Well, anyone that helps me with this, is a bloody king...
Ok,
My dad brings me his computer about 2 weeks ago, and i had a look, it looked like windows had been currupted had said it needed repairing, and ofcourse, you cant repair windows, well not when i try anyway. So, i try re-installing it, but it kept jamming halfway through and no matter wat a treied it jammed. So i then put another hard drive in and tried to boot the windows that was on that, this time, windows didnt load, it simply locked before the windows loading screen came up. Ok, so i thought, the board must be fualty since ive had other problems in the past, so i buy a AN7 board for socket A, tried that, again, didnt work, so i then bought a new 3200+ (old CPU was a 2000+), again, that didnt do shit. So, i then mixed and matched every other part in the comp including the case and tried no case and still, the same thing, it seemed to be getting worse and worse, so now after all thgat, it just BSOD's when ever it tries to load windows, i try to install windows and it just locks up, so, ive basically replaced the whole computer part-by-part and it still dotn work.
So, im now thinking a bad virus must of got onto the harddrive thats then put itself on to the mobo. And when i replaced the board, i left everytihgn else the same so the virus must of put itself onto the new board aswell...
Now for the questions...
1. Can a virus do all this...???
2. Would the virus be storing itself on the mobo or the CPU cache (also, ive tried clearing cmos and removing battery, no luck)
3. If it is a virus, is there anyway i can remove it form the hardware (mobo, cpu, where ever its storing itself)
4. if it is a virus and i cant repair it, wat should i do, wat parts do i need to replace (hardrives, mobo, cpu).
5. how would my dad of got this virus and wat type of virus can it be???
Please, if anyone can answer those questions and give me anymore info i should no about, then, that would be soo good, i dont think you'd understand how much fixing this comp means to my dad and me, we're not rich and ive spent bloody days on this issue, so please, help!!!..., cheers!!!
Thanks
