first off all try getting into it using safemode, b4 windows boots spam f8 and boot safemode. if you can get into windows then it's most like a driver issue or a service running in memory you will have to troubleshoot your way thought it. to get to services type services.msc in the run command...

you can't. it's just a damaged controller on the motherboard intergrated into the southbridge chipset ICH. I presume once you hit the power switch it sends signal to the SMbus controller then to the +5v standby wire on the psu to start the system. then gpu bios kicks in, system bios, raid bios...

hi it will still work providing it's the correct ddr e.g. 1, 2 or 3 also aslong as the voltages arn't within a big range of each other this can cause stability issues or risk of damaging the modules. but if there are very smiliar in voltage or the same, the memory controller will just clock the...

Hi it's most likely the SMBus controller (system management bus) generally deals with switchin on/off or could be the +5v standby wire (purple) on the power supply unit, which is used to turn the pc on when hitting the power switch or shorting the power switch pins on the motherboards control...

send the ram back and get a triple channel kit of ddr3 make sure voltage isn't above 1.65v can cause issues as the memory controller is located on the cpu itself. tripple channel basically means the cpu can request 3x the amount of data e.g. 1x 1066mhz memory module is capable of 8500MB/s...

Hi, you have two seperate sata controller, the one intergrated into your southbridge Via chipset and a seperate jmicron raid controller which runs on the pci-express x1 controller. In the bios you will have to enable the seperare jmicron controller to use the device. once enabled and you go...

what blue screen error message are you getting?

Sounds like your PSU was the issue at first, generally when they are overheating, under to much load they will power off and restart. So you've solved one problem. But your issue is with the machine not posting. By any chance does your motherboard have an Intel chipset? these motherboards...

sounds like to me she doesn't have admin privladges, due to the virus corrupting her account demoting her to non admin. I would back up all her stuff and formatt the machine. save youself alot of time. btw: there is also one other thing you can try before formatting, using a boot cd ( live cd...

Hi, sounds like a virus to me. What service are you talking about when it says your motherboard and graphics card are faulty? I've never come across such a service this leads me to think it's a virus. If you had a faulty motherboard and graphics card your system bios would not post it will emitt...

I think it could be two things, memory error, crash then quick blue screen and restart. go to my computer (right click) - properties - advanced tab - start up recovery and untick automatically restart after memory dump. So next time your system crashes and blue screens it won't automatically...

reset cmos sounds to me you could possibly have a corrupt bios, as the sata controller is not detecting your hard drive. to reset cmos open up your computuer case and flick out the motherboard battery using a flat head screw driver, this is the easiest way to do it. As for your keyboard not...

sounds like power switch to me dude because you said in your post "it goes throught the OS shut down steps as if to say it's received the signal from the power switch to shut down" And it aint a virus either loading in a dodgy dll because it also shuts down from within the bios.So just try...

your looking at gpu issues or stability issues due to power supply unit. start with gpu first can pick up a cheap pci or agp graphics card for around £5

your having stability issues, generally down to unsafe overclock, not enough voltage on the vcore, vdram, gtlref, cpu-pll or nb and sb. But judging from what you've said it's getting worse and worse and i presume you havn't overclocked or messed with any voltages it must be the power supply...

Looking for motherboard/processor combo for ~300$. Intel vs AMD - any suggestions I waa going to say keep the same motherboard and upgrade to q6600 quad core socket 775 cpu overclock it easy to 3.6ghz with a 1600mhz system bus frequency, but I just checked you motherboard it's not the best only...

Hi, what OS are you using? if your using windows xp you can buy any socket 775 motherboard that supports your cpu (check the cpu support list) as you can just use the repair windows option from the windows boot disk. If your using vista, seven your best going for same chipset Intel p35...

Hi, your cpu supports upto 16GB of ram. the architecture of the Phenoms is similair to core i7 with memory controller being located on the cpu. The memory modules need to be 1.5v possilbly push it to 1.6v. When you got your g-skill ram back was it sealed? as if new? sounds like to me they've...

sounds like a memory controller issue to me, doesn't like all 4 dimms filled. have you updated to the latest bios revision?
