It all started about a month ago ...........
I have a Dell Dimension 4600 with Windows XP operating
system (no network) it is
a home computer that is more than 4 years old.
I have had some Virus / Trojan Horse problems which are
resolved. My computer is
now protected with Avast and Stopzilla.
I have changed ISP's in the last month in my thrashing
about to resolve problems.
I have downloaded updated drivers through a service
(driveragent.com) and also sub-
scribed to a registry repair service (registryfix.com).
While these steps have eliminated many of the strange
"blue screen messages"
like : BAD POOL HEADER or IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL , I am
still getting
a "blue screen message" that says Windows has to be shut
down to protect my
computer and these are becoming more frequent.
I suspect (but I'm not certain) my hard drive (which is
a Western Digital Caviar internal 40GB) and have ordered a
Seagate 160GB to replace it.
I would appreciate any comments about the possible source
of my problems.
I DO intend to replace the hard drive and while I can
handle the physical aspect
I don't how to install the OS.
If more info is needed I'll try to provide it !!
Many thanks,
Common Joe
