BleepingComputer.com: PC wont start up at all after a "Crash"

I was doing something (On youtube) and all of a sudden my pc flashed a BSOD too fast for me to read and automaticly re-booted...


Now when I try to boot it I get a black screen with a blinking - at the top left and I cant get anywhere

The motherboard screen thing comes up fine and I can press f8 to acess the boot device menu but whatever option I pick gives me the same error- a blinking -.


What should I do? I cant access Safe Mode as I can only mash f8 and get the boot device menu...any later and nothing happens and i am stuck on the blinking - pf death.

EDIT: Moved from XP to Am I Infected at user request ~ Hamluis.

Update: I tried a repair install after someone else on the fourm had a simulat problem ... it showed promise but when it rebooted after "repairing" it I still have the blinking -.


Any help? I kinda need my pc working once again. and I DONT want to format it... im not sure if that will even fix it at this rate.

FWIW: Black Screen (fixmbr) - http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;314503

System manufacturer and model?

Got rid of the black screen... I had/have some kind of virus that attacked my master boot record and totally decimated it I reinstalled windows (not formatted) and fixed the mbr

Now I have no drivers for my video and sound card and ALL of my updates were rolled back (I blame the repair installation I tried)

so Now I have no audio.


Can somone move it to the "AM I infected?" forum?

Can someone help me with the nivdia and HD REALTEK drivers?

My internet explorer is also the really old version and I am updating it.

Alright installed drivers and it seems mostly fixed... its running slightly slower however now... any way to fix this?


Malwarebytes and SAS found some trojans and removed them however my pc is still about 20% slower then it used to be.

For example when I start task manager I used to have the processes running thing on the bottum show up immedately

Now it takes about 5 seconds to show up.

Trying to open disc defragger gives me a "MMC Cannot open the file c:/Windows32/dfrg.msc" error

Saying It might not exist, is not on MMC console or created by a later version. it also says I might not have rights to access it



I really want my computer to return to its normal pretty damn fast state... not this weird 70 oercent efffincency its doing now


MBAM and SAS is now comming up clean as well. so I have NO CLUE why its slower
