 60 FPS mode on consoles. The Performance Mode is easily the biggest addition to the story-focused immersive experience. Ninja Theory is delivering it to both Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 players, but there is some bad news for Series S owners, as it is being left out from the upgrade. "The result is smoother gameplay, especially noticeable during combat and fast-moving moments of the game," says the developer. It's unclear how much of the game's visuals Performance Mode users will be missing out on compared to the default 30FPS "cinematic" mode. PC players are getting an upgrade too. A Very High preset is being added to the settings menu for those wanting even higher fidelity graphics. Optimizations have also been a focus on PC, and Ninja Theory says that the title will be Steam Deck Verified when the Enhanced update lands in August. Next, similar to the original, Dark Rot is incoming as an optional experience that players can enable when starting a campaign. This will have a rot effect being applied to Senua every time she dies, and if it ever reaches her head, the game will come to an end, with all progress from that save being wiped. The Photo Mode in Hellblade II is being upgraded with this update too, with the studio touting a new Motion tab for cinematic video capture, as well as improvements across the board to the feature. Lastly, four hours of developer commentary is being added to give a behind-the-scenes look at how the studio crafted the story and gameplay. "Hear from the ensemble cast, key collaborators in depicting Senua’s experience of psychosis, and members of the development team who poured their heart and soul into Senua’s story," says the studio. The Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II Enhanced comes out on August 12 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 for all owners and Game Pass subscribers as a free upgrade. As for the PlayStation 5 launch of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II that's happening on the same day, Microsoft will be offering two versions: Standard and Deluxe. As expected, Standard includes the complete base game for $49.99, but Deluxe goes further by adding on a copy of the first game, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, as well as its original soundtrack. The Deluxe Edition costs $69.99 to purchase.
    • Not sure what you’re talking about. Has been there for quite a while and in the latest versions it’s actually quite good. I use it several times a day as I am a terrible typist.
    • They should've called it Neolin, what a missed opportunity, IMHO!
