this is on another of my PCs.

When I press the power button it is suppose to be green. But now it a orange light flashes. To stop it I have to hold the button down for 6 seconds.

About 2 or 4 times before this, whenever it started and reached the windows loading screen it would just turn off by itself. If I tried again it would ask me to used the startup repair and return to the last system restore point. Then it worked normally. But next time I turn it on I had to do this again. I thought it might have been a program I installed but I did a system restore back 6-7 days and now it won't start...

One time I was sure I smelt a burning smell when I was checking the wires in the back.

During start up, it shows the physical disks and the type(ID) but it shows Error Occurred (0)

My internet woould not allow me to download the latest Flash Player.
And I am unsure of how to get my normal Icon logon screen.
Some pop-up dialouge boxes etc. wont show up either.

squeezebox or essexboy pls help

after i un-check some useless startup, my com is really taking a long time to be "normal".

here is the screenshots of task manager bfore and after 3 minutes.

Before :


After 3 minutes :


IE Monitor, alg.exe, svchost.exe, wuaclt.exe, wmiprvse.exe, all these only appear after 3 minutes.

And all these are internet files, which means when i click on my internet connection to connect, nothing appear.

This prob only happen right after i delete some startup program, using a program call Spotmau Wincare 2008, which they only let u delete instead of untick, so i dunno wat program exactly that i delete.

This is 100% not a virus, as i have just scanned my PC few days ago, and on my antivirus full day.

I NEED A CONFIRMED ANSWER for my SOLUTION. Plz..
