Hey guys,
I was wondering if there was someone out there willing to help me on this. A few days ago my computer was running just fine, albeit a little slow but that's normal. It's Vista Home Premium, I don't quite know the whole stats for it. anyway, a few days ago my computer started acting funny. It started to slow down considerably, programs and windows takes a while to open, and my games tend to lock up and freeze from time to time. Looked it up, and someone said it was this avgidsh.sys thing that apparently slows things down. I had to go through this elaborate thing where I had to make a flashdrive bootable with this AVG program that was able to access the files and either more or rename the .sys files. That didn't work so through it I deleted it them.
It worked fine, avg re-installed, everything was working good. But my game stilled lagged very much. The game is Star Wars The Old Republic, if that means anything. When the game lagged and froze, it took it a good minute or so for it to stop, but during that time rather a full lock up I was still able to move my mouse courser. Finally, the other day I did a simple reset, and everyhtign was running. But then it all started to slow down until fianlly stopping completely. Windows won't respond, nothing won't respond,I can still move the mouse. I did a hard reset, (I think, I held down the power until it was off) and reset it again. this time I took noticed that my hard drive was running and the little process light was flashing. After a few minutes windows stopped responding again, and this time I notice that the hard drive stopped making it's usual humming and clicks, and the process light, which was flashing the whole time, stops.
I was able to get it into safe mode, where I tried to get my files off, did a chkdsk thing, everything that a lot of tech sites have told me, (or at least from what I could decipher, I'm not that tech savvy). Eventually whatever this problem was started to effect safe mode, so in a fit of frustration, and unable to get everything off my computer due to this problem, I did a full factory restore. It goes through the process, finishes, and then gets to the whole starting windows for the first time thing.
It stopped there, with the same problem. Stayed there for like over an hour, so I did another restart. It tells me windows can't start and does a start-up restore. Start up cannot fix problem, and now I'm trapped in this infinite loop. Can't safe mode, nothing.
I looked around some more, people saying it's a virus, some saying my HD is shot, some recommending doing ANOTHER factory restore, so on and so forth.
Is there anyone out there who knows of this, has experience with it, or anything that can assist me? I would very much appreciate it, because my computer is the very last thing in this world I can call my own, and at this momen
