Reply with quote

So i recently did an overhaul on my friends computer. This included getting rid of all viruses, malware...ect...including the vundo virus. i also took the computer apart and reconnected the dc jack to the motherboard. The computer worked great until i took it apart. Now it only works in safe mode. When i try to boot it normally, it will turn off randomly at any time starting with the login screen. It sometimes loads all the way and i can use it for a couple minutes but it will turn off randomly. i sometimes get error messages that last for only a couple seconds that range from lsass.exe error to a memory error to a user profile error. i have no idea what the problem is. i dont know if its a hardware problem/OS problem/virus/ect.....

please help!!

phil

Second, make sure your processor is not over heating because of a porrly replaced / dislodged CPU heatsink.
