One of my PCs started acting up recently. When I goto shutdown, it says ‘shutting down’, then these words go away, and it gives me a ‘blue screen of death’ and never completes.
I’m pretty sure I’m sypware and virus free. Just completed spyware scans a few weeks before at safety.live.com (mircosoft) and trendmicro housecall. After this happened, I tried the scandisk, ran OK, and defragged last nite. Also completed OK.
I’m on win2k, latest version, and all patches up to date. Other than the shutdown problem, my system seems to be running fine, and I don’t see any unknown taks in the tasks bar.
I do have visual studio installed, which has its own sql server but hasn’t been a problem. I started doing some vb progs to read access files around the time this started, and they hung up a few times till I figured out the needlessly complicated m$ way of getting data from files.
Now I have to pull the plug from the back of PC as front power button hangs when screen turns blue.
Any ideas?
