Hi
I have recently been experiencing some problems with my PC. I think it stemmed from installing the latest Ali integrated drivers 1.07. But i'm not certain. About 2 weeks ago i switched on and was presented with a windows reactivation screen. I had to generate a number, ring a helpline, quote the new number and was given a new activation code. This was slightly suspect i thought.Now the system will lock up completely at random times. In windows, booting up, shutting down. I can never get the system to stay running long enough to check other apps. Sometimes when i first switch on it will take approx 2-3 mins before starting the boot process. Same thing in safe mode too. I managed to roll back the Ali AGP driver (which i think has something to do with it?), and the graphics driver to 23.11 dets. Finally got to boot up for longer than 5 mins last night. Used verifier.exe to check what drivers are currently installed, upon starting the app the system started rebooting. Every time i start up it reboots, no prompts, mouse clicks, key strokes anything.
Extremely fed up as i have had to return the machine to the manufacturers twice already. Think a third time is called for? Any ideas would be gratefully received.
