Does anyone have problems with the blue screen virus thing that shuts down your comp and shows a blue screen?

I have had this problem lots of times. When you next start up your computer follow these steps:\n\n1. Click 'run' on the start menu\n2. Type in 'cmd' - this will take you to a command prompt screen.\n3. Type in 'chkdsk /r'\n4. It will say that this programme can run when you next restart your computer, so type 'y' (yes)\n5. Now restart your computer and the disk scan will commence - it may take a while though, so do it at the end of the day.\n\nYour computer should be fine afterwards.

I have recently gotten and old ibm and installed win Me and had really bad shutdown issues as well .These were caused by antivirus programs. I could not install any AV at all without problems.It may have been a virus in the computer itself since the hard disk was overwritten 7 times.There is a built in antivirus that you can turn on or off through the bios setup menu .To access press and hold F1 right when you see the ibm screen and hold until you see the setup menu .In the startup options you will see "Virus detection" if it is disabled turn it on,save your settings and exit and  your computer should boot normally if that was the problem.If not turn it off and reboot this time holding down the control key this will give you the boot menu options choose 'safe mode'and enter.This will prevent startup items from loading try a shutdown from safe mode if it works one of your startup items is causing your trouble.Start>Run>type msconfig,enter>choose selective startup.Click the startup tab then disable all entries there except one restart and repeat process until one of these makes your computer misbehave on startup or shutdown when it does you found your culprit.Currently using F-prot antivirus . It dosen't seem to be giving me any problems like the other ones did. Did you upgrade your video card software recently ? Sometimes the upgrade is worse than the old driver.Good luck!!!

yes. you probably have spyware which automatically downloads viruses. i had the same problem. then i wiped the entire hard drive. try that yourself.

I heard that happening with some anti virus software.\nTry shutting down after deactivating the software.\n\nIf that doesnt help try finding out if its a hardware problem.\nGet a program called "end it all" which will close down all running applications and your computer should shut down, if it doesnt then its a hardware thing.

have you deleted files , scaned your disk , did a disk clean up, defragged lately.. those things can slow the comp down, if not done weekly.. maybe you need more ram.. did you update before you ran your virus scan.. sometimes all you need 2 do is reboot.. bummer eh

Can you provide details of what the blue screen says?  That would help tremendously.

No problems with mine, it's more user dependant than anything... just create a strong password and keep your system clean of virii/keyloggers... and don't give it out eh?

Many viruses shut down the antivirus program. Best to do an online scan to see if you have something.\nhttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/\nI had McAfee do the same thing to me before without a virus. I ended up having to reinstall it, then it was OK.

There's also a scanner on Microsoft's website that will scan for viruses and help remove them. \n\nI figure it's the least they could do for allowing so many problems. :)

some application that is running and then refuses to close down on its own when you shut your computer shuts down, if you want it to stop happening, run msconfig.exe and then uncheck it in the start up menu, if it doesnt start up it cant be forced to close down, if its some crap you need for your comp to run well then , kill yourself and blow up your computer at the same time cuz i dunno

I've experience it before.To solve this problem,the best thing you must do is reformat your pc because i believe that your pc has infected by virus.

Mine did this for a while, and my ISP told me I had a very serious virus that was causing the issue. I ran AVG 7.5 (a free virus scan) and the problem left and never came back. Did your geek do a complete scan for viruses?

Microsofts website is full of FS2004 troubleshooting like this, i went through it with my own copy, i still cant get it to work, ive tried redoing my entire computer, the game is flawless on everything except its crashing bugs that seem to have been devised by satan lol. I would have a problem installing, then it would run fine for about 2 or 3 weeks (i did this on 3 diff computers, and they all did this) and it would stop working, it would load up and then shut down with no evidence left behind that it had ever just been started up by me. Freaked me out, i called microsoft and they couldnt help me fix it, tried nearly everything known on earth and it still wouldnt work, ive searched the web an tons of people are having this problem, most likely its our video cards, mine is 128MB dedicated which is pretty powerful but not extreme enough im sure. I dont really know, my copy cost $50.00 and i cannot use it. Im not happy with the service problems. Microsoft has to fix these things. God bless!

Do you get a blue screen saying anything? Sounds like a driver or IRQL mix-up. Any recent changes? Did you run a good anti-virus prog like AVG 7.1? Need more info to help you.
