Stupid Computer - cloakster - 07-29-2009

So i'm just surfing the web and all of a sudden my computer crashes. So i reboot it and when its about to load XP, it crashes again. I'm able to run XP in safemode with no problems, so im thinking its my XP install or a virus thats the problem. Don't know which....if anyone has any ideas, please share :)

Thanks

0.o didn't expect you to make a topic here since you know anything about computers :X

I don't really know XP, but Vista has this DVD which you can use to go to the last time your computer safely started or just re-install Vista, if XP has that DVD too maybe you can use that? (Sorry if I said something stupid, just trying to help :X)

Interesting. My ol' desktop did the same thing a couple weeks ago. I haven't touched it since.  O-)

nah, aslong as you dont change  GPU voltages nothing can happen, just increasing clocks might get your videocard unstable in new games but it wont kill it
