Thanks for you quick response Goombawaho, did just that and got the monitor back working... Allstate well that ends well... Cheers Artois28

Hi guys, hope everyone's well... Having just solved the problem of malware, I was sitting at my Pc feeling smug when my daughter turned off the vacuum cleaner she was using (in the next room) when my Hanns g 281d monitor went blank and will not come out of stand-by mode. Has the monitor been...

Many thanks for all the posts guys, eventually went for the obvious solution, the Restore point. First time I used this feature on Win 7 and it seems to have done the trick, but have downloaded the above suggestions for future use. Many thanks again, Artois28

Thanks Chris, I really hate skiing this question and hope you understand why (trust is my favourite word!) but the Malware scanner isn't going to make things worse? Again, please understand that I trust you, not the scanner. Many thanks in advance, Artois28

Hi Everyone and hope you are all well... Very quick explanation, my dad called me this evening looking for free DVD burner software so I went onto CNET and downloaded Ashampoo (figuring that if it downloaded crap onto my system and not his, I could fix it -(obviously not huh?!). Anyway it did...

Thanks for all of your help over the past couple of weeks, hugely appreciated... I eventually (and I do mean eventually) found the problem. The processor I purchased was an i5-3570 ivy bridge, and the motherboard a Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3, the bios was not up to date for the processor. Cannot...

Thanks for the quick response Goombawaho and lol, it is a new mobo, although it did cross my mind that it is a faulty new mobo. I will try your suggestion now. Many thanks Artois28

Hi guys, I asked for and got great info regarding a new build with a problem CPU fan. Cured that...all my hdd's were fried. The new build has a new problem...Page fault in non-paged area. Everything is fine until XP downloads the first of many updates, also I have installed the various mobo...

Many thanks for the replies guys, everything is working as it should be with no errors or intermittent faults, don't know if it was a bedding in problem but all seems well (for now at least). Once again thanks for the support Artois28

thanks once again for all the suggestions, I am trying them one at a time. I did change the thermal paste on the cpu, something I have done (like you all) many times before so I hope I can disregard incompetence as the problem (Yeah I know, I'm shaking my head too...) The thing I don't...

Thanks again Fred, will give it a try. Thanks again for your swift help... Cheers, Artois28

Thanks Fred, Good suggestion, not sure if I posted originally that I had swapped the mb because of original problem. Could it be the stock Intel CPU fan not being sufficient? Not sure what else it could be...thanks for you advice though, Regards Artois28

Hi all (again)... It appears as though I or my PC lied. Having switched it off, leaving it alone for five minutes I switched it back on to the same problem...now, I'm stuck... Regards Artois28

Thank you for your quick responses (never ceases to amaze me the spirit of the Tek Tips guys). I think I found the problem. I bought a gtx560 graphics card, replacing an ati card. When booting up I eventually replaced the ati drivers for nvidia. This, so far, has cured the problem. It's a guess...

Hi guys, hope you can shed some light on this for me. New system build after psu took down my system, so have 600w OCZ psu. Intel i5 CPU with stock fan, gtx560 Ti graphics card, 4gb ram plus 3 hdd's and a DVD writer. Posing up the CPU fan lasts about three seconds then shuts down. It does this...
