TechSpot - PC Technology News and Analysis

righteo, my names don im from australia.
i dont know much about pcs but i know a few tricks, like the event logger and stuff;

anyways just randomly out of the blue, the pc would restart.
its been doing this maybe a week now?
i cleaned out the dust and crap about 2 weeks ago due to poor performance.
im not sure if its over heating, but when pc reboots the temperature is at like 53degrees celsius (at least thats what im reading from nvidia control panel, i bet thats only for video card tho :P)
anyways ive read up on the following error report ill post, i suspect its a driver issue , and im posting here to ask if the screenshot im about to show records the fault. (two entries of AMD im using AMD x2 dual core 6000+ processor, so not sure if there should be two in regards to it being dual core, or just one)


the error report is as follows

thats part of the reason why i suspect it may be drivers but im here to make sure so i dont screw pc up :P im scared :P

ah i see you need 3 posts in order to post screenies./links

oh well, you will just have to take my word for it

under the Processors tab in device manager, there are two entries that read
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
they both appear to have the same phrases when i open them.



if this is in the wrong part of forum, i apologize.

can you help me out?
if its definatly a driver issue, but not the AMD drivers i identified how can i go about finding the fault, as ive gone thru device manager and there are no exclaimation marks or anything unusual other than this double entry ive discussed.


thanks in advance;
don

It appears you are infected with a variant of the Sdbot virus.

The Sdbot virus creates a hidden process. This process closes programs that system administrators use for diagnostic and configuration purposes. The process may also prevent these programs from running.

I would recommend first going HERE

If you decide you want to clean your system go HERE Follow instructions exactly and post your logs in the security section of the forum which is located HERE

is this also a result of the virus' evilness?

Most likely read the description that I provided for what SDbot does
