Did it manually. I used 3DMark 06 to get a list of running processes and found one called Nero7_Keymaker.exe - kind of suspiscious as I neither use nor have ever used Nero, one that needed a keygen or otherwise.:laugh: I went into the admin account, where the search still worked, and searched...

Blehhh... I think I'll just reformat.

This is what I get when I Ctrl-Alt-Del. I went into the Admin account in safe mode (the only one that will let me at the registry), added a System key to the Policies path and added a new DWORD called DisableTaskMgr and set it to 0. Didn't work :( This is what I get if I try Windows Key + R

:( Its got rid of the run option on my start menu too. I tried it with a command prompt and was told that registry editing is disabled too. :( I've just dropped to the Admin account on safe mode and ran regedit from there, with theres no...

Recently I've been the victim of a trojan which kept opening popups all over the place as well as disabling Explorer's search function and locking the task manager to protect itself. I think I've got rid of the trojan (the popups have stopped and it no loger keeps requesting to connect to the...

Heh, yes its definietly spinning. It would have died a loong time ago if it wans't. Plus it sounds like a helicopter when it spins up. I've had a play with the fan controls in ATiTool and speeding them up a bit seems to be working. The temperatures seem a bit odd though - it idles at around 48...

I tried to register mt problem on the PowerColor website and it seems they only offer tech support if you like in the USA or Canada... :mad: I definitely won't be buying a PoweColor product ever again... EDIT: Aha! I just updated my ATITool to the 0.25 beta and its enabled the temperature and...

I don't have a temperature monitoring option on my ATiTools. I just have this: The different drivers do seem to make the crashes less frequent - I can run it longer before it crashes and now it gets through 3DMark06 every time, wheras before it crashed in about the same place every time. It...

Woop! Woop! I just installed the Omaga drivers and things seem to be going well. It just got all the way through 3DMark06. We shall see what happens in the next few days...

I suppose it couldn't hurt to try different ones - I have the Catalyst 6.4 ones at the moment. What's the best alternative? I found out that the resolurtion has no effect on the crash either - 3DMark06 crashes it in about the same place at 640x400 or 1600x1200. I did hear the fan in the card...

I've run ATiTool and SiSoft Sandra using the Burn-in for the CPU and for the RAM for about an hour each and neither has come up with any errors.

The whole OS is moved to a different drive - I've taken the original OS drive out, and did a proper format on the replacement one before I reinstalled Windows - this should have marked any bad sectors as bad and not used them, am I right? One of the first things I installed after the reformat...

For *xxxx'x* sake.. (See here for background and specs http://forum.osnn.net/showthread.php?t=82381 ) The problem with the USB not working seems to have been fixed by moving everything to a powered hub. However, the crashing has returned, again. If I try and run too much 3D stuff, the PC...

Ah, so I'm going to have to format to get rid of it - theres no way of just uninstalling or deleting things if I go back to my original primary installation?

I suppose so... How easy is it to remove the installation of XP from one of my other HDs if it turns out not to be that? I'm running scandisk on my Primary now - Am I right in thinking that if it finds no bad sectors or anything then its not the drive at fault, and if it does (especially only...
