Stupid Computer

[cloakster]

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

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 )

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

Dunno, but im sure it has something to do with me overclocking

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
