I've hyad this problem before and solved it
This time those same methods wont work
I have tried running fixes in safe mode and I have tried running repair console from an XP setup disc
I tried option 1./ C<windows>: FIXBOOT
I also tried option 1./ C<windows>: Chkdsk /r
All fans work fine yet still the problem persists.
Can anyone please advise?
Thanks

I( was aleaqdy thinking it may be the hard drive. Not sure how to tell
Its a bit difficult running a virus scan. I tried running AVG in safe mode but it asked for a licence key even though she says its the free version. Its not letting me install a fresh one in safe mode either.
I cant really figure out any moire history. Shes old and cant remember too well. It just seemes it happened when turning it on
I tried finding a restore point but there werent any

Have you tried disabling 'Reboot on System Failures' found in System Properties / Startup and Recovery to see if an error message is displayed.
Also have a look at the event log by running eventvwr.msc.

You cannot install AVG in Safe Mode and you won't be able to install it if there is another version already installed, so
Boot to Safe Mode
In the Run box enter msconfig
Under Services tick the box that says hide all Microsoft services then disable all the remaining ones.
Under Startup disable all the startup programs
Restart the computer and see if it will boot normally now.
If so, run a virus scan.
By the way, if Strat is correct and this is a driver problem then this isn't going to work but it is useful to know.

Quote from: ReedRichards Running chkdsk was a good idea but if there was a problem with the boot sector (that Fixboot would fix) you would not get anywhere near as far as the Welcome screen.

Hi

Remember that scanning the hard drive in the way you did will not remove any bad registry entries so you need to rescan when you get the computer going again.

This page seems to be pure advertising with no actual information on the threat. You are encouraged to download a free but unnamed scanner. I would strongly advise against doing any such thing. Bear in mind that the other file is part of a rogue (i.e. fake) antispyware program. Downloading anonymous scanners is the way to get infected with more of that type of thing.

Hi
Last virus scan shows all virus's gone from the system
I did what you said and I did what strat suggested
The problem still persists. after the welcome screen the icons all load up. Then there is a click coming from inside the computer and a blank screen. and nothing. No restart either
Back in Safe mode I found the following in error log
1.The DHCP Client service depends on the NetBios over Tcpip service which failed to start because of the following error:
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
2. same as above
3. The TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service depends on the AFD service which failed to start because of the following error:
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
4. The IPSEC Services service depends on the IPSEC driver service which failed to start because of the following error:
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
5. The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
AFD
AvgLdx86
AvgMfx86
AvgTdiX
Fips
IPSec
MRxSmb
NetBIOS
NetBT
Processor
RasAcd
Rdbss
Tcpip
6. DCOM got error "This service cannot be started in Safe Mode " attempting to start the service EventSystem with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{1BE1F766-5536-11D1-B726-00C04FB926AF}
7. as no.1.
8. The TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service depends on the AFD service which failed to start because of the following error:
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
9. The IPSEC Services service depends on the IPSEC driver service which failed to start because of the following error:
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
10. As No 5.
I'd apreciate any advice on where to go from here
Thanks

This will list all of the Devices on the system - look for one (or more?) with a yellow warning triangle.

My two chief suspects are:
A problem with your graphics drivers that kicks in when (or shortly after) the card/chip kicks out of VGA mode.
A virus which installs as a (non plug-and-play) device.
Have you tried starting in VGA mode (one of the F8 startup options)? This is worth a try.

I'm a big fan of SuperAntiSpyware as it removes a lot of junk that others fail to find, particularly of the rogue security software type. It is free so well worth downloading a copy and running a scan with that.
