Everything worked fine with this hardware for about a day. I think that it first started doing this right after I installed Agnitum Outpost Firewall...but I don't think that it was caused by that.

And there are no error messages.

hmm ... sry man .. i dunno wats goin on ... it could possibly b a driver prob ... update all ur drivers

 

[nikhilcool17]

just in case if its due to the lan or something ... isolate ur pc .. then restart n c if it works

 

[Bobo]

it isn't lan, it is a wireless network for internet access. And I have tried that, nothing.

Kind of sounds like issues with the os. Try a repair on from the cd.

OK, I fixed it.

When I was down at my grandma's house helping her with her computer, a message came up on MacAfee alerting about a new virus, W32.IRCbot, which causes random reboots. So I went home and did a search (from my computer) for that file, and found nothing. Then my new case came (about time....stupid UPS) and I installed it into the case (BTW, see my other thread about that) and then booted it up into regular mode, just to see what would happen. Avast immediately came up with a message, saying that the virus W32.IRCbot was found, and I moved it to the chest, and the computer has been running since.

Yay! Now if I can only fix my power supply....

OK, now this is back again. Avast still can't find anything....

Also, my taskbar is gone for the second time. (see this thread) Are these 2 related? What should I look for in virus scanning? Is there any other way to fix it?
