I've installed that program & it won't open, I believe from the virus.

I somehow downloaded a virus that looks like a Windows Security Center alert. I am currently running Windows Vista. Every couple of minutes a pop-up appears that looks exactly like the windows security alerts window saying I dl'd some malware or something simialar. I have run CCcleaner already &...

Thanks for all the advice, much appreciated. I will probably have to save for a couple months, but I will be upgrading the mobo, cpu & psu. I will more than likely come back here and ask for suggestions when I have enough money, which will probably take me a couple months, there might be better...

I was thinking about upgrading my CPU to something a little nicer. I got my comp at the end of 2007 from AVADirect and have only added another 2 gigs of memory and I just replaced the vid card with a PNY Geforce GTS 250 1gb. I would consider my tech level at medium so I was wondering if anyone...

As my title says I am a "noobie", so all help is appreciated so I hate to ask stupid questions. But is there any way to upgrade to Vista 64 from 32 or do I have to buy a whole new version of Vista 64 and do a clean install of it after erasing the Vista 32 bit OS. It's not that I'm gonna need...

Yea, srry for not giving all my system specs. Yes I am using 32-bit Vista. Whats was that about 3.3 being my system limit, I thought it was 8. I have an Asus M2V mobo and i could of sworn it said it can handle a max of 8gigs, maybe not. THanks for the help and responses so far.

"What fascinates me is you neglect to list your operating system." Sorry, didn't mean to fascinate you, smartass. Ryan you are correct, I am running Vista 32 and didn't know that was a factor. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

I was running 2gb (1 stick per gig) and just added 2 more 1GB sticks of the same memory. After installing the 2 new sticks and ran a DxDiag its only showing 3326 mb of memory and not 4096 mb which is the sum of 1024 x 4. 3326 isnt that much lower than 4096 and its a lot better than the 2048mb...

I'd also like to back up AVA as a good, honest company. I think I started one of the threads he is talking about and I just wanna say I started that thread looking for help and to explain my situation, not to put down or insult AVADirect in any way. I am happy with my system build and the...

I hear your frustration pdon, and you have 100% valid complaints. It's what you put before and after those complaints that I would consider to be insults and slander. And no offense, but start your own thread about your problem and I'm sure you could get a response from Chris or Misha and maybe...

To keep you guys updated AVA replaced the mobo and memory did testing and the system is on it's way back to me. Probably won't get here till Monday due to the holiday. Chris has been talking to me this whole time and has kept me informed as to what's going on. pdonket I understand your...

Well I just heard back from Chris today and he said they haven't been able to reproduce the freeze on startup problem I was having. Said it has passed all the test like 3dMark06 and some other just fine. Ran a program on it that reboots it over and over w/o it ever freezing up. The only third...

I'm still glad I bought the comp from AVA, Chris has kept in contact with me this whole time and has been helpful with any and all questions. I think I just have a strange issue thats tough to diagnose/fix. I sent the comp back earlier today with assurance that it will have top priority. I would...

/bump Please, any help would be much appreciated, I really have no idea what to do this time around.
