Answer 1

Your problem is that



U have installed some software or game that is incompatibly for the System or may be



Recycler virus



Better uninstall the latest software that you have installed



Then For SHUTTING DOWN the system



1) Go to cmd (type cmd in run (to go to run press window key + r))



2) Then type shutdown -s for normal shutdown



3)If that doesn't work Type shutdown -p for force shutdown



4)If nothing works Re-install OS ...That will cure all problems

Answer 2

The BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) is in 99% of the cases a sure indicator of virus infection.



Before you think about a factory restore or Windows system re-installation, try this:



What most Windows computer users fail to understand is this:

Besides corrupting your Windows operating system files, the first thing a virus or other malware does, is to either disable or otherwise corrupt your antivirus or any other system protection software program. That is why most of the times you cannot safely, effectively and completely remove a virus infection in a Windows environment. Sometimes the infection is so bad that even your bootsector and master boot record (MBR) gets corrupted, and the computer won't even boot up into Windows anymore.

Most people panick, and either pay a lot of money to some idiot at the Best Buy Geek Squad to remove the infection and repair their Windows system, or they just wipe off everything (losing important personal data), and re-install Windows or do a factory restore.

WRONG: You should always try this first:



For a proper scan and removal of any virus, worm, trojan and any other malware, the best way is to use a System Rescue CD, like BitDefender or Kaspersky. Those are both bootable CDs, that run scans in a safe Linux environment, not corrupted by anything.

Go to a different, healthy, non-infected PC or laptop and download both the BitDefender and the Kaspersky Anti-virus Recovery CDs (free downloads).

Download links for both:

http://download.bitdefender.com/rescue_cd/

http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk

Burn both downloaded iso files to CD with an iso burner software. If you do not have an iso burning software installed, I recommend getting the CDBurnerXP (free software) from here:

http://cdburnerxp.se/

Once you burned the recovery CDs, return to the infected computer and put the BitDefender Anti-virus Recovery CD in your CD/DVD drive and boot from CD (set your boot up options in BIOS to CD boot as first option if it does not boot from CD at first)

After your infected computer boots into the Recovery CD Linux environment, first update the virus definition database from the Internet server, than perform a complete scan of your desktop computer or laptop (all hard drives and/or partitions). Remove (delete) any infections found, and shut down your desktop computer or laptop.

Remove the BitDefender Anti-virus Recovery CD and insert the Kaspersky Anti-virus Recovery CD.

Repeat the same procedure as for BitDefender above.

After scanning with those 2 Anti-virus Recovery CDs, your system should be virus free, and will function properly again.



You might also need to do a master boot record (MBR) repair on your system, if your MBR also got corrupted.

Download the Windows 7 or Vista System Recovery Discs (according to what you got), $9.75 here:

http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/

Burn the ISO to a CD, boot from it and repair your MBR.

Or, with a little computer knowledge, you can create your own System Recovery Disc from an existing installation of Windows, read here:

Good luck.

Answer 3

Dora Ubuntu is just trying to sell you a different OS as it is not 99% that it is a virus but only about 12% virus problem.



You have possibly an update that caused your laptop to become unstable. Usually the audio or video drive is the main problem. Insert your Repair CD (or DVD) and then do a repair.



You did remember to create a Repair CD (or data DVD) when you got your laptop, didn't you? If you don't have a repair disk, you will have to take your laptop to a repair shop for them to re-install the OS or to restore to a previous date, if possible.

I am not sure weather this will help you. Start your computer and press F8 keep the F8 button pressed until it starts and follow the instructions. If this dosent solve the problem then you can restart your comp usuing the F7 button and get help from msdos.
