Okay, my PC (the one that's in my bedroom), has been pissing me off. [spoiler=Problems of my PC in the past]I've had it about 5 years, and as long I've had it, it's been nothing but a fucking nightmare. When I first had the XP: Home Edition (when I first got it), it suddenly had a blue screen of death, and it was like a error stop screen, but I wasn't sure what it meant, and all these numbers showed up and they scrolled down the screen then the computer restarted it's self after, and was okay for a while. So, about a while later I started having issues with it. I kept getting virus attacks, even thought I had AVG, fully up to date, Windows Defender online, and I still kept getting a virus or 3. About a while later they were gone. One night I had a problem with my music downloader LimeWire, it wasn't working properly, so I went to Download.com, and they're a good site, I've trusted them for a long time, so I was looking at their list, to see if I could get a new LimeWire, as the one I had, wasn't working properly, so I put in the search bar LimeWire, and I got results, and this one seemed new, it was called LimeWire Gold, and I was dead wrong about it. It turned out to be a virus. A bad one. It installed on my Drive C. and it was a nightmare to get rid of. I tried a new XP account, and it was still there. So I talked to a gay friend of mine's boyfriend about it and he's bit of a PC expert, like I am and he gave me this file that was to rid of the virus, so about a month later the trojan was finally gone. About a year later I started getting pop-ups, even though I didn't have Firefox, turned on and they kept appearing on my desktop, and they were porn pop-ups, the same type my old 98 computer kept getting, so about a while later I woke up around 4am, (due to my insomnia), and I went into the small games room my parents had in the house, and I turned on my PC, it loaded like it did, and all of a sudden it went to desktop and things started loading up a strange error pop-up, and I saw my start menu bar start changing white then all of a sudden a fatal error stop screen (aka Fatal Blue Screens of Death) started popping up. Then I said my to my brother that my PC was a total ass. So, about a few weeks later they kept coming up so back then we called out a PC expert the same guy we knew who fixed my 98 before the system failure, and fixed my PC's problems, with virus attacks, and such, so he wiped my computer and started again, and it was fine for a while. So, about a while later I was playing Guild Wars with a few of my online friends, then suddenly my PC's screen went black, the monitor light was flashing (meaning it was on standby), and my PC wasn't loading. This happened about twice that night.[/spoiler] So, since I've had my PC it's been so weird. I've had one of my uncles/cousins to repair my parents PC after we had a power failure and it fucked their computer up so he took mine to get it sorted due to the fact the blue screens of death returned. Again. So, now all my PC does it crash. Not hanging like, where a lot of my programes/stuff just stops responding, and there's no viruses, no worms, no spyware, no maware, no crap. I've done scans, and nothing is found. My PC is slow (as always) and drives me nuts. What do you guys think? I'm out of ideas, yet I'm meant to know about a PC, yet this is puzzling me. I know I need to remove the system files from my Drive E, cause they're only copies where the original copies are on C. So, what do you lot think? At the moment my PC was upgraded into Windows XP: Professional Edition, as when I first got it, it was Home Edition, where my parents is Service Pack 1, mine is 2.
