dang :( Hope you get it sorted-out. I always use the supplied "uninstall" feature if the program comes w/ one.
 
RIP Icetex's computer :computer:
 
This really stinks! :(

Is it alive enough to do a virus scan?
 
I did virus scan with malware bytes and microsoft suricity essaials and comodo internet seruicity it did dectected nothing
At all
Might need computer looked at
By professial this time
Just hope don't need new computer
 
Good idea to have a professional take a look at it. Hopefully, it will be an easy fix and won't cost much. Good luck with this!
 
You could probably recover it by reinstalling the operating system. Something probably got bricked somewhere. You may have too many startup applications that are hogging your RAM or something of that sort as well if a virus isn't the issue.

A professional should be able to do a proper cleanup and restore some of the performance of the machine. It's likely not a hardware issue if it's worked properly in the past.

Yeah but windows 7 is not sold in stores anymore
So can't reinstall os unless they happen to have it
Also I got this computer at pawn shop so had no warrenty
 
I hate it when tech stops working. Good luck getting everything back in working order.

There's a good chance they do. When I got my laptop's hard drive replaced earlier this year, they managed to reinstall Windows 7 just fine.
 
My dad can repair desktop PC's, but lately he's been installing Windows 8.1 Pro on them. I'm fine with the standard edition though.
 
I'm surprised Microsoft is trying to phase Windows 7 out this early. I know it's still possible to obtain Windows 7 OEM licenses easily, but non OEM licenses are a little harder to obtain. I guess Microsoft is just that passionate about Windows 8. :P
