A virus will not cause your computer to crash in the manner you describe
(besides, if it /was/ a virus, you'd be posting in the wrong place - viruses
don't attack hardware, at least not in the manner you describe).

Besides, why aren't you invoking the warranty that came with tye system? All
manufacturers give you at least a year's warranty and you've only had the
thing a couple of months (at least I think that's what 'onhs' is supposed to
mean). If my two month old car started stalling, you think I'd post to a
newsgroup about it? No, I'd take it back to the dealer. Why should a PC be
any different?

You have a warranty - use it!

How do you know that his problem is covered under his warranty?

Define 'crashes'.

It could
happend within mins when the cd is inserted or within 1hr or so..

If it happens within hours, what makes you think the problem is with
the cd? Did you check your Event Viewer?

Can

Did you run a virus check?

Did you get all the latest upgrades from MSFT?...including the DirectX
stuff?


Have a nice week...
