    Yesterday, during a nice discussion with my forum mates, (and after I posted the pics and vid) my computer started fuggin' up. The screen would pixilate and shut down. It stayed on in safemode. I scanned with Norton and Spybot. got nothing but some cookies. I still fugged up. I got YAK from CNet and did a scan and got a lot of other items I don't know. I also got a bunch of registries that it wanted me to delete. I don't know about deleting them so I didn't. What would the cons be if I did?

    id first disable the culprit at the core.
    In safe mode go to regedit and check under current machine, software, microsoft, windows, current version, run AND run once registry entries and see if there is anything suspect. If it's third party and or crap that looks like "do not delete this is very important" ****ing delete that ****zu.
    Same goes for the same shadowed entry under current user , software.. Microsoft... You get the picture.

    Then reboot into safe mode again, this way none of these assholes are gonna implement on boot sequence, and won't potentially prevent a comprehensive malware scan from executing

    Laters

    On a smartass note: if that fails, and your pc dies take it as a sign from above to migrate to a Mac

    unplug it first. Then wash it with a strong solvent.

    AIDS son, and you aint MJ. Take it to a pro...the $200 bucks to get it fixed and working proper will be worth the frustration your setting yourself up for.
