Hi, I have a HP m7667c, There started to be some virus activy on it, and now it reboots over and over, Now it can only go on safe mode. It is xp, and service pack 3 was on it at the time. But when on safe mode, lines going vertical up and down, are on the screen, kind of green colored. It isnt the moniter or cord.
Hey Liez4Love Before we begin the cleanup process, it is important to do a little analysis first. We will analyze your computer with a tool called HijackThis. Please reboot your computer into Safe Mode With Networking by doing the following: • Restart your computer • After pressing the power button, repeatedly tap the F8 key. • Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear; • Select the option to run Windows in Safe Mode With Networking, then press Enter. • Choose the administrator's account. Please download the HijackThis zip file. Save it onto a convenient place in your computer, and then unzip the file. Rename HijackThis(.exe) to scanner(.exe). Next, run scanner(.exe). A window will pop up. • Click on the button which says Main Menu, then Do a system scan and save a logfile. • Please wait for the scan to be completed. • After the scan has completed, a text window will pop up. Please post the contents of this window here. This will also be located at hijackthis(.txt) in the same folder that HijackThis was originally saved. NOTE:: Do not fix anything using HijackThis, as this may also damage legitimate components of your computer. Best Regards

Also am currently trying to download bootzilla and barts pe. Good idea? or not really? And p.s Thanks a ton!! cdavfrew
Hey Liez4Love Yup, both are probably good ideas. However, I cannot be sure if this is malware activity, so you'll have to do a little more analysis. Please reboot your computer into Safe Mode With Networking by doing the following: • Restart your computer • After pressing the power button, repeatedly tap the F8 key. • Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear; • Select the option to run Windows in Safe Mode With Networking, then press Enter. • Choose the administrator's account. Now, please download ComboFix. With ComboFix, at the download window, please rename it to Combo-Fix(.exe) before downloading it. Save it to your Desktop. Please disable all security programs, such as antiviruses, antispywares, and firewalls. • Run Combo-Fix.exe and follow the prompts. • Accept the End-User License Agreement. • Allow the Recovery Console to be installed. • When you see the window below, click on Yes. • When the Recovery Console has been installed, click on Yes to start the scan. **Understand that things like your system clock changing and your desktop disappearing might happen. Do not worry, because all will be restored later. • Wait for the scan to be fully completed. • If it requires a reboot, please do so. • After the scan has completed entirely, please post the log here. The log will be located at C:\ComboFix(.txt) Do not click on the ComoboFix window, as it may cause it to stall. Best Regards

Ok so a few issues have come to my attention. There are two different "admin" profiles from the start safe mode login. There is a admin, and a "HP_Admin". I went into user account, and I can delete neither. Which admin should I use? Ive been using HP_Admin. Thanks in advanced again, for all your help. EDIT+++++ I forgot to mention that after running the combo fix, and getting that log. my comp is still in safemode, without the tasktoolbar or any icons, basically stuck. Im assuming, but am going to ask first, I should restart it by task manager?
Hey Liez4Love Sorry to say it, but I think that this is not malware activity, but rather, some hardware issue. Best thing would be to reinstall Windows and see if that works. You can restart the desktop icons and everything by using the Task Manager. Click on File > New Task (Run...) and type in explorer.exe. Click on OK, and see if your icons come back. Best Regards
OK, do I just use the install windows, repair installation? or should I use the recovery console to fix the mbr, and stuff? Also, I don't have the installation cds..
oh god. I think I just ruined the computer. I used HP's recovery cds maker. Tried it, and no luck.... Now it wont even boot into safe mode, or give me recovery console....
Sounds like a hardware problem through and through... You may have to bring the computer to a computer repair shop for a checkup.
You can get replacement recovery cd's from hp by ordering them tho last time i checked it was a f'n rip off,or perhaps a download of floppy images or cd images of your OS from the hp site or microsoft,tho you'll need to get the exact image like xp SP1 or SP1.1 otherwise it will fail on install or activation assuming they're still there to download There is always a linux live cd you could use coz if that runs ok then most of your hardware will be fine apart from IDE controller & HDD,you could even install it to some empty space then see if any issues arise hardware wise Once you've got your recovery disks or the comp backup & running with windows go get yourself a copy of Ghost or Acronis True Image as either of these programs makes the recovery disk & partition obsolete including that useless system no restore,below is a link you may need if you need help with drive imaging they're a helpfull friendly bunch tho chances are you won't need em as imaging is fairly straight forward http://radified.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?board=ghost9_10
Bought a whole brand new copy of Windows Media Center. Hoping it would solve my dilemma. Now before I can even access recovery console or anything on the OEM cd, it gives me this stop error: 0x0000007b (0xF78D2524, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) Im assuming thats my RAID and SATA drivers. But I have no idea what to do.
Sounds like a faulty motherboard. Time for a checkup Look here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324103 Hope it works out...
I was able to install Windows Media Center. Had to fixboot and fixmbr. Its up now. But I can not download and configure video drivers for it. I dont have them on disk, and when I scroll down(in any windows explorer or firefox browser) my cpu jumps up to 100, and the screen lags and "repaints" it self. Also moving windows has a huge slow and laggy delay. The driver for my video card from the HP website actually crashes, and makes the computer reboot. (Kind of the same issue I first had with it) So I downloaded a driver from NVIDIA, and after half way through installing it, it tells me I need to put in the disk, but I have no disk, I downloaded it.
Try an older version of driver if nvidia still lists them,i've had an issue just recently with an updated driver from them,ended up using my original driver,failing that do a search for earlier drivers.
