Computer problem

[quote=Phil Collins]Hey guys, I have this problem with my PC where my programs crash occasionally. And I mean all programs on my computer. Not just your typical "x has stopped working", but I get a lot of bug splats with League, Firefox crashing and asking me to report this to Mozilla (which never works because it's still been crashing to that), and I get frequent blue screens. I also do get the "x has stopped working" a lot. Anyone know what's wrong with my PC?[/quote]

[quote=Satella]If you know what you're doing: [list] [*]Burn Hiren's BootCD or image it onto a bootable USB. Scan your system for Malware through MBAM/Spybot. [*]If infections are found and resolved, boot normally, see if problem persists. [*]If problem persists, check hard drive status through Victoria. Run Memtest. Also bench your GPU to verify that it's not throwing errors due to defective VRAM or something. [*]If hardware problem identified, replace said component. [/list] If you don't know what you're doing: [list] [*]Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and run a full scan. If it finds nothing, move onto the next step. [*]Run chkdsk. Google for instructions. [*]Install HWMonitor and check your temperatures. [*]If HDD is at fault, back up all data, replace hard drive, and reinstall. [*]If temperatures are abnormally high (exceeding 60C idle, exceeding 80C load), clean out the dust in your computer. [/list] Actually lemme make another thread real quick.

[quote=Phil Collins]Woah that's a lot of things on your thread, I'll see what I can do... thanks for the help.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Satella said it pretty much. I wouldn't bother with the Malwarebyte's Anti-malware tho, because the first step involves cleaning that anyways :P It sounds like a RAM problem to me. I've experienced a lot of those in my days :( So do that memtest (called memtest86+).[/quote]

[quote=MrCuddowls]This is a list of everything you need to fix your computer. If you use all these and the computer is still fucked up, it's time for to format it or throw it in the trash.

[quote=Satella]Combofix should not be used by unsupervised people. This honestly sounds more like a hardware problem than a malware issue (which Combofix cannot resolve anyway), so don't bother with it.[/quote]

[quote=YayaFTW]Satella, do you know any program that can read/view .MCD file extension? Win'Design and MathCad aren't working for some reason. And lol I used to spam Combofix every time my C:/ Hard drive got corrupted, back in the days.[/quote]

[quote=Satella]What? MathCad should be working assuming that it's the correct file type (check header). If that doesn't work then I have no clue.[/quote]

[quote=Phil Collins]Yeah this isn't a malware problem. I scanned it a few times and nothing came up. Also, what link do I click on memtest86? There's 3 download links. http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm[/quote]

[quote=Satella]Well, are you burning a CD or making a bootable USB? Click the one that corresponds with the medium you're using.[/quote]
