This device called Tri-OS Instant Recovery Card when \ninserted into the PCI slot of your motherboard, will close \nall ports of entry into the hard drive so no data can get in \nand get out of the hard drive. The Card will back up all \ndata being protected and create a mirror image. The mirror \nimage will then be posted in the buffer and all operations \nexecuted by the user will be confined only in the buffer \nthat after the user shuts down his computer and boots up \nagain continuing onward in a protect mode, all previous \nlesson will be deleted and the OS prompted will be the \nrefreshed version in the buffer. In short, if no data can \nget into or out of the hard drive of your computer protected \nby Tri-OS Instant Recovery Card, will you still need a fire \nor anti-virus to protect your computer or worry about \nmalicious tampering? \n\nFor further information check our website www.Tri-OS.com

boy, sounds like and advertisement to me.  I thought this was for questions.  guess I was wrong.

Likely hood is that you'll do a fair bit of damage.\n\nA) You'll crash your computer. There is now no data to access from Windows.\nB) You will most likely hurt your harddrive. you could short circuit it, wipe data, or break mechanisms within the actual drive.\n\nand most importantly.. You'll most likely hurt yourself. it will cost you money to get this fixed, and you could ELECTROCUTE yourself!\n\nby the way,\nWHY ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING THIS?!?\nYou could stop all of these issues by just turning your computer OFF!\n\n\nPlease don't do this... \nHope this helps,\nmitch

Although it is quite possible that nothing noticeable will happen (I have done this hundreds of times without major consequences), you should try to avoid it at all cost. There are three main reasons for this:\n\n1. You will probably lose any unsaved data.\n\n2. It could damage your computer and/or shorten its life.\n\n3. It could cause some files (that HAVE been saved) to be permanently deleted and/or corrupted. Although this is fairly rare, it has happened to me before--and the possible risk is worth serious consideration. All files are at risk; including system files, program files, and all personal files.\n\nSo I suggest that you fix this problem. There are a few different ways you can do this. Your best option is to buy a battery backup system--it should cost you about $25-$45--it will protect your computer from unexpected blackouts as well as it being accidentally unplugged. You could try getting a new surge protector (I assume that is what you mean by an "extention thingy that has a saftey on it")--they are usually about $5, but you can sometimes find them for free with a rebate. However, if you aren't going to get a battery backup, instead of replacing a functional surge protector, I suggest you simply bend the electrical contacts (prongs) outward slightly; this will improve the electrical connection and hold the plug in place.

Well It Could Be Solved By All Those Things, But You Haven't Specified Exactly What Happens After 10 Mins. Coz If The Comp Restarts After 10 Mins It's Probably A Trojan. And Most AVs Can't Detect Trojans That Easily. For That You Should Use AVG, It's Kinda Good. If It Is A Virus Or A Trojan That Still Can't be Deleted It's Probably A Sasser Worm, That Can Only Be Gotten Rid Off By A Low Frequency Format. Trust Me This Works Coz I Had The Same Problem!

Why was the choice made to use the System recovery CDs that came with your PC vs. the System Restore option?\n\nIn most cases the "System Restore" will restore your PC to the point that it was last updated or new software was installed.\n\nTime and disks requested depends on what needs to be recovered/restored. Normally you put in Recovery disk 1, a complete restore might ask you to insert the next disk, and so on.\n\nSo, it is not normal for your system to ask for the same disk over and over again, unless it wasn't able to do what it suppose to do.\n\nIf running, Windows 2000 or XP and still are having problems after running the Recovery disks. Try to cold boot the system and press the F8 key, as soon as you turn on the PC, to start the PC in Safe mode. Then click Start>Help and support>Select "Undo changes to your computer with System Restore".

You probably purchased a dell with a hard drive that has  Data Safe, it uses a protocol called Raid 1. This means that your computer uses two hard drives and the 2nd hard drive mirrors the first to protect from data loss. If the raid mirror has degraded then the 2nd drive is no longer able to mirror the 1st.\n\nLuckily, your computer won't suffer any ill effects from this aside from the message you are getting. I suspect that 2nd drive is in some way defective, so you probably won't be able to fix it yourself. In short, its time to for you to invoke that warranty that the folks at dell force you purchase.

Do a "system recovery" These instructions, will clean everything off of your hard drive, so you must back up anything that you want to save. I have done this several times, and I got these instructions, from a computer tech. When starting your computer, tap the F-10 key. click on next-yes-and follow the instructions, that come up on your screen. When you are finished, your computer, will look just like it did, when you first bought it.Do these steps, in order, when finished.\n1. set up windows firewall\n2. windows update (click express)\n3. install your anti-virus program (update)\n4. install anti-spyware (update)\nThis is called a "system recovery

It is simple friend. Just purchase and install winguardpro. It is a security software that is userfriendly and excellent. U can lock the whole hard disk and prevent anyone else to view its content. I use the same :-)

you are gonna have to reformat it, install an antivirus, and scan for that sumb*tch.\n\nIt most likely will be on the drive that had the Operating system installed on it.\nBut if you have multiple hard drives, then you probably should format both of them just in case.

every one  here saying to go into safemode but it will not work.you will again logof automatically .you just format your hard drive to prevent damage to your system.and install windows again.

You may want to run a virus scan on it.  It doesn't sound good.  Try to backup your data file as soon as possible.  The last resort is to format your drive and start over with installing windows.  Good luck.

Just some thoughts:  In general, the answer is NO.  But, it is possible for you to have a private virus that you unknowingly installed by clicking yes to some pop-up\nwindow.  The virus was written by the person on the chat and\nmade just for you.  It examines your cookie folder for\nsome certain bit of information and when it finds it, it does what it was supposed to trigger, such as shutdown your\ncomputer, etc.  This is just a hypothetical example.\nA true expert can do just about anything.\n\nBy the way, to "boot" your computer means to start it, not\n"shut-off" or "freeze" your computer.  There are systems\nfor starting computer remotely, but you need to have configured them yourself and have a motherboard that supports that feature.

The OS is your operating system, which is probably a version of windows.  Reinstalling it is often a last resort, as it will wipe out all of your stored files.  It is also an easy first solution if you don't care about anything on the computer.\n\nIt's hard to know how to fix your problem because it could be a number of different things.  When you first turn your comptuer on it should go through what is called a Power On Self Test (POST).  You should hear a beep and than see a screen pop up as the computer tests all of the devices.  If all you see is a screen with a logo, such as "DELL", than your computer is hiding this test from you, but will usually at least show you any errors that come up.  We'd need to see those errors to help figure out what is causing the problem.\n  Also does the computer start loading windows at all?  If you see windows start to load before it crashes and gives yo uteh blinking underscore you can try booting to safe mode.  To do so press F8 as soon as you see windows loading, and then select it from the menu.\n\nA few other things to try: check to make sure you don't have a floppy in the disk drive, or a cd.  Check to see if you have any hard drive activity.  There is a light that normally flashes on the front of your computer when your hard drive reads or writes.  If you don't see it than you might have to replace your hard drive.

If you just stored it on the computer it should be ok unless you have a 4 year old protection program witch is useless against the viruses now of days.\nif you sent your identification through the eternet with out first saving it on a disk or card theres a chance that ur in hot water because the place you sent it probly isnt all that protected.\nbtw: how are bills coming along? (not that Im trying to get into your buisness)

BE CAREFUL!!\nChanging your PC's BIOS can completely kill your computer!\nSome types of virus will try to do this!!!\n\nBasic Input Output System\nBIOS\n\nEvery time you start or re-start your computer, one of the first things your computer's Mother Board (MoBo) does is to read the BIOS.\n\nThis tells it what kind of devices are supposed to be there.\n(Hard drives, CD-ROM, et cetera)\n\nThe BIOS tells your computer how much memory is supposed to be there.\n\nThe BIOS tells your System whether to boot from the hard drive first, or to look for a floppy drive or CD drive to boot from first.\n\nLike when you first wake up, you become "Self Aware".\nYou know, without even having to think, that you are a human, you have eyes, ears, a nose, arms, legs, whatever, and you know that you are (usually) in you bed in your house.\n\nIf any of that changes, like if you are spending the night at a friend's house, your "BIOS" would tell you that your normal operating environment has changed.\n\nThe BIOS doesn't "Load" like you operating system.\n\nAfter the BIOS is read and your system goes through a few checks to make sure everything is working, then your Operating System (O/S) loads (Windows, Unix, DOS, what ever).

If you mean the bios password then yes this way is a method that may work altho rather a dodgy method, i would suggest flashing the bios using the jumper settings - should have a scematic diagram in your motherboard manual. if the password is on windows or a program on the os then this will not correct it you will either have to brute force hack it/use a program or do a system refresh and loose any data that you needed to access within the passworded section.
