My puter began turning itself off for no reason - ran virus scan - found blaster worm - removed it - and not its doing the same thing again - and now it keep saying not enough memory - could a faulty memory stick cause this????
its amd 2400 series running xp on 98 (i know thats not good but didnt have any choice in the matter). Has 128Ram (not much but its mostly for word processing) suddenly began shutting off for no reason. Changed the video card for another i had in the house andit ran well for awhile. Next day started again - found blaster worm - removed it - and now its starting again. Pls dont say its a bad board - bad mem i can live with! thanks
the blaster worm for sure! You mentioned that. Do: ALT+Ctrl+Del to bring up your task manager. Look for msblaster.exe or similer and shut down. (End task.) Go on line, and find tool to remove msblaster.exe (Google.com > enter "remove msblaster". Hope that helps
and make sure you have ALL of the security patches downloaded. there are some security leaks that can be taken advantage of even without a virus being technically active
