until dec 2010 my computer was running fine when something happened to my pc.and then a computer which was running fine about 2 hrs ago before it was exposed to internet without a fully functioning anti malware suddenly started to malfunction.like if I would open any game the computer would restart and even if I fullscreen a video it would restart.so I formatted only c: and reinstalled windows.but again the same problem.then I wiped out my hard disk and reinstalled os then the problem solved but with two striking changes, first was aliasing of games which didn't happen before under same hardware and software settings.and the cpu fan which started to produce unnecessarily extra noise than before and it speeds up very high for 3 secs and then down for about 1.5 secs and repeats, which was constant before with almost no noise at all.after two years in 2012 the mobo was gone.so I replaced the entire system except monitor keyboard and mouse.but the problem not solved even then.i didn't use any thing that was from previous system like usb drives.but before I bought new system I noticed something.i had some backup dvds which were burned in 2009 a year before.they wre used by me and some friends between 2009-2010 without any issue.but once I used them after getting this problem and then gave it to my friends then they started to have same problems as me.then I thought the only way this could happen was that there is a dangerous program in my system which had the ability to transfer itself to already burned dvds and from them it would copy itself to which ever computer inserted and hence the same problems bcause there was absolutely no other way I can explain it.and about cpu fan speed's fluctuations,i once disconnected all the cables inside and outsie the cpu cabinet except power cable and then turned on the computer the fluctuation was still there even when there was nothing very big to process cuz harddisk cables and dvd drive cables and even monitor, mouse,keyboard were disconnected.so can anybody explain this to me?Can this be figured out and solved?what should I do now?

This sounds like a hardware problem (from what I understood from this huge block of badly written sentences...)

Can you post your system specs?

Did you burn your DVDs prior to having issues? What games were you playing, what was your friend's system specs? What OS?...
 
my system specs in previous system: OS winxp 2005 pro,intel p4 processor 3.0ghz,1 gb ddr2 ram,160 gb hdd,inbuilt intel graphics,and don't know about motherboard but it was from intel

same specs for my friends system except a g31 moderbord. and you might be thinking its about only two computers but its about 18 more computers which used those dvds.

now my specs are a g41 mobo, 2*2gb ddr3 rams, 2*160gb hdd,core2duo 2.4 ghz processor, NVidia 8400gs graphics,win7 os

and those dvds were not only backups but included cracked games and softwares downloaded from different websites.and they were used without any issue for past 3 years ie. from 2007 to 2010.

and for games, they were like gta vice city,ea fifa 2005,igi2, and other games which needed far less hardware than we had.

and thanks for the compliment about my sentences.

and i know you have never seen or heard of this problem so i need you to be more imaginative, knowledgeable and dedicated because it will be good for me if you solve this but even better for you.

Thanks for the advice... You know when looking for help you might want to stay away from telling people to be dedicated, we are here on our own will, therefore we will give you all the help we can give you, you don't need to remind us that.

And for your sentences, don't get me wrong, but I got a headache from reading that block...

Cracked games and softwares. I can imagine your computers being badly infected and using up CPU... John what do you think?

Other problem I can think off, in what country are you living? Where did you buy your computers?
 
Well i am from a very very poor country.Actually here is no single pc in entire country that has genuine softwares. everything is cracked.and obviously i am not a very rich man to buy high quality hardwares from foreign as you can realize from my specs.i bought it from one of the computer shops in my town.to be true i m not proud of my country because everything here is bad and only bad. and i would be one of the most intelligent person in this country if you do a thorough study of minds of the people here lol.and probably the only one that knows that there are computer forums.not everyone but about 98.9% of the people here are fools stupids and mindless.Despite being the second richest in water resources we still have to face 10 hrs of power cut everyday and it can go up to 14 hrs a day.probably the most backward country in science.the country of mount Everest. i know i have no right to even ask for help because i use pirated os and games but what can i do nothing genuine is sold out here so we are forced to use pirates.so do you think it has anything to do with where i live because everything was fine for about for 10 years of using of pirated software until 2010 in my town...thanks for reading this. i apologize for my mistakes and any trouble caused.

I was going for a difference in voltage from what you get home and what your PSU is made for...

Everest is divided in two countries, Nepal and China but from what you've written I'm guessing Nepal? Do you know what kind of voltage you're getting home? Can you tell me what PSU you have?

I'll cut you some slack on the writing, English isn't your native language (it isn't mine either anyway).

Totally agree with you.

RZDZ, I highly suggest you to run the following.

1.

Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode onto your Desktop.



•Please close all open programs and internet browsers.
•Double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool.
•Click on Scan.
•After the scan you will need to click on clean for it to delete the adware.
•Your computer will be rebooted automatically. A text file will open after the restart.
•Please post the content of that logfile in your reply.
•You can find the logfile at C:\AdwCleaner[Sn].txt as well - n is the order number.

2.

Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

•Shutdown your antivirus to avoid any conflicts.
•Very important that you run the tool in this manner:
Right-mouse click JRT.exe and select Run as administrator
Do NOT just double-click it.
•The tool will open and start scanning your system.
•Please be patient as this can take a while to complete.
•On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
•Post the contents of JRT.txt in your next message.

3.

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.
  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to
    • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. Please keep updating until it says you have the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • A log will be saved automatically which you can access by clicking on the Logs tab within Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

If for some reason Malwarebytes will not install or run please download and run Rkill.scr, Rkill.exe, or Rkill.com. If you are still having issues running rkill then try downloading these renamed versions of the same program.

EXPLORER.EXE
IEXPLORE.EXE
USERINIT.EXE
WINLOGON.EXE

But DO NOT reboot the system and then try installing or running Malwarebytes. If Rkill (which is a black box) appears and then disappears right away or you get a message saying rkill is infected, keep trying to run rkill until it over powers the infection and temporarily kills it. Once a log appears on the screen, you can try running malwarebytes or downloading other programs.

Please post the log that Malwarebytes displays on your screen.

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.
•Click on Minimal Output at the top
•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. Just post the OTL.txt file in your reply.

then post the logs from the following 4 programs.

1. Adwcleaner
2. Junkware removal tool
3. Malwarebytes
4. OTL
