Help!! Computer! *breaksdown* - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 08-11-2003, 02:26 PM

Ok.. I seem to be having a computer problem thats really starting to

me off. Ill be watching TV (from the computer) browsing the boards and then BAM! this... system error in a small box pops up and says it will shutdown- save all your unsaved documents blah blah blah. Its on a 60 sec. countdown. This has happened now 4 times- yet it seems to do it only when the TV is on. Hold that thought. I had to post this not even done because it came up. This time I took a screengrab of it. Im running a virus scan, but it did one just on the 8th. *screams* ANYONE PLEASE.. HELP ME. I dont think I can take this

thing anymore!!

Hmm... I don't really know how to help on this one but have you tried running scan disk?

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 08-11-2003, 02:44 PM

Whats that? Im sure we have it. Thing is... the comp. wont stay on now for more than like, 10 min. it started off as 25, now its going down..

When I re-started (AGAIN..%#%%#@!!) my virus thing came up and said it couldnt scan Instant Messenger.. but it didnt say AIM.. oh well. I just deleted it anyways. Lately its been popping up for me to upgrade and I kept cancelling it. Ill see what happens.

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 08-11-2003, 03:00 PM

Im about to take a bat to this thing and give it a reason to shutdown. Ok, so its not AIM.. I just deleted the $%%$%^ thing for nothing. MEANGYA. I just shut down the computer entirely, along with mine next to it.

And now, before that other window, I get THIS one...

Crystal...I got the same error on my other computer, your using windows XP right? I contacted emacheines people, and they said there is no way to fix it right now, but to restart your computer to before august, and to STAY OFF THE INTERNET! because it is either a worm or virus.
