Sounds like your motherboard is about to go.

You can try the following but if it is the motherboard it won't help much.

1. Make sure you have ALL windows updates
2. Run this program and fix any problems http://download.cnet.com/Advanced-SystemCare-Free/3000-2086_4-10407614.html
3. Defrag your pc
4. Reboot your pc

Thanks Homer ran the programme and I have quite a few probs. Have to buy it to repair so that will have to wait. Defrag won't start says it can't

It's free.  You should be able to download the free version and run a number of checks/clean-ups on your system.

After it was done checking your system, did it say you had to pay?

Sorry to hear about your problems... it doesn't sound good.

I actually was told by homer to get this also and it really helped but mine was free also maybe ur trying to get the wrong one on that link cause I just updated mine and its still scans and fixes for free but it is a good thing to have it really helped my system gl with it

[Homer]

The free version should let you fix any spyware, registry, privacy sweep and junk files. Other features are only available on the Pro version which I have. It's well worth the money.

I did download the wrong link. DOH!!!!!Have downloaded the right one now and its scanning will let you know what happens
Thank you all

good luck snipes

Thanks Jarjar. Didn't solve my problem though. Still can't get defrag to work.
Thanks all for your input

I Googled what your problem was and found this link, you might want to check it out. You didn't say what operating system you have, I hope this helps you some. I have no clue what a VIA Raid tool is.

Can you go back on your restore calendar to before this problem started? You said you cannot even run defrag, weird.

This would be the point where I would do a complete system restore and BadgeHelpers would get mad at me because I need my 150 page reset. 

My best advice would be to call Microsoft and ask them to please help you reset your computer.

Hi Sassy

Thanks for looking this up for me. I can't do system restore either will do what you say tomorrow
I have re-installed IE the error still comes up but I can get into pogo now

[Squid]

At least you can get into Pogo on badge day!  All kidding aside, I hope this gets straightened out for you.  Bad computer problems are scary!

If worse comes to worse..............reformat your hard drive.  After reformatting, if you can't do routine system tasks like defrag, then you have a problem that can't be fixed unless you take it in to a repair shop.
