Hey guys, I just wanted to apologise for not putting up any new posts for almost three weeks now. You see, my computer has decided to take a break. And I am trying (hard) to get it up and working. I can describe to you the symptoms, but if anyone out there has a solution except for reloading the damn thing, please (please) do tell me.
Here’s the thing. Whenever I switch on my computer and log on, nothing loads at all. Instead, the fan starts going haywire, as my system has Pentium 4 with hyper-threading tech, which enables it to have variable fan speeds, according to the temperature. So the increased fan speed tells me that something is eating up the memory of the computer, and so I press Ctrl+Alt+Del to open the Task Manager. Upon selecting the Processes tab, I see that a program called svchost.exe is using 50% of RAM because of which nothing else is being able to load. Hence I stop this particular process, after which the whole desktop suddenly loads. But then, suddenly pops up a self-shutdown window, telling me that some error has occured and the comp will have to shut down. There’s even a small timer, counting down the seconds so that I am able to save any necessary work. Then I just open the command prompt and type in ’shutdown -a’, which aborts the whole thing. My computer does not shutdown. BUT, I then find that neither the internet is working, nor are WM Player and Internet Explorer. Also unable to work are various other programs and functions.
If you understood the whole thing, then it means that you might know what to do. If not, then you just got to know how good (but not enough!) I am with these things. Again, please do tell me what to do.
