    :confused: For the last few days it's crashing. Then it sounds as if it's trying to turn itself back on and I have to pull the plug out of the wall in case it blows itself up. Visus, overheating or had it's day? Help!

    IF you can get into the bios look for the option " wake on lan " "wake on usb " Make sure they are all off.

    Also when you say crashing, what ar eyou doing when it crashes? And what are the exact specs of the pc. cpu/motherboard/graphics card/hdd etc etc.

    I've done a complete scan with McAfee and Lavasoft Adaware and it all came back clean.

    Well McAfee and Ad-Aware arent that good anymore, they could have missed something. Not sure if it sounds like a virus tbh, but this wouldn't hurt

    Please download the self-extracting version of HijackThis from here:

    HijackThis_sfx download

    Save HijackThis_sfx to your desktop.

    Double-click the file then click the Unzip button. Then close the Self-Extractor window.

    Using My Computer/Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\HijackThis and double click on HijackThis.exe to run it. If you would like to make a shortcut for your Desktop so it's more easily accessable, right click HijackThis.exe and choose Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).

    Please run the extracted HijackThis.exe from now on. Delete any copies of HijackThis.zip that you have saved.

    Open HijackThis and click Do a system scan and save a log file. Copy the entire contents of that log and post it here

    Do you have some type of script for that? As that is all you ever post in these forums ;)
