Wierd things are happening to my computer. Things on
their own that look like they are some kind of unknown
toolbar, the start menu opens up on its own, programs
such as microsoft excel open up on their own etc. When
this happens the CPU often goes to 100% and my computer
freezes but eventually usually unfreezes itself,
sometimes after I press ctrl-alt-del and switch to and
sometimes on its own. Ive run up to date virus checkers
and spyware checkers and they both show no viruses and no
spyware.
Someone told me that I should boot from a disk rather
than the harddrive so I put in the windows xp disk, but
then I got a message that I was installing windows so I
discontued that I may have also got a message about
repairing windows which I also discontinued. My computer
would not boot up from the windows xp cd.
After this occurred I noticed that my screeen looked odd,
first the screen was fuzzy and had very big icons but
then when I got in the internet this got corrected by my
ISP but the fuzzy screen still remained. I could not
change the display it read at the lowest possible level
but would not move. I checked system thing in windows xp
and it showed a question mark in yellow next to my
graphics card so I uninstalled the graphics card and then
pressed add hardware and was able to change the display
items and pressed to keep the change and the screen
looked ok, that is until I turned off my computer.
When I turned my computer on the next day the same
missing graphics card, same fuzzy screen and wrongly set
and same unmovable display items showed again. This
happens every day. Though I can fix it by uninstalling
the graphics card, pressing add hardware and then
manually change this display, it is a real hassle to have
to do this every day and every time I turn my computer
on.
How can I keep the graphics card from disappearing or
having that yellow question mark and how can I keep the
display set the way its supposed to be and not getting
the fuzzy screen everyday.
Also what is causing my screen to flicker, things to
start on their own, and my computer freezing and how can
this be stopped
