Hi,
yer im very frustrated and am pulling my hair out. For no apparent reason i can see
my system has degraded over last few days, ive noticed errors such as cursor frozen
on log on, lag accessing folders and other numerous problems, today has iced the
cake though, on attempting to start my onlines games World of Warcraft & Eve online
the computer immediately blue screened of death and rebooted, the same happened when
i tried to access a random web page; BOOM death screen and reboot.
I have run every tool i have and thats part of windows i know but the operating system
doesnt seem to want to fix itself, on top of that it wont let me use system restore
, it acts like it has a virus (malicious) except my firewall has found nothing...
Problems Detected:
1) Trying to Startup World of Warcraft causes Crash to Boot.
2) Trying to Startup Eve Online causes crash to Boot.
3) Accessing certain webpages causes Crash to boot.
4) Noticed consistent destabilising of System over last 3 days since ive re-connected
to Internet, weird behaviour, cursor freezes on booting, odd sounds from Harddrive,
World of warcraft crashed with fatal exception and was disconnected from Game Server
twice.
5) Computer will not allow me to Restore to an earlier point using System Restore!
6) According to Disk Defragmenter some files on drive cant be defragged, i have noticed
this event previously when i have had the same issues in the past with my previous
last two machines and believe this inability to defragment these files is connected
to whatever is messing up my computer yet again!
7) when i ran the start menu search for files & folders tool my firewall told me
it was attempting to connect to a remote ip address, that cant be right surely??
it doesnt normally do that as its an in-system tool.
8) ordinarily on running ChKdsk it goes through the five stages but now all of a
sudden it adds another stage between 3 and 4 called "...Checking USN Journal...",
i havent seen that before and if it is legit in windows something has made it active.
9) programs continue to stop working producing regular Blue Screens of Death, on
investigation it appears key files have gone missing such as the DivX decoder file
from warcraft.
7) general Lag and sense that machine is labouring and struggling.
Attempted Fixes:
1) have run System Disk Cleaner, Defragmenter, and Drive Error Tool.
2) have run kasperky on everything checking for viruses or malware.
3) have run ad-Aware to remove possible spyware infection.
4) have run CCleaner to make sure registry etc is clean.
5) have attempted to auto-report error but Microsoft website states error log repeatedly
corrupted.
6) have checked outside site to examine potential of open ports or misbehaving ports,
all seems normal.
7) have not seen any suspicious connections in Netstat.
As a result of being suspicious abt UCN Journal i was lead here and im afraid i know
nothing abt computers which doesnt help, can you guys help me out here, ive been
spending money to try and fix this stuff but it keeps coming back...
regards,
Gary
