TheTrueDarkOne Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 (edited) update below in codeC:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\smss.exeshould it bere there? I am looking to see if that is the possible infectionOk,well when i try to boot my PC up it will go to log-in screen, and after logging in after a few seconds the computer restarts.I am currenlty in "safe mode with networking" scanning with my Norton, and if nothing comes up AVAST PRO. What i need is your opinions on what i am about to sayTo my belief it is a virus on my computer due to the fact that it will load up perfectly to log-in screen, and even load desktop ( until it restarts). This takes away the possibility of a HD issue.Hmmm just my luck, 9/10 months no computer, 2 months after being back another computer issue ( last one wasnt my fault, MOBO just fried). Well Can I get your opinions on what i said above THANKS~JoseP.S it is so fun when only half of this form fits on the monitor Edited October 8, 2005 by TheTrueDarkOne Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Parrotgeek7 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 It sounds more like a driver issue then a virus, especially since you can do most things in safe mode.I would suspect a video driver is causing your problem. Delete the current driver and then reboot and see if it will reinstall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTrueDarkOne Posted October 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 video driver you say... I suppose i will grab my manual for my MOBO ( to see where i need to get it)The reason i believe its a trojan/virus is b/c my Norton Auto-Protect is off ( could be due to being in safe mode, i cant check in regular b/c it doesnt load in time), as well as email scanning. I have ran AVAST PRONorton 2003 PRoMcAfee Online Scanner and nothing has come up. I am about to try a good ole sytem restore , and if that doesnt fix it, i will be back in safemode trying to find the video driver Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTrueDarkOne Posted October 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 (edited) Thank you guys I am live and kicking nowhttp://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293078 http://oca.microsoft.com/en/response.aspx?...0cf3a478&SID=11So yes i t may have been a video driver error. I never knew of a video driver doing those things, guess you learn a new thing every day. I was right no auto-protect b/c i was in safe mode. The issue has been solved ( system restore) and then the link came up, so I am going to look for update for all my devices. Problem: Windows restarts after logging in ( the system logs into and shows the desktop with processes starting, then shuts off randomly). The time it took to restart varied, and no definite answer is available.Caused Problem: Possible installtion of Kaspersky Beta 6Solution: System Restored, and updating driversNotes: *None at the moment( another one to keep in my little log) ( i need to find it though )Thank you guys Edited October 8, 2005 by TheTrueDarkOne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
