Hello everyone,
I am hoping someone can help me with this. My computer was fine, I was working on a Word document and I decided to do a spyware scan since I hadn't done so in a while. I updated and started scanning with SpyBot S&D. At one point in the scan, I got a message saying something like "can't read memory at "... I didn't think it was a huge deal, clicked okay and went back to working on my Word doc. A few seconds later my antivirus (AVG) crashed and I got the famous BSOD.
I rebooted and it starts loading the startup items, after a few minutes things start crashing (i.e. processes failed to initialize, can't find x, etc.) and eventually I get the blue screen.
I logged in Safe Mode and tried a virus scan, the scan was going well and then the whole system crashed and my computer reboots.
I have no idea what this could be, do I have a virus? is my hard drive about to die?
If anyone out there has any ideas I'd appreciate hearing them. Thanks.
