Here's my problem: (I have windows xp sp2)After I start up my computer it gets through everything no problem. After windows starts to load, and the splash screens are all gone for start up programs I am able to do one thing before it freezes. I can try and open anything on the desktop or...

Well my Network card is built into my mobo. Also I have no problems with other computers on the network. Although I haven't tried any of those machines using as much bandwidth as this one. Maybe I will leave one of them up trying a torrent for the night, see if it drops out too. My westel...

what does that mean? Also I tried doing the check disk thing and that didn't help much.

I have reinstalled the drivers in safe mode. It doesn't seem to help. Also I just found out that my wireless card in the same computer is responding the same way. Won't let me even ping anything. is it possible a trojan that is doing this. I seem to think that there is a possibility I have...

my computer seems to be doing some errors while booting up. Whenever I boot it up it will do one of two things; It will get to right before the windows splash screen, where there is a _ in the top left, and just sit there for a few seconds then nothing will happen after that. It will just be...

Hi there. I have a problem where my desktop computer looses connection to the router. It does this as far as I can tell, only when there is lots of traffic (torrenting, streaming football). After a few minutes of use of heavy traffic my network icon in the tray shows a little bubble with...

I have ETrust PErsonal Firewall. Which when I look at it seems almost identical to ZoneAlarm. Is there anyway to configure it to allow browsing traffic through?

DHCP is on the router right? Yeah it's enabled. The lease time is 1 day if that's what you are talking about. Could this be any kind of virus that is doing it to me? I have eTrust Security Suite on

yep.

I have this problem. I turn my computer on and everything seems to work fine. I connect to the internet just fine with firefox, IE, Trillian, and Utorrent. However after about 1-3 hours of my computer being on, my browsers stop connecting (giving me the timed out message) However I am still...

that's a good point. The fact is, when CTRL+ALT+DEL is hit I can still see what the task maanger says. And it shows that there is no extra CPU usage.

I'm having this pretty weird problem lately where my computer has been freezing up. Not freezing up in the sense that I am used to, my mouse still moves, and my keyboard still responds to CTRL + ALT+ DEL. However, it only responds to CTRL+ALT+DEL, nothing else, and it brings up the task...

Last night I left my computer on when I left for work. When I came home, I found it turned off, I thought it was no biggie, maybe my dad turned it off. But when I pushed the power button to turn it back on, nothing happened. No lights turned on, no fans or anything. I then unplugged everything...
