My computer sucks....help?

Question

Alright...Well my computer is crashing all the time since the new McAffe updated. It will crash when Im trying to shut it down, so its near impossible to do a system restore, or change anything. Most of the blue sceen errors are all different one is like this :
0x0000000c5 (something like that) IDOL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS

They are different all the time, but this one comes up most. I tried unistalling McAffe firewall, and I do have microsofts firewall off (even though it still says it on) Also one more thing...Administrators of the computer is executed under all users...But I can not find the acual administrator account at sign in. I also cannot boot into safe mode...it simple asks me to boot from CD or Drive...The comp was crashing before and I went in and put secrurity to default and it fixed it...then mcaffe udated and now it worse than before..)= help, this comp is about to go out the window....AMD Athlon 64 (Cable internet)

Answer 2

I would need to know which version of windows you are running before I could give you the correct answer. I have had the same problem with windows all the way back to windows 3.1 and was able to fix mine without reformatting. The Ccleaner idea mentioned in a previous answer is a good start; but that is not all you need to do.

Answer 3

Best thing to do is a complete wipe of your computer. FDISK everything and reinstall everything from Scratch. Do not use the same version of Mcaffee you were using when you noticed the system crashes. Use an earlier or later version.. The one you have might've been infected itself. If that doesn't work.. I'm thinking you have hardware issues and need to take it in for repair.

Answer 4

if ur mcafee anti virus few of the features may be disabled, check one by one enable all the option, restart, if still the problem uninstall the mcaffe and reinstall,

if ur still finding the problem reinstall the windows OS
install all the program after that one by one

Answer 5

BEFORE YOU do something drastic like wiping your computer and doing a renstall, download AVG Anti-virus & ZoneAlarm firewall (both free), uninstall McAfee anti-virus & firewall completely.

Then, reboot & turn off your Windows Firewall, install ZoneAlarm, then install AVG anti-virus.

THEN, make sure Windows & all of your computer drivers (especially video) are up to date.

Good Luck

Answer 6

Suggest you copy all files you want to save to an external hard drive or flashdrive, then format and reinstall.
