XP Hell

[teaser]

Oh I forget to say that this new malware wipes out some "dll" files when you try to do a reboot and after that the machine acts exactly the way you described it.

Thanks guys,
First off I am glad it's not my computer! It's a friend and it was in storage for a long time so I would think dell will not help out.
The funny part is it worked fine for a long time, they never surf the web just on line billing, the day it died their granddaughter got on facebook to show some pictures and also downloaded some poker game....Sad how it can crash and burn in minutes ..
