Sheesh....every day reveals a new problem with my computer. I've formatted it twice in the past 2 weeks.
Here's the breakdown.
I formatted & reinstalled windows.....got an ass of viruses before I could install AVG & Zone Alarm.
So ended up having to format & reinstall windows again. keep in mind this was a full format...wiping the HDD clean.
Reinstall windows....leave the ethernet unplugged. Reinstall all of my antivirus & firewall software off of a disc I burned on another machine.
Worked fine for a week. No virus...nothing.
Fast forward to today.
Firefox crashes continually. Figured out it was the shockwave plugin. Uninstalled it, reinstalled it. Rebooted...all that. Still crashing. So I reinstalled an older build of Firefox I knew worked. Still crashes. oooooook....a little annoyed. So I figure oh well...I'll watch a video. Start the video up...the screen goes all kinds of wonky and locks the system. Reboot.
Explorer, Live Messenger and the Task Manager all crashed within seconds of each other. Objectdock crashed as well.
So I boot into safe mode and scan, rescan and triple-scan with everything I've got. Nothing. Not a damn thing.
That is where I am with it right now.
If anyone's got any suggestions (other than buying a mac or installing Linux). I'd love to hear them.
OS: Windows XP Home SP2 (all latest updates)
