    shutdown

    I am having a problem gaining control of my computer. Seems like a virus or worm. I thought it was the blaster worm but it hasn't been found. I can't install the microsoft updates or a virus program. When I go to look around in the registry I find that regedit shuts down also. Is this problem...

    shutdown message

    I know this is not a new topic but I can't seem to get rid of the blaster worm by installing the updates available at the microsoft web site. The ones that count for blaster I downloaded but they won't run. The removal tool won't run because the update won't install and is needed to be present...

    computer wont start

    Every third or fourth time my computer stops as soon as I throw the switch. Try again and it works fine.

It doesn't always squeal but seems to more often than before. If I press the reset button or shut down and start over, eventually...

    No HD recognition

    Every once in a while my hard drive is not recognized at boot time and I am asked to insert a CD. It only happens about once every 50 times and a cold reboot will succeed. I am concerned about the intermittent nature of the problem. So far it isn't increasing in frequency but this can't be a...

    boot disk failure

    I have an intermittent problem with a boot disk failure message. The drive squeals like there is an obstruction and gives me the boot disk failure message. It happens only occasionaly - weeks between episodes - but I fear this doesn't bode well for the future. I will run scandisk over night but...
